PROTiM, a manufacturer of packaging machines operating under the iFormer brand, has completed an advanced Tray & Hood packaging line for a leading tea producer, using OMRON's Sysmac control platform. The customer required a fully automated secondary packaging solution capable of reducing labour dependency while improving throughput and quality. PROTiM, a specialized system integrator and machine manufacturer (OEM), was selected for its expertise in synchronized servo-driven packaging machines.
Key Benefits
An integrated control system based on the Sysmac platform - full synchronization of servo drives, easy creation of axis groups, and motion management within a single environment.
Tray & hood in one machine: XYZ manipulator, racetrack feeder, hood forming, tray application, and palletizing conveyor — all integrated
Simplified maintenance: Single project file in Sysmac Studio, with per-drive diagnostic screens and sensor visualization on the 15" HMI
At a Glance
A major food and beverage production plant in Europe sought a local machine builder capable of automating its secondary packaging lines to improve efficiency and packaging quality and to reduce material costs. PROTiM, a specialized Polish packaging machine integrator, proposed a multi-axis tray-and-hood case packer based on its iFormer platform, powered by OMRON's Sysmac automation system. The result is a fully integrated, high-speed packaging line with 10 synchronized 1S servo axes, a RaceTrack-like transport system, integrated safety, and a single Sysmac Studio project covering all motion, logic, HMI, and safety functions.
