Plastic & Packaging

Servo motors are essential to the manufacturing of plastics and packaging and are found in use across Vacuum or Thermoforming and Extrusion. These plastic manufacturing techniques all require precise movements and high speed cycles to produce the required shape while the plastic is malleable.

Extrusion is used to produce long sections of the same continuous profile and is used to produce a wide range of items from straws to drainpipes, Thermoforming uses a mould to shape plastic which has been heated to a precise temperature, and vacuum forming is a version of thermoforming which uses a vacuum to force the heated plastic onto the mould.

Servo motors are used for these processes as they can be programmed to undertake these tasks quickly and efficiently with very high levels of replication, meaning that identical results can be achieved every time. Due to the nature of this work the motors can often be running 24/7 and as such if these motors fail a repair is required urgently to get the plant back online. CPM Servolab offer a range of servo motor repair solutions to achieve this rapid turnaround.
