Reducing Total Cost Of Ownership

By switching from a PLC-based controls architecture to a functionally integrated controller, Talon builds a simpler machine that costs less to build and to maintain.

The introduction of a Power Panel PP220 controller from B&R (www.br-automation) has enabled Talon Manufacturing
(www.talonmfg.com
) to build a horizontal form/fill/seal pouch-packaging machine with fewer components than were used in the past. Why? Because the controller combines motion control, machine logic, and HMI functionality in a single integrated unit. This not only lets Talon keep costs down but also yields additional cost savings throughout the machine’s useful life, because a simpler machine is easier and less costly to maintain.

The Talon pouching machine is used primarily by manufacturers of microwavable popcorn. It feeds flexible film through a series of folding devices and eight seal bars that make the seals that form the bags. Rated speed is about 100 bags/min.

Since the flexible packaging material is often decorated, keeping the film in register is essential. This requires tremendous accuracy in film movement, accuracy that is provided by a B&R Acopos servo drive.
