Applications
Food packaging
Planetary gearboxes (IP65) for food-packaging axes. Rotary tables need a separate environment decision — see the limit below.
Where the parts sit
- ① Planetary gearbox at the axis drive — Reduces motor speed and multiplies torque for the axis; ratio and backlash are checked on the selection page.
- ② Gear rack along the long-travel bed — Converts pinion rotation into long linear travel; module, length and straight vs. helical must be stated in the inquiry.
- ③ Rotary table at the indexing station — Positions and holds the workpiece directly on the table; hollow centre carries wiring and piping. IP40 — do not assume suitability for a wet or food line.
Product lines used
Planetary gearboxes (IP65) for food-packaging axes. Rotary tables need a separate environment decision — see the limit below.
Key parameters
- Planetary gearboxes: IP65, ratios 3–100, life 20,000 h.
- Rotary tables: positioning ≤1 arcmin (DSP450: 2 arcmin), repeatability ≤15 arcsec (DSP280 / DSP450: 20 arcsec).
Environment limits
- IP40 rotary tables must not be directly used on a wet or food line without the supplier's written confirmation. No washdown suitability is claimed anywhere on this site.
- If the line is washed down or wet, say so in the inquiry and wait for a written answer before specifying any rotary table.
What to state in the inquiry
- Wet / washdown exposure, cleaning agents if any, duty cycle, motor flange and shaft.
