They thus guarantee a greater energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint. The vacuum generators OVEM from Festo also contribute to greater efficiency as they integrate an air-saving and monitoring function for the complete vacuum system in order to reduce downtimes (condition monitoring). The vacuum grippers for ejecting the finished blister packs are part of a handling system equipped with electric axes ECC and ELGC from Festo. The magazines for the packaging materials are easily accessible and can be refilled quickly during operation. Here, too, the stepper motors EMMS-ST from Festo provide support as the magazine in the gripping and loading area is moved towards the machine operator for filling. This improves ergonomics and relieves the strain on machine operators. International cooperation in Thailand “A large part of the CABLIblue 870 was developed and assembled in our factory in Thailand. What was impressive about the cooperation with Festo was the uncomplicated procurement of the necessary parts,” explains Wolfgang Konrad, Vice President Marketing & Communication at IWK. “The digital engineering tools were just as readily available for use for our in Thailand as they were in Germany and contact with the Festo project engineers in Thailand went smoothly,” says Konrad. Even if a Festo component was not immediately available in Thailand, all it took was a phone call and the component was ready for delivery in Thailand in no time. Konrad compares the cooperation with Festo with the relationship with IWK customers, the major brand manufacturers: “Brand manufacturers involve us early on in the development of packaging ideas so that we can work together on designing machine-compatible packaging. Such a basis of trust also characterizes our relationship with our development partner Festo.” A handling system with electric axes EGC and ELCC ensures the finished blister packs are reliably transported.
