The Baumüller Group is automation partner for the packaging industry. Baumüller accompanies the machine manufacturer through the complete life cycle of the machine, starting with the planning via engineering of hardware and software up to the commissioning and subsequent service.
 
      Baumüller offers complete drive systems, from IPC and HMI via converter and controller to dynamic servomotors all from a single source.
 
      Completely wired control cabinets are a part of the performance spectrum for the packaging industry just like sophisticated service concepts.
 
      The product formats change in rapid succession in the packaging industry. The short change intervals and the start-stop operation impose extreme require-ments on the machines and their drives for this task. 

      Highest dynamics and power density characterise the new DSD motor series from Baumüller. The DSD series features perfect acceleration characteristics. Its improved power density and increased overload capacity make the DSD series to the perfect motor for packaging machines. Even in extremely fast start-stop operations, the water cooled versions of converters and motors will not start to sweat.
      As the partner of the packaging industry, Baumüller supplies not only motors, but also controls, controllers and technology modules, such as cam disk or synchronous operation function, that ensure an exactly reproducible production at high clock-pulse rates.

      Future oriented fully electrical packaging machines must meet the constantly growing demands of flexibility and functionality.
 
      Dynamics and flexibility coupled with improved user-friendliness are the general framework for the automation system.
  

      As the partner of the packaging industry, Baumüller offers intelligent automation solutions.
 
      The motion control concept based on the PLCopen standard moves the user’s manu-facturing process and the machine functionality to the foreground.
 
      This concept allows the machine manufacturer to concentrate on machine specific future oriented technologies and continuous development of its machine functionalities in programming. The motion functionality is designed only from a techno-logical perspective according to the PLCopen motion control standard with libraries function module.
      The programming languages use the IEC 61131 as standard. The system functionalities for motion and drive management as well as fieldbus communication are already integrated in the operating environment of the Baumüller b maXX converter and controller generation by means of the communication or motion manager.
