Michael Kundinger of Kundinger Inc. elaborates on several of the technologies that the company showcased at its booth at the recent Converters Expo.

The Cotton Fault Reject System automatically verifies the presence of an upright bottle with cotton nestled inside and rejects any bottle that has tipped over, lacks cotton, or has cotton creeping over the rim. 

NewTek Hermetically-Sealed AC-operated LVDTs enable safe position measurement in high-risk areas to protect operators from harm.

The modular safety gate system from Pilz now includes the PSENmlock handle module.

The company aims to save energy and optimize production processes to shrink its carbon footprint.

When any element on a production line fails, the entire production line probably goes down, at considerable loss of time and profit. The first thought of the maintenance engineer is, “How soon can I get it back up?” The pain begins when the line goes down and ends when the line recovers full production.

Packaging is a constantly shifting environment. However, unlike the rest of production, packaging processes have been slow to uptake new technologies. Thankfully, with the rise of developments in technology, like sensors, human-machine interfaces and motion control, flexibility of the packaging line is better than ever.

SICK Inc. was named a Top 50 Robotics Company by the Robotics Business Review.
