INTEgrated stepper motors: a reliable component of evo quick adjust guide rails

Pack Air Inc., a conveyor manufacturer based in Wisconsin, specializes in customized solutions for various types of packaging systems. Their line of EVO Quick Adjust Guide Rails utilizes AMCI stepper motors within the shaft drive of the rails.

Challenge:

Pack Air was seeking an automated solution that would provide a low-cost option for customers, eliminate human error, and accommodate greater linear feet adjustments.

Approach:

The company opted to utilize AMCI stepper motors to move the guide rails on the conveyor, replacing manual hand wheels or air motors when they did not meet the applications specifications or needs.

Solution:

Pack Air chose AMCI’s SMD34E2 Integrated Stepper Motor to be able to offer a fully automated system.

Results:

1. Cost-Effective Solution: AMCI’s SMD34E2 Integrated Stepper Motors deliver an all-in-one, budget friendly option tailored to application needs.
2. Enhanced Productivity: Designed to minimize human error, these motors boost machine productivity with a fully electric solution.
3. Real-Time Position Feedback: Built-in encoders provide accurate and reliable position feedback while machines are in motion.
   
   

“The ease of integration with Rockwell Automation PLCs was a deciding factor in choosing AMCI, along with provided AOI’s and STO functionality.” Rich Koster, Control Engineer at Pack Air Inc.
