Reduce changeover time between varying bottle and container sizes

Quickly convert a packaging machine from running one container size to another.

Challenge

Downtime and changeover

Manufacturing various materials and products on a single machine or line can require downtime for changeover. Effective solutions involve quick-change parts and automated controls for streamlined and rapid conversion.

  • Adjusting manufacturing for different materials causes downtime.
  • Individual requirements may vary between materials.
  • Incorrect conversions risk damaging the machine or product.

Solution

Flexible manufacturing

Using quick-change parts and automated controls simplifies changeover between materials. Omron's automated controls use pre-programmed function blocks to streamline implementation and enhance efficiency.

  • Quick-change parts enable easy swapping for different container sizes.
  • Automated controls streamline the conversion process.
  • Pre-programmed settings allow push-button switching between materials.
