Intelligent Servo Modules make packaging machines simpler, compact, modular, agile

ELAU, credited with first enabling mechatronics in packaging machine design and more recently with introducing the advantages of modularity to packaging machine automation, has launched the next advance in modularity, its new PacDrive™ iSH Series of Intelligent Servo Modules. Pushing beyond the limits of conventional servo motors, drives and look-alike actuators, the self-contained servo modules increase machine performance, flexibility and overall value by streamlining the implementation of servo control in packaging machinery.

In so doing, ELAU is offering packaging machinery designers and users the enabling technology to more effectively implement consumer marketing, supply chain management and lean manufacturing strategies. Complementing ELAU’s documented advantages in modular automation software, this modular hardware approach promotes new engineering efficiencies, plug-and-play machine integration and maintainability in the field.
