Electric screw actuators improve bagging system
By Tolmatic
Thiele Technologies, a maker of packaging equipment, installed four custom electric screw linear actuators on its filling and sealing operation to precisely position incoming empty bags. The bagging system now automatically compensates for variations in bag dimensions and eliminates manual setup when changing bag sizes.Click here to read full article...

Nestle Purina plant reduces downtime by saving configurations
By MDT Software
Before MDT AutoSave was installed at the Nestlé Purina plant in Mechanicsburg, PA, the plant used a “home grown” program to track changes in their programmable devices. AutoSave ensures that, if a device fails or a program results in undesired performance, a prior version of the program is readily available. Read entire article.

Intelligent Programmable Drives Become a Control for the Entire Machine
Mechatronic solutions and modular machine concepts become more and more important for machine manufacturers. Mechatronics has proven to simplify machine construction with servo drives and intelligent Motion Control software. With the right control architecture, machine building becomes extremely efficient and allows the development of very flexible machines with a high degree of quality and throughput.

DL205 Performs in Theatrics
By T.J. Johns
The University of Arizona School of Theater Arts uses motors, computers and Automation Direct’s DL205 I/O to change scenes rapidly. The set has six hydraulic lifts, a rising "throne wall," seven telescoping metal trees and two steel doors hanging from the ceiling, all of which move independently to various positions.
