Industry leader Paper Machinery Corporation builds new machine engineered for faster<br />
changeovers and more cost-effective system design<br />
The machine is engineered for faster<br />
changeovers and higher output in paper<br />
container production.<br />
Paper Machinery Corporation (PMC)<br />
of Milwaukee, WI, is the world’s<br />
leading source of high-performance<br />
forming machines for paper cups,<br />
paperboard canisters and custom<br />
paperboard packages.<br />
In response to customers seeking<br />
machines that were more economical<br />
and provided faster changeovers, the<br />
company created the PMC 2000S, the<br />
industry’s first fully servo-driven<br />
forming machine, engineered for faster,<br />
easier tooling changeovers and able to<br />
support a wider range of container sizes<br />
and dimensions.<br />
“For a growing segment of customers you<br />
need to run multiple sets of tooling on one<br />
machine,” said John Baumgartner,<br />
president of PMC. “Our servo-driven<br />
machine is going to be a significantly<br />
better machine for customers with that<br />
kind of tooling changeover requirement.”<br />
PMC chose a complete <strong>Rexroth</strong> drive and<br />
<strong>control</strong> platform, the IndraMotion MLC<br />
(motion, logic and <strong>control</strong>ler), combined<br />
with advanced <strong>Rexroth</strong> IndraDyn T<br />
direct drive motors and compact<br />
IndraDrive Cs servo drives.<br />
The new PMC 2000S is an 18-axis<br />
machine capable of producing up to<br />
200 cups per minute with three main<br />
sections: 1) a feed turret that inserts the
