An advanced linear motor system is powering a revolutionary new zipperapplicator for continuous vertical form-fill-seal and horizontal flow -wrapping equipment. Two zip attachment heads running along the samemagnet track allow the new Reseal 460X machine to achieve throughputsof up to 120 pouches/minute, providing a breakthrough in food packaging technology. To support continuous manufacturing, the zip feed mechanism is driven by a rotary servomotor which is mounted on a fast-accelerating linear motor axis that tracks the speed of the plastic web. Themachine's four axes of motion - two rotary BSM servomotors and two forcers on the LSS linear stage - are controlled by a Baldor NextMove BXmotion controller and four FlexDrive servo drives. All motion, I/O and human-machine interface system components are provided for the new machine.
