Drive solutions for thermoforming machines

Baumüller offers a complete automation solution for fast and high-precision thermoforming machines. From dynamic, water-cooled servo motors to reduced heat input to the machine to control using pre-assembled motion modules, e.g. for temperature regulation, Baumüller offers the full system of hardware and software. Here, also, the compact and flexible modular system b maXX 5300 offers many advantages.

Benefits of the electric drives and automation

Automation & technology functions

  • Exact and dynamic temperature control of the heating elements helps to save energy
  • Cam disk technology, e.g. in the lift drive, avoids erratic movements, and ensures optimized movement sequences
  • Optional: touch probe for fast reading of synchronization markings, and therefore for exact cutting to size of material

Motors

  • Extremely robust motors for high shock and vibration loads in swivel, lift or advancer drives, among other things due to special bearing and casting technology
  • Motors with excellent acceleration properties for high cycle rates

Servo drives

Clever drive topology by using the DC link system:

  • Storage of energy in the DC link or in additional capacities to provide energy again when it is needed t higher energy efficiency with lower energy costs
  • The electrical drive output can therefore be dimensioned to be smaller and more economical if necessary
  • Due to the energy stored in the DC link, controlled shutdown of the system in the event of faults is possible, e.g. in case of power outages
  • Compact modular system saves space in the control cabinet

Efficiency in Detail

Sustainability from the start When it comes to efficiency in thermoforming machines, there are numerous ways to reduce energy consumption and increase the overall efficiency of the line. As an examp…
