Contactless foil and packaging handling
Contactless handling of films and packaging
In the handling of films and packaging, it is particularly important not to damage the surfaces of the corresponding substrates. Due to more and more sophisticated films as well as packaging of products, more and more intelligent handling systems are required, which not only work with a very low error rate, but can also guarantee a high production speed. The non-contact ultrasonic technology of ZS-Handling is optimally applicable for the handling of foils and packaging.
The drive for greater effectiveness and efficiency
Due to the increasing demands on modern production in terms of effectiveness and efficiency, the question of proper as well as up-to-date handling systems arises for many companies. This is not only the case for handling small parts such as chips or wafers, but also for films or packaging. It becomes particularly interesting when films or packaging must not be damaged or contaminated during handling. This is often the case with medical products. The same applies to battery foils, which must not be damaged under any circumstances.
In such cases, the non-contact ultrasonic handling of ZS-Handling GmbH can come up with an advantage. The non-contact handling of substrates not only significantly reduces the rate of possible damage, but also eliminates contamination by particles due to the absence of contact points. The patented technology of the ultrasonic bearing enables repulsive forces between the handling surface and the substrate, so that packaging materials as well as films can be guided quickly and without contact along a production line.
The advantages of our products in detail
With the help of the LinearLevi-Conveyor, substrates such as battery cells, films as well as other packaging can be conveyed along defined paths. This handling system serves as an ideal link between an upstream and a downstream stage of the process without touching the substrate.If handling of films and packaging from above is relevant for your further process steps, this is possible with the LinearOverhead-Transport. Through the dual use of vacuum and ultrasound, films or packaging are simultaneously attracted and kept at a distance, so that there is no contact with the substrates. However, absolute prevention of contamination can no longer be guaranteed by maintaining negative pressure in this case.
Another possibility for handling films and packaging is the Levi-Roll transport system. This roll-like sonotrode ensures that the substrates are kept at a distance and that there is no contact. Several rolls can be combined so that roll-to-roll transport can take place. It is also interesting to note that it makes no difference whether the packaging is sticky, coated or conventional film. In all cases, there is no contact between the handling system and the material, so that fast and safe transport can be guaranteed.
