Progress and change in machine concepts 1995 – 2010

Looking fifteen years back, those were the characteristics of a typical packaging machine: The favored drive solution was a three-phase current drive, preferrably with frequency converter for speed adjustment. Drives were few, servo drives even fewer. The control usually came as PLC sequence control, and movements were carried out via cam discs, pneumatic actors, or one main shaft. The machines had keys and buttons for a very limited number of functions. If displays were incorporated at all, they could only indicate one line of plain text.
