Thenewmodular technologyused in the
main conveyor deliversoneother benefit:
theflexiblegrippingsystem reduces
the costsof themoulds comparedwith
systemswhere thegripping technology is
part of themould itself.
Ready in justfivemonths
Thanks to its compact design, thevalve
terminal CPX/MPA canbeused toquickly
and cost effectively retrofit existing
systems for proportional technology. If
nothingelse, the considerable reduction
in the cabling requiredalso increases
reliabilityof assemblyand
commissioning. Theaddedsimplicityof
designandhandlingwasamajor factor in
thesignificantlyshorter development and
design timeatMaschinenfabrikHerbert
Meyer. Close cooperationwith theFesto
engineers right from thestart further
accelerated theproject. Theend result is
anexceptional thermoformingsystem for
car floor coverings,whichhasgone from
development to commissioning in just
fivemonths.
