Smart Jaw Technology

Servo Electric
Smart Jaw

By using a non-contact position feedback transducer in addition to a linear pneumatic actuator, there is control of jaw position at any given point in the seal cycle. This control allows machine operators to adjust parameters to compensate for almost any variables.

These jaws and other machine parameters are stored in the PLC according to specific job numbers. Using job storage and retrieval, difficult packaging jobs only need to be optimized once.

The PLC uses high speed logic to provide a controlled open position. The speed advantage of this control is for applications where a small bag must be created quickly. Cycle time for the jaw is minimized because there is less overall travel.

In a snack food application where the horizontal jaw is used to strip the product away from the seal area, the jaw can strip before sealing by stopping the jaw faces at a narrow gap. This results in a machine that has fewer moving parts and a faster cycle.
