Application of Automatic Carton Packing Machine In China

 Application of Automatic Carton Packing Machine In China

There are more than 3000 carton machine factories in China, with a low concentration. The total market share of the top 50 enterprises is only 10% -15%. The typical characteristic of the carton machine industry is its unevenness. High, middle, and low-end machines have distinct levels and have their own market.

So, the automation of the carton machine is also uneven, we can find high technical and low technical automatic carton machine in market.

There are significant differences in the use of controllers in carton packaging machine. Large corrugated cardboard production lines use field bus technology, and most single machines use PLC or dedicated controllers. Some mid to low end carton machines use relay control, while many small carton machine do not use any electronic controllers.

The HMI of carton packaging machine is mainly based on text displays, usually used in conjunction with PLC or micro controllers to set production process parameters, monitor equipment operation status, and record carton machine production history. A few machines use touch screens.

The use of transmission products in carton packaging machine is mainly to adjust the main process speed and control the periodic changes in motor speed during the production process. For most packaging machine, frequency converters are not a mandatory electrical product. Therefore, overall, the usage rate of frequency converters in this industry is relatively low. However, frequency converters are often heavily used on beer and tobacco packaging production lines.

The application of motion control products in packaging machine mainly relies on position control and strict speed synchronization, with servo products being the main driver. The current level of application is still very low.
