Cutting solutions for industrial production

Intelligent automation for industrial packaging production will be at the centre of Swiss cutter manufacturer Zünd's presentation at Fachpack 2022 this year.

There are many ways to optimise production and trim it for efficiency and profitability. To this end, the company offers Versatile automation solutions. They standardise the preparation of print and cutting data, support packaging manufacturers in production monitoring and analysis and simplify the removal of cut parts and logistics.

The fact that intelligently automated production can also be used by SMEs offers great savings potential and eliminates potential sources of error, demonstrates Ignition at its trade fair stand. For example, it will show how the Pick & place interface option The robot can be controlled and finished parts can be removed fully automatically and deposited at predefined locations. The material handling solution Robot PortaTable 130 consists of a mobile storage table and a collaborative robot arm mounted on it. The Robot PortaTable 130 does not need to be fenced in and can be quickly used on another Zünd cutter. A BHS board handling system takes care of automatic sheet feeding. With the automated material transport, unattended processing of larger jobs becomes routine. Just-in-time small batches can also be processed efficiently in this way.

Additional efficiency in parts removal and order logistics is provided by the visualising option, which is also part of the ZCC operating software is (picture).

When it comes to that, Identify optimisation potential in the production workflow, the web-based Zünd Connect monitoring and analysis software records the key performance indicators and availability of the integrated cutters and uses them to calculate the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
