Speed and Accuracy from B&R stepper motors
A company approached us to develop a system to identify a 2mm thick piece of cardboard in a stack of labels based only on a slight difference in colour between the edge of the labels and the edge of the cardboard, and then to pneumatically separate the stack at the cardboard. The system had to be reliable, accurate, fast, and fit into a small space under an existing machine. It was also necessary for the system to handle different colour labels and cardboard separators.
A combination of a stepper motor from B&R and a linear slide and pneumatic cylinder from Festo brought the system to life. Controlled with B&R’s compact, affordable and fast Power Panel 65 combined with X20 IO, the project was completed. Our in-house graphic designer made interface screens that matched the client’s company profile and are simple and intuitive to use.
We want our next challenge to overcome, so tell us what specific machine setup or tasks you need the machine to perform. Reach out to us to hear your needs. Let's speed up, upgrade, repair or reconfigure your equipment.
A Cylinder Storage machine with a camera system. The machine is capable of storing and retrieving multiple selected cylinders in sequence.
Handling multiple different cylinders with varying weights and sizes appropriately, handling every cylinder through the powerful software written by our project team.
The machine uses three very powerful motors to position itself to each loading bay, respectively reaching up to seven meters high to store cylinders, allowing for maximum utilisation of space.
