series of packaging equipment, the
compact, low-cost unit can accommodate
up to 100 containers per min.
The CDFI Canister Feeder accurately
dispenses single or multiple canister
drops with a simple selector switch.
It features a simple set-up, and accepts
canisters from all major manufacturers.
Among the CDFI Canister
Feeder's key attributes are its ease of
use and versatility: the unit does not
require bottle-change parts and, with
the appropriate tooling, can accommodate
various-sized canisters from
1, 2 and 3 g. Changeover takes less
than 5 min, and the machine can be
supplied with a 5-gal canister reservoir
or 10-gal hopper with elevator.

Blister machine handles a wide
range of forming materials
The EAGLE-Omni blister machine
(photo) is suitable for packaging development,
materials
testing and
production. The unit performs forming,
sealing and punching operations
at sequential stations. The cost-effective,
deep-draw EAGLE-Omni is
capable of everything from manual
prototyping to fully automated operation.
The machine handles a wide
range of forming materials, including
PVC, PVDC, ACLAR, PP, PET and
ALU - and all typical lidding substrates
including ALU, paper, PVC,
PET and laminates. The EAGLEOmni
can produce up to 20 blisters
per min, and is suitable for packaging
solids, powders, liquids or devices.-

New motion-control portfolio
delivers fl exibility and more
The PACMotion servo motion-control
portfolio (photo) offers an integrated
automation solution for high-performance
industrial applications. The
portfolio includes a new motion controller
that connects directly into the
PACSystems RX3i programmable
logic-controller backplane for highspeed,
high-precision performance
with synchronized motion for up to
40 coordinated axes, enabling end
users to scale up their motion systems
without sacrificing performance.
The complete PACMotion portfolio
includes a motion controller, servo
motors, servo drives and motion-configuration
software for applications in
packaging, printing, material handling,
semiconductors, food and beverage,
and general manufacturing. The patented
technology enables precise,
jerk-free positioning, preventing material
slippage and production losses
and improving machine efficiency. -

New double rotary tablet-press
technology to be launched
Available this fall, the XT 600 HD Double
Rotary Tablet Press (photo) combines
key facets of the company's
proven technology in a cost-effective
platform for technical and chemical
products with large formats, deeper
filling depths and higher compression
forces. It offers high-speed production
capabilities for both single-layer and
bi-layer tablets. Among other applications,
the XT 600 HD has proven extremely
effective in the production of
salt tablets, catalysts, detergents and
fertilizer tablets. The high-capacity
feeding system and robust compression
column design deliver unparalleled
tablet
quality
and production
output. Both the pre-compression
and main-compression columns can
deliver 120 kN of compression force
- sufficient even for the most difficultto-compress
products. - Korsch
America Inc., South Easton, Mass.

Augmented reality enters this
packaging platform
This company is extending its platform
capabilities to support augmented reality
(AR) on its Rockwell Automationenabled
packaging solutions. The
company has entered beta-phase
testing and is targeting commercial
availability for its AR option this year
(photo). AR represents a leap forward
for staff knowledge transfer - employing
digital visual overlays through
a combination of both handheld and
hands-free devices. It supersedes traditional
approaches to operator training
and maintenance of industrial assets.
AR presents a powerful solution
for producers seeking to alleviate the
well-known upskilling issues associated
with high labor turnover, productivity
and error-proofing. - HarpakULMA,
