Expiration Date Printing Process
In the instant food manufacturing industry, ensuring precision in the expiration date printing process is critical. However, traditional air cylinders often struggle with speed stability, leading to misalignment and frequent production adjustments.
Challenges in the Previous System
Unstable Printing Accuracy – Air cylinders caused misalignment due to inconsistent speed.
Frequent Adjustments Required – Operators had to stop production for speed controller recalibrations four times a day.
Extended Cycle Time – Return movement took 2 seconds, impacting overall efficiency.
Overtime and Labor Costs – Equipment instability led to an additional 60 minutes of overtime daily.
The Solution: Implementing the EleCylinder ECS6HR
By replacing the air cylinder with the ECS6HR elecylinder, we achieved:
✅ Stable and Precise Printing – Motor-controlled movement ensures accuracy within the designated frame.
✅ 40 Minutes Saved in Daily Adjustments – Eliminating frequent recalibrations improved workflow.
✅ Shorter Cycle Time – Return movement reduced from 2 seconds to 1 second, optimizing efficiency.
✅ Zero Overtime – Streamlined operations resulted in an annual cost savings of approximately $7,200 USD.
With precise speed control and customizable acceleration settings, the elecylinder provides a highly efficient and reliable solution for expiration date printing, leading to significant improvements in production stability and cost-effectiveness.
