Customers of Gerhard Schubert are now able to build a virtual TLM packaging machine based on their own specifications, through a new online configurator service on the Germany-based company's website.
Based on the functions required for a company’s packaging process, the user selects sub-machines – such as those for grouping products, erecting boxes, filling, closing and palletising – via a ‘drag & drop’ function, ending up with a 3D packaging machine presented in the working area online.
Additional views are available, and the virtual machine results can be saved.
“The configurator offers prospective buyers an intuitively operated, web-based service which shows them how Schubert solves their packaging task,” the Crailsheim company says.
“Gerhard Schubert’s TLM technology concept is based on the idea of combining intelligent software with simple machinery,” the company adds.
“This makes packaging machines highly flexible and enables very simple solutions to be worked out. The configurator makes this connection clear.”
All lines are based on seven system components: TLM-F2, TLM-F3 and TLM-F4 robots, the TLM vision system, the TLM Transmodule, the TLM operator guidance system and the TLM machine frame.
The sub-machines and modular complete lines are assembled using this modular system.
