Spiraltech Automation Case Study with Inovance Products

This case study details the collaboration between Spiraltech, a UK packaging machinery OEM, and CAPSS, a distributor of automation products. The objective was to enhance the performance of Spiraltech's pick-and-place machines, increasing their speed from 70 to 140 pieces-per-minute. The machines utilize Inovance automation products, including servo drives, motors, and motion controllers, which were selected for their compact size, performance, and compliance with IEC software standards. The case study outlines the challenges faced by Spiraltech, particularly the need to address labor shortages in Europe and the US, which necessitated a shift from standard pneumatic systems to servo motion solutions. The implementation of Inovance products not only doubled the operational speed of the machines but also reduced the need for manual labor, thus providing significant efficiency gains. The technical support from CAPSS was instrumental in ensuring rapid deployment and operational success.
