Innovation
Generation III packaging machines
equipped with Rexroth controls thrust
technology into the future with a host
of new features that increase the ease of
operation, flexibility, and throughput.
These incredible new designs eliminate
the need for homing through the use of
absolute feedbacks, while electronic line
shafts make mechanical line shafts and
cams obsolete and allow for machine
changeover at the touch of a button.
SERCOS practically eliminates 80%
of the controls wires and provides
unmatched machine diagnostics.
Expertise
Since 1958, Rexroth has been providing
machinery with innovative control
solutions that increase throughput.
We have the background in packaging
technology to not only give you the
technology you need to respond
to todays challenges, but the experience
to anticipate tomorrows challenges
as well.
Scalability
Choose the solution that will best fit
your needs. All Rexroth components
are designed with an open architecture,
so that they will easily integrate into
whatever existing system you have. You
can also start from scratch and design
custom configurations that will most
effectively address your needs.
Global presence
Rexroth is the global leader
in providing control technology and
is used by packaging machine
manufacturers around the world. No
matter where you are, we will be there
too, with expert support that you can
rely on to help you keep your packaging

Rexroth has a reputation for being at the forefront of
technological innovation, enabling the progression of
packaging machines from the past into the present,
and ensuring their future advancement.
Leading the evolution of packaging machines
Rexroth has provided major breakthroughs that
have enabled the latest machine designs. From digital
intelligent servo drives with SERCOS fiber optic
interfaces to multi-axes electronic motion controls,
our earliest innovations led to the development of
Generation II packaging machines.
In the mid-1990s, Rexroth introduced Electronic Line
Shafting (ELS), PC-based architectures and the ability
to control up to 40 axes on a single controller. These
innovations were the inspiration that OEMs needed
to develop todays Generation III packaging machines.
Today, Rexroth continues to develop leading-edge
technology for tomorrows Generation IV designs.

electronically geared servo drives.
When changing carton size, you can configure
new geared positions for each servo drive
at a push of the button.

Synchronizing the filler and seamer/capper
Fillers, seamers and cappers are high throughput
machines with large inertial loads. The motor,
gearbox and line shaft connecting them are
maintenance intensive.
Can seamers in high volume plants require
rebuilds as often as every 3 years. Electronic
Line Shafting (ELS) can double or triple the
service lifepaying for itself in the first year
of operation through reductions in spares and
mechanical maintenance.
With Rexroth servo performance,
mechanical packaging line bottlenecks are
readily overcome. You can achieve a better
balance between machine speeds, and you
can increase line throughputs without
jamming or registration problems.
Perfect synchronization between filler
and seamer eliminates all mechanical
linkages and associated maintenance

Fast, jam-free operation for

To manage costs, form, fill and seal machines
must adapt to changing material characteristics
without generating scrap.
Rexroths controllability accommodates
different wall thicknesses, surface finishes
and resistance to sealing.
Rexroth servo drives can also be more
economical than mechanical components.
Adding two servo axes with electronic gearing
on a film advance can cost less than a single
servo driving a dual output gearbox.
Precision equals speed in
continuous motion cartoners
Thanks to multi-axis digital motion control,
cartoners are using 10, 15 and even 25 servo
drives to increase speed and functionality.

Maintaining registration as horizontal form, fill

To achieve higher speeds, flow wrappers must
tightly synchronize product and foil feeds, cutting
knives and fin sealers. They must also maintain
precise registration control.
High speed wrapping requires precise spacing
between products on the infeed chain. Electronic
gearing synchronizes a series of belts running at
different speeds in relation to each other and the
flow wrapper.

Adding performance to case packers
With our economical ECODRIVE and our
100 to750 watt ECODRIVE Cs, it now becomes
cost-effective to automate lower cost machines.
High resolution cam tables let case packers
achieve more accurate case erection and
alignment of unstable packages and cases.
High resolution feedback lets you repeatedly
reach stop positions.
For case packing robots, Rexroth can
