What are the applications of linear actuators for automated packaging?

Posted by CaryRS on

The packaging industry is fast-evolving and highly automated. Pneumatics and hydraulic-driven actuators have been used for automation in this industry for a long time. Nowadays, these actuators are being replaced by electric linear actuators, which bring several advantages in terms of performance and utility. Today, it is common to see linear actuators driven by electricity in various packaging operations, including picking, clearing, sorting, and so on. Electric linear actuators are revolutionizing the packaging industry in the following ways: Green and Energy Saving: Unlike hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, the linear actuators driven by electricity feature no oil pumps or power-hungry compressors....
