Sustainability starts with engineering. The cooperation between machine manufacturer Kr\u00f6ning and drive specialist LinMot shows what this approach can look like in a specific application.<\/strong><\/p>

The appearance and sustainability of a product are increasingly playing the role of a decisive purchasing impulse. Consumers are increasingly moving away from the \u201etake, make, throw away\u201c mindset and are turning to products that are sustainable in accordance with the new Directives 2005\/29\/EC and 2011\/83\/EU of the Consumer Protection Regulation and favour those manufacturers that can demonstrate ecologically, economically and socially sustainable production environments. However, many decision-makers are also aware of the growing importance of environmentally friendly product design.<\/strong> According to a DS Smith survey, the majority of company representatives consider packaging to be an important area of investment (51 per cent). When asked whether investment in packaging would help efforts in the area of sustainability, as many as 80 per cent of respondents answered in the affirmative.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Stefano Rossi, CEO of DS Smith Packaging: \u201eConsumers want less packaging. As raw materials are more expensive than ever and the environmental benefits are significant, customised packaging (...) is more important than ever.\u201c The packaging industry's machine technology must also do justice to this advance in individualised product diversity and the upheavals in industrial policy.<\/strong> This could well be the credo of special machine manufacturer Kr\u00f6ning, whose automation systems combine the latest scientific findings from the Fraunhofer Institute and the Technical University of Dresden with linear drive solutions from LinMot.<\/p>

\u201eAt the beginning of our collaboration with LinMot, the P01 short motors particularly appealed to us,\u201c says Christian W\u00f6lle, Head of Design at Kr\u00f6ning. He particularly emphasises the practical flange design of these short drives. However, this not only benefits special packaging lines. Whether for handling, filling, inspection, feeding, assembly, stacking, sorting or rejection systems, the freely positionable cable outlet of the P01 series and the compact and robust design of the entire LinMot drive range offer a wide range of applications. optimised design of a sustainable machine concept with a small footprint and reduced dead space in every industrial field.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The space-saving and dynamic properties of the ironless synchronous servomotors and their guide units were also decisive for a new development from the Saxon special machine manufacturer. The \u201eKKA\u201c carton erector from Kr\u00f6ning replaces an outdated system with various cam discs and mechanical connections with the compactness of a central rotary drum cam table. This means that the KKA, with an output of up to 95 cartons per minute, its compact dimensions (1.7 x 1.1 x 1.9 m) and the low weight of 1600 kilos for the basic machine, combine the speed of a large system with the footprint of a mobile solution<\/strong>. The newly developed LinMot linear modules with their modular principle also played a decisive role in this: \u201eAt the beginning of 2019, we were only working with the motors and we were still building the guides ourselves. That's why we were really looking forward to the new DM01 line, which gave us a lot of freedom in terms of modularity during the development of the carton erector,\u201c says W\u00f6lle about the design adaptability of the LinMot linear guides, which perform two technically demanding work cycles of the system<\/strong>.<\/p>
