Precise format changeovers are an important priority for machine builders in Germany. Long before the phrase “Industry 4.0” entered popular usage, machinery developers were wondering how they could implement reliable adjustment mechanisms in their products while retaining good flexibility. Automatic format changeovers offer major advantages and provide an answer to this problem.
Automatic format changeovers are much faster than performing format changeovers manually and minimise rejection rates caused by adjustment errors. The format changeover can be reproduced perfectly, controlled at the touch of a button and also monitored using a number of parameters. The device’s absolute measuring system (independent of gear backlash, no buffer battery) also makes the positioning extremely accurate.
