Axiom® IM Series Case/Tray Packers Designed to Maximize Adjustability


Alexandria, Minnesota - January 23, 2008

Douglas' Axiom® IM Series Case/Tray Packers maximize adjustability with next generation electronic motion control technology. Adjustments for varying product sizes, corrugated blank warp and machine speeds are completed almost on the fly. Operator and maintenance staff simply access the program through the HMI and make adjustments to the servo function.

The Axiom® IM features an open design for added convenience when cleaning and accessing
machine components. New product sizes are easily added through the HMI and an electronic handwheel provides effortless hand cycling when needing to view the entire machine function in slow motion. Individual servo electronic overloads are easily adjusted as the load changes and can be set sensitive enough to protect the mechanism and, at times, even the product. Changeovers are completed in minutes with minimal change parts and customized motion profiles contribute to superior product and case handling. The Axiom® IM operates at speeds to 45 cases or trays per minute (application dependent).

A variety of options are offered, including the patented Velocity® High-Speed Product Stacker. The Velocity® provides continuous product flow to 600 products per minute (application dependent). Axiom® Series case packers are backed by Douglas' exclusive three (3) year limited warranty.
