Format and guide-rail adjustment on packaging lines
Leadscrews set guide rails, heads and stops when a packaging line changes to a new bottle or pack size.
- What was needed
- Single Start Leadscrew, Flange Lead Nut
- Requirements
- Quick, repeatable changeover
- Settings stay locked during production
- Industry
- Packaging Machinery
- Result
- Faster format changes with settings that hold.
Problem
Filling, capping, labelling and cartoning lines change format for each product. Guide rails, heads and stops must move to a new position quickly and stay locked during production.
Solution
Single start leadscrews with flange nuts, turned by handwheel or motor, move the adjustment and hold it without clamps, because the screw doesn't back-drive.
Benefits
Why it works
Faster changeovers
Repeatable settings for each format.
Stays where it's set
Self-holding screw.
