Film bag machines – drive solutions for efficient and flexible packaging processes
Baumüller's drive concepts are the optimal solution for increasing the efficiency and flexibility of modern film bag machines. Particularly compact and powerful motor and servo drive solutions enable high cycle rates, precise motion sequences, and a modular machine design for different bag variants.
Topology
Application example of modular machine design and cycle time reduction:
"A system was needed that was both flexible and future-proof for the wide variety of bag types – from loop carrier bags and shirt carrier bags to garbage bags and bread bags. The modular architecture and use concept of the new machine solution enable short commissioning times, high variant diversity, and increased cycle rates. The drive and control technology used impresses with its slim structure and efficient system integration.”

Film bag machine
Baumüller engineering specialists have designed a foil bag machine for Lemo, which allows maximum flexibility and fast commissioning.
Variant handling and modularity
- Modular machine design enables flexible adaptation to different bag types
- Configure only the modules you need – reduces costs and increases efficiency
- Easy expandability for future product types and requirements
Highest productivity
- Machine throughput increased to 125 m/min or 450 cycles
- Plausibility check: 3-dimensional limit value determination based on heat-sealing time, feed rate, and cycle rate
- Online calculated sealing bar movement
- Temperature model for sealing bars and contoured/pre-sealing
Highly efficient and precise drive technology & intelligent system architecture
- Consistent fieldbus system and minimized number of devices reduce complexity
- Modern, streamlined drive and control structure facilitates diagnostics and maintenance
- Future-proof communication architecture supports digital services and enhancements
Technology modules
- Creation of a basic software structure for modern modular machines with a future-proof communication structure
- Integration of application-specific technology modules, including for register and dancer control
- Machine builders’ programming work is reduced to a minimum
Servo drives and motors
- Use of the side-by-side b maXX 5000 converters for maximum compactness in the control cabinet
- High power density and dynamics of synchronous servo motors for dynamic control and precise movements
