Media valves in use
Precise dispensing
Italian manufacturer of packaging
machines, CO.PACK srl, also relies on
motion and fluid control solutions
from Festo. Its latest machine fills
glass bottles with nail polish or micro-
spheres. A key innovation is the ability
to dispense microspheres with great
precision using media valves VZQA and
a new technology launched on the
market by CO.PACK.
In parallel with fluid control, motion
control ensures that all production steps
are executed perfectly. At the heart of
this system is the rotary indexing table
DHTG-140 with 12 stations. All machine
units are moved by the pneumatic slides
DGSL-25 and DGSL-16. The screwing
unit for sealing the bottles consists of
the electric rotary module ERBM, the
three-point gripper HGDT as well as the
slide DGSL and is pre-assembled by
Festo Italy. The motion and fluid control
solution supplied by Festo has greatly
simplified the engineering and procure-
ment processes at CO.PACK.
