Embedded servo drive
25 February 2014
An embedded servo drive from Metronix is providing an economic upgrade path for Pfankuch Machinery, manufacturer of friction feeder systems for inserting leaflets and products into sales packaging.

Metronix's smart drive has allowed Pfankuch to increase the speed of its latest friction feeder – the SmartFeeder – by 50% while also doubling the positioning accuracy. This offers a massive gain in productivity for the many users of this type of packaging equipment.
At the same time, the new embedded drive minimises the hardware costs of the upgrade for Pfankuch, because Metronix adapted it for the application, providing a stripped-down product suitable for OEM integration that eliminates numerous expensive components.
