MOTION CONTROL FOR CONVERTING @ Siemens
From potato chip bags to video tape, converting a flexible material into a sellable product is a complex process that often requires special machines built to unique specifications. While there are common mechanical and control designs for each application, attaining custom machinery at attractive margins becomes increasingly difficult.

At Siemens, our industry specialists combine application, motion and automation knowledge to provide a complete solution to our customers that is cost-effective, yet still provides accelerated deliveries and performs to expectations. What’s more, because Siemens automation programming tools are open, machine builders can take full advantage of the integrated diagnostics, maintenance and service functions unique to Totally Integrated Automation.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN CONVERTING:
Manufacturers must push machine performance and production efficiency to produce more advanced designs. In addition, eco-friendly and biodegradable “green” materials are putting higher demands on motion control capabilities to ensure product quality. Siemens motion control solutions for converting meet these challenges by reducing stoppage and waste, increasing speed, ensuring quality and managing set-up times.
