摘要:
A monitoring device for condition assessment of a packaging machine for producing packages of liquid food comprises a signal interface (200a) for connection to a plurality of vibration sensors (20) in the packaging machine. The monitoring device includes logic (203-205) to: receive measurement signals (SS1-SSm) from the vibration sensors (20) and obtain an event timing signal, MES, indicative of predefined work events of the packaging machine, wherein the respective work event corresponds to a mechanical action by a respective component in the packaging machine when operating to produce the packages. The monitoring device further includes logic (203-205) to: identify, by use of the MES and in the measurement signals (SS1-SSm), signal values associated with the respective component, and evaluate the signal values for condition assessment of the respective component. The provision and use of the MES thus facilitates condition assessment of individual components in a packaging machine.
摘要:
An apparatus is configured to implement, by a control device, a method for transporting containers (40) in a system for production of packaged food products. The apparatus arranges first items to be suspended from a conveyor (300), and arranges second items on support surfaces of carriers on a transportation track. The first items are capping devices (41) and the second items are containers (40), or vice versa. The apparatus further operates one of a first magnetic arrangement in the transportation track (200) and a second magnetic arrangement in the respective carrier (21) to move the respective carrier (21) on the transportation track (200) into a position beneath the conveyor (300) to align a second item on the respective carrier with a first item suspended by the conveyor), and controls the respective carrier (21) to move the support surface (25) towards the suspended conveyor (300) to engage the second item with the first item.

An apparatus is configured to implement, by a control device, a method for transporting containers (40) in a system for production of packaged food products. The apparatus arranges one or more containers (40) on a support surface (25) of a respective carrier (21) located on a transportation track (200) and operates a first magnetic arrangement in the transportation track (200) or a second magnetic arrangement in the respective carrier (21) to move the respective carrier (21) on the transportation track (200). The apparatus intermittently tilts the support surface (25) to slide the one or more containers (40) along the support surface (25) towards an end of the support surface (25). The tilting may serve to form a condensed group of containers (40) and/or to unload the one or more containers from the carrier (21).
摘要:
There is described a packaging apparatus (1) for forming sealed packages (2) from a tube (3). The packaging apparatus (1) has an endless conveyor device (7) arranged in a conveyor zone (8), conveying carts (9) and operative units (10, 10') moved by the plurality of conveying carts (9) along a path (P, Q). Each operative unit (10, 10') moves between an operative configuration, in which the operative unit (10, 10') manipulates the tube (3) and a rest configuration in which the operative unit (10, 10') is detached from the tube (3). Each operative unit (10, 10') has a half-shell (36) and one of a sealing element (37a) or a counter-sealing element (37b) and each operative unit (10, 10') is carried by one respective conveying cart (9) and extends laterally away therefrom so that the conveyor zone (8) is laterally spaced apart from an operative zone (33) where the tube (3) is manipulated.

The invention relates to a drive system (1) with electromagnetic energy transfer. The system (1) comprises a track (3) comprising a plurality of stators (4), each stator (4) having at least one winding adapted to generate a magnetic field having a fundamental harmonic (8) and at least one further harmonic (9) when fed with an varying current, and a movable element (2) comprising a primary magnetic element (5) adapted to receive said fundamental harmonic (8) to drive said movable element (2) along said track. The system (1) is characterized in that said movable element (2) further comprises a secondary magnetic element (6a-6c) adapted to receive said at least one further harmonic (9) to generate power onboard of said movable element (2). The invention also relates to a linear fractional slot synchronous machine and a rotational synchronous machine.
摘要:
The status of a cutting unit (165a, 165b) in an apparatus for producing packages of liquid food is monitored based on a time sequence of measurement values from a sensor (30), e.g., a pressure transducer, which is arranged to measure cutting resistance for a cutting blade (166a, 166b) in the cutting unit when actuated to perform a cut to sever food-containing packages (106) from each other. The monitoring comprises generating a resistance time profile for the measurement values, detecting at least one predefined feature in the resistance time profile, determining a respective phase value for the predefined feature(s), and determining the status of the cutting unit (165a, 165b) as a function of a set of input values comprising the respective phase value. The status may represent the degree of wear of the cutting blade (166a, 166b).
