First, the process automation is getting higher and higher.
At present, automation technology has accounted for more than 50% of the packaging production line, using a large number of computer design and mechatronics control, adding robots to complete complex packaging actions (simulating manual packaging). Each robot is controlled by a separate computer. The camera monitors the packaging action and feeds the information back to the computer to adjust the range of motion to ensure high quality packaging. At the same time, it has automatic recognition function for packaging material and thickness, and then controls the mechanical action after computer calculation. It is completely "adaptive" system to ensure the system works under optimal conditions.
Second, adapt to product changes, design has good flexibility and flexibility.
In order to meet the needs of competition, the cycle of product renewal is getting shorter and shorter, and some products are even changed in one season. The service life of packaging machinery is much longer than the life cycle of the product, so some packaging machinery should adapt to product changes and can only adapt to flexibility and flexibility, including flexible quantity, flexible construction and flexible supply. The structure can be modularized, and the flexibility of supply means that a machine can realize multiple packaging combinations, and realize multiple feeding ports and different forms of packaging.
Third, the complete set of supply capabilities.
For example, a beverage filling line has more than 200 microcomputer parts, more than 100 kinds of control software, and the filling and capping parts are two sets of combinations, and other parts are shared. Only one supplier can complete the process from engineering design, installation, commissioning to final acceptance.
Fourth, the simulation design technology is widely used.
The design process of the packaging machine begins with storing various machine units in a database in the form of a database, then digitizing the drawings and inputting them into a computer. The computer automatically synthesizes the 3D model, and then inputs the actual production indicators and data, possible failures, and the like. computer. The computer 3D model can be operated according to the actual working conditions, demonstrating the production capacity, the scrap rate, the production link matching, the bottleneck of the production line, etc., and the model can be modified according to the user's opinion until the user is satisfied. The use of computer simulation technology has greatly shortened the design cycle and new product development cycle of packaging machinery.
Vacuum casting offers a wide range of options for companies needing specific finishes,materials, or other features in their prototypes. We have the ability to simulate a full range of thermoplastics and elastomers, and we can also over-mold one
material over another to simulate, for example, rubber over ABS, or opaque plastic over transparent plastic. It is also possible to over-mold threaded inserts.
After casting, painting and printing is common, although polyurethane casted parts can be colored in the mold. EPT also specialize in producing high-gloss clear parts by using a CNC machined and polished acrylic master model. Polyurethane casted clear parts are very high quality.
We can create small and large urethane cast parts with production-like aesthetics and material properties for a range of applications, including medical and healthcare, military, automotive, electronics packaging, consumer products, and others.
Countries with a high level of packaging machinery technology include the United States, Germany, Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom. In recent years, the development of packaging machinery and equipment in these countries has presented new trends in the following aspects.
