Dear visitor,

Welcome to interpack 2017! Once again, more companies

are exhibiting this year than ever before. This strong turnout

reflects the huge role that packaging plays in our lives. It

is also a testament to the ability of packaging machine

builders to continuously innovate.

Today we are seeing two interconnected mega trends:

The digitization of all types of information and the increas-

ing use of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in produc-

tion. Have you already embarked on this journey, too?

I am very pleased to invite you to visit Schneider Electric´s

booth (Hall 05, G22) and explore our leading automation

solutions for packaging machines. See our vision for a

smart machine as part of a fully connected, cybersecure

production system with EcoStruxure Machine, our ma-

chine-centric automation architecture that enables OEMs

to design safe, better connected, more flexible, and more

efficient machines through advanced digital technologies

and open standards.

Discover how your business can benefit from our

EcoStruxure approach at the machine, line, and

factory levels!

• Less product transfers and most gentle product handling due to product removal from the feeding plate and wrapping material supply within the same wrapping head

The HCW4/FPC5 machine


The HCW4/FPC5 machine is fully servo driven. A PacDrive controller synchro- nizes all 10 servo motors of the machine. To simplify stocking of spare parts, only one type of Lexium servo motor is used.

The machine’s outstanding visualization includes receipt management, gene-ration of maintenance plans, guided format changes, and a diagnosis system, all paving the way for future integration in Internet-based production approaches. PacDrive already supports this today:

• Ethernet-based communication on machine and line levels

• OPC UA protocol

Whether ampoules, syringes, vials, bottles, cartridges, or pens, Uhlmann´s blister machine, the BLU 400, is tailored to the needs of the pharmaceutical packaging of liquid dose products. Based on a modular system, it convincingly ensures safe and gentle product handling with its well-conceived concept. Unrivaled safety functions protect even the most susceptible products at all stages.

Blister machine BLU 400: Uncompromisingly geared to liquid dose products

When it comes to the automation and control of our pac-kaging machines, Schneider Electric is one of our prefer-red partners. The PacDrive 3 motion control solution, for instance, has proven its worth. We particularly value this cooperation, which is based on a long-term, stable partnership.”

Werner Blersch, Global Product Manager, Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co. KG

Customer Objectives

• Gentle product handling to avoid damage, e.g., minimum feeding heights

• Boundless configuration possibilities to meet all product requirements

• Compact machine design

• Operation and format changeover involving minimum time and manpower

Blister machine BLU 400


The secondary packaging of susceptible liquid dose products demands careful handling throughout the entire process. All processing steps must be accurate and precisely synchronized. As customer require-ments concerning liquid dose packaging are extremely diverse, each solution is very specific and customized. A flexible and scalable automation solution is required to achieve this.

The automation solution for the BLU 400 is based on the PacDrive 3 system, which controls all servomotors and one or more SCARA robots for product feeding. All working stations, indexes, and transfer systems have high-precision servodrives which govern the perfectly balanced interaction of the subsystems.



The machine is equipped with the total solution from Schneider Electric’s PacDrive 3 system, which controls 16 servo axes and includes a lot of remote I/O (with Sercos bus coupler), a Schneider HMI and safety relay. The safety program and hardware improve machine safety.

• Easy to program thanks to many function blocks and libraries of PacDrive 3

• All the servo parameters and the program are stored in the controller´s CF card for easy programming and maintenance

• Improved machine stability and performance thanks to high performance hardware
