Delta ModTech: Packaging with Precision with Yaskawa Motion Control
Delta Mod Tech, an innovator in packaging machinery turns to Yaskawa for accurate, reliable motion control. The web converting and packaging machines made by Delta ModTech have a unique modular design that meets the demands of many technologically advanced industries, including medical, pharmaceutical, CPG, cosmetic, security, and RFID. Yaskawa servos and motion control systems deliver the precise and adjustable registration needed with printed material, plus the advantages of easy system setup and long-term reliability.

00:00:02 throughout time the world has advanced because of innovators men and women who've taken risks searched for better ways and improved Our Lives more than 30 years ago one man wanted to produce manufacturing Solutions no one else had been able to achieve the innovator's name Dave Skout in
00:00:26 1978 he was the first to apply emerging Servo Technologies to create better converting machines Dave founded Delta modtech in Suburban Minneapolis dedicated to solving complex motion control automation challenges we walk in confident that no matter what their needs or what their problems we're able to put together a solution that'll meet that need with a staff of 90 people
00:00:52 designing building and supporting its machines Delta modtech is committed to strong relationships with its customers with 1,300 installed web converting and packaging machines proudly built in the USA Delta modtech has earned its reputation as Masters in motion eliminating risk is the basis behind Delta modtech we take proven Solutions and modules and we combine them with a
00:01:19 fully Servo driven system from isawa and that combination together has proven to be a good investment for our customers one of Delta Mod's most remarkable Innovations is their web converting machines driven entirely with Servo Motors Delta Engineers knew that no ordinary Servo Motors would do it requir the most advanced servos and drives delivering the tightest possible
00:01:43 tolerances and highest levels of reliability we conducted a benchtop test with all the top Servo Brands the conclusion of that test was that the medium inertia high torque motor from yala came out on top and we've been with yasawa ever since yasawa high performance drives and motors eliminate gear reduction improve low-end tension control and tightly synchronize
00:02:06 registration marks to the motion adjustments the controller also tightly synchronizes the motion to the sequence control with yes's tuning features they've actually given us the ability to run the really high inertia loads and on some of our tougher applications we've been able to achieve tolerances as great as 20 microns on our web registration how does Delta achieve this by using a
00:02:33 motion Centric solution instead of a common PLC solution we are able to take on challenging applications because of the esawa Machine controller that really is optimized for motion unlike a generic PLC it's not uncommon for Delta to build a piece of equipment with 25 AIS of motion using a single yasawa controller the Delta modtech yasawa partnership makes ease of use and flexibility
00:02:57 possible for complex manufacturing challenges is especially for vertical markets such as the pharmaceutical industry and custom converters modular design makes each modtech machine adaptable to a wide variety of customer needs including a range of converting options and many packaging capabilities get any capability in a
00:03:22 standalone machine or a quick change component thanks to the modular nature of the Delta design for precision validation of each process Beyond Simple visual inspection Delta's Optical comparator further proves the capability of each machine and to optimize mechanical designs Delta Engineers take the extra step of conducting finite element
00:03:47 analysis on all machine designs as a result Delta and yasawa are able to attain remarkable overall equipment Effectiveness or OE with thousands of servos in the field we see a very low failure rate they basically just keep running Delta puts special emphasis on customer confidentiality stringent rules are followed to ensure the protection of
00:04:10 each customer's intellectual property Delta modtech also assists by providing demonstration machines housed in facilities that match the customer's production environment this minimizes risk ensures manufacturability and reduces a customer's time to Market Del Delta's Advanced converting instruction helps customers learn how to optimize their machines Delta has
00:04:36 extensive training and support this allows our customers an increased amount of uptime with yasawa controllers at the heart of their machines Delta can offer remote access troubleshooting between machines at customers facilities and Delta's secure internal service network we have a long-standing relationship with Y skawa their culture of service and a robust product has allowed us to
00:04:58 provide the highest quality systems ofil available that partnership will help us to be able to continue to innovate new solutions for our customers Delta modtech and yasawa consistent confident and capable of more
