Application Spotlight: Box Maker Contains Machine Vibration

The world's largest corrugated box folding/gluing machine relies on Yaskawa servo systems to stay precise and productive. The J&L folder/gluer is 17 feet wide and longer than a football field, which means vibration of machine components is a major problem. Yaskawa's vibration suppression technology keeps resonance under control, yielding better cartons and faster change-overs from big to small box sizes.

00:01:10 late the box would outrun the fold hook and you wouldn't be successful folding that flap either the ability to move the hooks in and out and the carriage is in and out where we support that that shaft can can change the resonant frequencies of the entire system so you know we can get it up set up for one box or for one run and you know if we tune out the resonant frequencies at that point it's

00:01:35 fine but then when you change for the next box things could get unstable and then we're back to square one the vibration suppression while you're running can determine what those resonant frequencies are can dampen them out it allows us to to tune the system hot so that we can maintain high performance at high speed but still not

00:01:59 get those frequencies that cause it to become unstable I think most automation suppliers will advertise this is probably the first time I've actually seen it work we've been using this guy went out for eight years and I could probably count on one hand how many drives and motors we can post the experience I've had with Yaskawa has been nothing less than

00:02:31 top-notch for us Prius Kalwa and for our customers [Music]
