Packaging is a necessary condition for products to enter the distribution domain, and the main means of achieving packaging is through the use of packaging machinery. With the development of the times and technological progress, packaging machinery is playing an increasingly significant role in the distribution domain. Traditional packaging machinery mostly adopts mechanical control methods, such as cam distributor shafts, and later electronic control, photoelectric control, pneumatic control and other control forms also appeared.
However, with the continuous improvement of productivity and the random changes in packaging parameters, these control systems are becoming increasingly difficult to meet the needs of new developments. At this point, a new technology —— mechatronics technology emerged, completely changing the appearance of packaging machinery and presenting it in a brand-new manner to the world.
Characteristics of Mechatronics Technology
In today's era of rapid scientific and technological advancements, the emergence of various new technologies, new processes, new materials, and new equipment is no longer simply the development of a single discipline, but rather the result of mutual penetration and complementary development among related disciplines and advanced technologies. Mechatronics technology is precisely such a new technology; it is a comprehensive technology established on the basis of information theory, control theory, and systems theory. Its essence is to start from a systemic perspective, apply process control principles, and organically combine mechanics, electronics, information, and detection technologies to achieve overall optimization. Specifically, it involves introducing microcomputer technology into packaging machinery.
