Delta empowers Tecnobox with cutting-edge automation in box forming machinery
Amidst the rapidly evolving landscape of the box forming machinery sector , the demand for more efficient , sustainable , and robust machinery is escalating . Delta ’ s innovative automation solutions have played a pivotal role in enhancing the production capabilities of Tecnobox , a box forming machinery company in Spain . This transformation has not only fortified Tecnobox ’ s position in a competitive market , but it has also set new standards in the industry for technological advancement and environmental responsibility .
Urgent Need for a Reliable , Efficient Solution
Nestled in Levante , a bountiful food-producing region , Tecnobox is renowned for its dedication to quality , innovation , and sustainability . With around 40 employees , this medium-sized company has carved a niche in manufacturing robust , lowmaintenance cardboard box assembly machinery .
Its products are distinguished by the use of standard components to speed up production and a commitment to replacing metal and plastic containers with biodegradable alternatives .
However , the post-pandemic landscape posed unprecedented challenges for the company . A critical component crisis threatened the continuity of Tecnobox ’ s production , putting its market leadership at risk .
This crisis coincided with a period when Delta was seeking to establish a stronger presence in the market .
Tecnobox ’ s need was clear . 12 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk
It required a system that mirrored its current architecture ’ s reliability , while offering enhanced efficiency . The solution had to be complete and incorporate EtherCAT communication while aligning with its ethos of innovation and sustainability . With its AX3 PLC , MS300 , ASDA-B3 , DOP100 , and LITE Power Supply . Delta emerged as the candidate most suited to meeting Tecnobox ’ s requirements , not just for the completeness of its offering , but also its ability to deliver it promptly .
Operating two distinct machines within the system , Tecnobox required specialized control architectures tailored to each machine ’ s unique tasks and performance metrics . The first machine , TB-Pack , utilizes a servo system with the MS300 drive , achieving a production speed of 3000 pieces per hour . Along with the servo system and MS300 drive , it is also equipped with an HMI , PLC , and I / O , making this machine optimally forms boxes of specific types .
The second machine , TBQ-Pack , shares a similar configuration with TB-Pack but substitutes the MS300 with another servo system , allowing it to operate at a faster pace of up to 10000 pieces per hour . These variations in control architecture stem from the distinct production requirements and speed capabilities of each machine .
A Synergy of Expertise and Innovation
The journey began with Delta ’ s proactive approach . Collaborating closely with its regional partner , INDA LEVANTE , Delta offered its comprehensive automation solutions to Tecnobox . This collaboration was not just about providing hardware ; it involved an intricate process of understanding Tecnobox ’ s needs and tailoring its hardware and software solutions according to Tecnobox ’ s unique requirements .
Delta ’ s Project Managers and Field Application Engineers spearheaded the initiative , conducting extensive technical training sessions for Tecnobox
