Servo Motors for Printing & Packaging - Synchronous Speed, Zero Waste
Printing and packaging lines demand multi-axis synchronization and high-speed cycling. Tiger Motion's AC/DC servo motors deliver consistent registration, cutting, and tension control - reducing scrap and boosting throughput.
Why Servo Motors Are Critical for Printing & Packaging
·Core role: Servo motors drive printing registration, cutting, cross-cutting, unwinding/rewinding and tension control-key to production line speed and consistency.
·Special requirements: multi-axis synchronization, high-speed cycling, stable tension, high repeatability and efficient roll change.
·Type selection: 220V AC servo for registration/cutting; 48V DC servo for tension and compact mechanisms; integrated-reduction servo for unwinding/rewinding; linear motor for cross-cutting/die-cutting.
·Tiger Motion product mapping: 220V AC servo (high-speed synchronized registration/cutting), 48V DC servo (compact tension control), Servo Integrated Gearmotor (Gear Servo Motors) (torque-mode unwinding/rewinding) and linear motors (precision cross-cutting/die-cutting), with multi-axis bus synchronization, meeting the line's high-speed, consistent and low-scrap requirements.
·Core challenge: Maintaining registration accuracy and tension stability under multi-axis high-speed coordination, reducing scrap rate.
How to Choose Servo Motors for Printing & Packaging
·1. Determine the process axes: registration, cutting, tension, unwinding/rewinding - each has a different speed/torque profile.
·2. Synchronization needs: for multi-axis coordination, choose a servo system that supports bus synchronization.
·3. Select the voltage level: main drive uses 220V AC, compact/auxiliary uses 48V DC.
·4. Tension control: for unwinding/rewinding, choose servo or Servo Integrated Gearmotor (Gear Servo Motors) with precise torque-mode control.
·5. Roll-change efficiency: use absolute encoders for zero-homing-free fast positioning.
·6. Environmental adaptation: confirm the protection rating meets the line's dust and cleanliness requirements.
Industry FAQ
Q: Why does printing registration rely on servo?
A: Servo bus synchronization enables nanosecond-level multi-axis coordination, ensuring overprint accuracy and reducing color deviation and scrap.
Q: Which motor is commonly used for tension control?
A: Unwinding/rewinding mostly uses Servo Integrated Gearmotor (Gear Servo Motors) in torque-mode control, with closed-loop feedback to keep tension constant.
Q: Is the linear motor suitable for cross-cutting?
A: Yes. The linear motor has no transmission backlash and positions quickly, making it an ideal choice for high-precision, high-speed cross-cutting/die-cutting.
Q: How many axes of synchronization does Tiger Motion support?
A: The servo system supports multi-axis bus synchronization and can flexibly expand the number of axes according to production line scale.
