Efficient thermoforming operation with an easy-to-use HMI

Multivac’s R 235 thermoforming packaging machine is specially tailored to produce flat packs of sliced products. The machine is powered by a Beckhoff control platform­­––bringing together EtherCAT technology for the controller, servos and I/O. One operator terminal houses the HMI, which uses custom Java on top of the Beckhoff controller.
