Horizontal form, fill, and seal (HFFS) machines are the ideal solution for the automated packaging of individual goods. Thanks to the compact, cost-effective automation solution from SEW‑EURODRIVE, manufacturers can handle different products and bag sizes efficiently and precisely.

For a compact horizontal form, fill, and seal machine with two interpolating servo axes, look no further than StarterSET 512 as a basic package. For up to five interpolating servo drives, StarterSET 514 is the appropriate basic package. Regardless of the controller performance required, both variants include MOVIKIT® Bundle FormFillSeal, with an extensive library of machine-typical functions.

Perfectly coordinated, with a great deal of scope for customized programming and high degrees of freedom, the StarterSET is the ideal introduction to SEW‑EURODRIVE's world of automation.

MOVIKIT® Bundle FormFillSeal (FFS)

The license bundle for form, fill, and seal machines (FFS) consists of software licenses for the application-specific implementation of typical horizontal or vertical form, fill, and seal machines. It includes the MOVIKIT® AutomationFramework programming template, web visualization, OPC UA data server, electronic cams, fieldbus master support, and other machine-typical functions (winding, cutting, and sealing).

Stable temperature regulation is crucial to the quality of the seal on the bags, while the material and the speed of the packaging machine have a direct impact on control. The software modules in MOVIKIT® AutomationFramework provide a high-precision means of adjusting and monitoring such control processes, even when there are major disturbance variables. In combination with the MOVIKIT® MultiMotion Camming software module, the film print image can be perfectly synchronized with sealing. What's more, the software modules contained in the StarterSET support quick and easy automation of these processes.

Vertical form, fill, and seal (VFFS) machines are ideal for filling bulk materials. Bag size, pack weight, and product properties are decisive factors for the automation of machine functions and motions. The function libraries contained in our StarterSET offer specially developed print mark correction functions for precisely monitoring the print image of the film to be processed.

For a compact vertical form, fill, and seal machine with up to five interpolating servo axes, StarterSET 524 is an ideal basic package. Regardless of how many axes are to be driven and the machine's ultimate level of performance, our modular StarterSET always offers the appropriate basic configuration for a complete solution.

MOVIKIT® Bundle FormFillSeal (FFS)

The license bundle for form, fill, and seal machines (FFS) consists of software licenses for the application-specific implementation of typical horizontal or vertical form, fill, and seal machines. It includes the MOVIKIT® AutomationFramework programming template, web visualization, OPC UA data server, electronic cams, fieldbus master support, and other machine-typical functions (winding, cutting, and sealing).

The MOVIKIT® MultiMotion Camming software module contained in the StarterSET ensures real-time synchronization of curve-based motions such as volumetric filling using a worm. This enables simple parameterization of the filling variants and simultaneous clock-synchronous control of the relevant actuators.

An erector automatically picks up the flat cardboard, folds it into the correct shape, glues it, and then erects it so that it is ready to be filled and sealed. Erectors typically use suction cups or gripping arms to handle and position the cardboard. Once they have been erected, the cartons are generally transported to the next station, where they are filled and sealed.

For compact erectors with two interpolating servo axes, look no further than StarterSET 542 as a basic package. For up to five interpolating servo drives, StarterSET 544 is the appropriate basic package. Regardless of how many axes are to be driven and the machine's ultimate level of performance, our modular StarterSET always offers the appropriate basic configuration for a complete solution.

MOVIKIT® Bundle CasePacker (CP-SL)

The license bundle for curve-based erectors and multipackers (CP-SL), for the application-specific implementation of typical carton erectors and multipackers in the sideloader design. It comprises a MOVIKIT® AutomationFramework programming template, web visualization, OPC UA data server, electronic cams, and machine-typical functions (cutting, gluing, and cam control).

Our software modules are perfectly coordinated with the carton erector machine module. With MOVIKIT® MultiMotion Camming, these software modules offer ideal functions. In particular, the integrated electronic cams and associated synchronizing and desynchronizing functions ensure the cardboard blank can be quickly and precisely extracted by suction and moved in sync with the erector punch.

A gantry robot typically handles and moves loads very precisely. Its primary function is to shift, sort, and stack materials or objects inside a defined working envelope. Gantry robots are often used in industrial environments, where their strength and precision make them ideal for performing complex tasks – such as palletizing, order picking, and shifting goods – efficiently. In these environments, our MOVIKIT® Robotics software modules offer the perfect solution for every kinematic model imaginable, including front end for direct use.

Our End-of-Line StarterSET always provides the ideal solution for this application. StarterSET 564 is the perfect choice for gantry robots with a kinematic model including up to six axes.

MOVIKIT® Bundle EndOfLine (EoL)

Our license bundle for palletizers and XY gantry robots (EoL), for the application-specific implementation of typical palletizers and gantries with 2D kinematic model. It includes the MOVIKIT® AutomationFramework programming template, web visualization, OPC UA data server, electronic cams, 2D robot kinematic model, and machine-typical functions (gantry and winding).

Together, MOVIKIT® AutomationFramework and MOVIKIT® Visualization offer optional simulation possibilities for process optimization and layer control purposes. This enables you to thoroughly test all functions and the grouping capacity as early as during the planning phase. Later on, this ensures layers are precisely positioned and ideally grouped in the actual machine ready for removal.

Slicers are used for efficient portioning processes with precise and consistent cutting quality. These machines ensure high levels of portioning efficiency and always deliver exact cutting results. The products are fed into the machine and processed automatically, while precise drives and special cutters ensure a perfect slicing and portioning result.

For compact slicers with two interpolating servo axes, look no further than StarterSET 532 as a basic package. For up to five interpolating servo drives, StarterSET 534 is the appropriate basic package.

MOVIKIT® Bundle FormFillSeal (FFS)

The license bundle for form, fill, and seal machines (FFS) consists of software licenses for the application-specific implementation of typical horizontal or vertical form, fill, and seal machines.

It includes the MOVIKIT® AutomationFramework programming template, web visualization, OPC UA data server, electronic cams, fieldbus master support, and other machine-typical functions (winding, cutting, and sealing).

The MOVIKIT® RotaryKnife software module makes it possible to implement electronic cam applications with a rotary knife function and a clearly defined fieldbus interface. In addition to the "Automatic" operating mode, the module offers all the basic operating modes that are familiar from the MOVIKIT® Positioning software module (jog mode, velocity control, positioning mode, referencing mode).

With the MOVIKIT® RotaryKnife software module, the inverter is operated interpolated in all modes.
