The System Packaging Model 9000
It is a high-performance Horizontal Double Web (HDW) solution designed for versatile, high-speed automated packaging. Engineered to handle products of varying dimensions with precision, the Model 9000 streamlines production flow through advanced sensing technology and intuitive operator controls.
Intelligent Auto-Sizing Technology
The Model 9000 eliminates the need for constant manual recalibration. It utilizes a sophisticated dual-sensor architecture to ensure every package is a perfect fit:
-
Length Detection: A photoelectric sensor works in tandem with a digital counter/encoder system to detect leading and trailing edges, accurately measuring the material required for each product.
-
Automatic Height Sensing: Equipped with an optional ultrasonic sensor, the machine detects product height in real-time, automatically adjusting Gap and Shear Presets to accommodate random product sizes without operator intervention.
Advanced Counter & Preset Logic
To maintain a high-speed production cadence, the Model 9000 employs a dual-counter system (Counter 1 and Counter 2). These counters alternate duties, measuring the length of one product while the previous one is being processed.
-
Shear Preset: Ensures the product is perfectly centered within the package by controlling the shear point relative to the trailing edge.
-
Gap Preset: Manages the precise distance between consecutive products, optimizing material usage and preventing overlaps.
Precision Control & Operational Modes
The centralized control panel offers total command over the packaging environment, allowing for quick adjustments to package size and production flow:
-
Flexible Cycling: Toggle between Single Cycle (one package per trigger) and Continuous Cycle (repeated cycling with a customizable Auto Cycle Delay).
-
Integrated Power Management: Features a fused disconnect switch for source power and a combination push switch/power light for immediate status monitoring.
-
Smart Stop Logic: The Stop Cycle function allows the machine to finish its current package before halting, ensuring no material is wasted and the machine is ready for a clean restart.
Safety & Reliability
Safety is integrated into the core mechanics of the Model 9000.
-
Emergency Stop (E-STOP): Instantly interrupts power to the control panel and motor.
-
Recovery Efficiency: In the event of an E-Stop, the system allows for manual advancement of products past the shear point, with the system regaining uniform package sizing within just one cycle.
