At present, the countries with high level of global packaging and food machinery mainly include the United States, Germany, Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom. The German packaging machinery is in the position of design, manufacturing and technical performance. In 2002, the output value of packaging machinery in Germany reached 3.4 billion euros, 77% of which was exported. In recent years, the development of packaging and food machinery equipment in these countries presents a new trend.The degree of process automation is higher and higher.
At present, automation technology has accounted for more than 50% of the packaging production line, and a large number of computer design and mechatronics control are used. The purpose is to improve productivity, improve the flexibility of equipment, and increase the manipulator to complete complex packaging actions (simulation of manual packaging). Each manipulator is controlled by a separate computer. The camera monitors the packaging action and feeds back the information to the computer to adjust the action range and ensure the high quality of packaging. It has the function of automatic identification of packaging material and thickness, and then controls the mechanical action after the computer calculation. It is a "self adaptive" system, which ensures the system works in an optimal state. Improve production efficiency, reduce process cost and meet production requirements to a large extent.
At present, the beer beverage filling equipment in Germany has reached 12000 bottles / hour, and the cigarette packing machine has reached 12000 bottles / minute. Once the high speed equipment breaks down, the loss is also amazing, so the high speed equipment must have a fault analysis system (self diagnosis system) and be able to eliminate the fault by itself, so that the productivity can be improved.
