INVT TM700 PLC for Intelligent Capping Machine Upgrade

In recent years, driven by stringent demands for packaging efficiency and sealing integrity from end industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and daily chemicals, China's capping machine market has surpassed 10 billion yuan in scale, maintaining a stable annual compound growth rate exceeding 8%. Among these, linear capping machines—with their modular design and high-speed capping capabilities—have achieved over 60% penetration in beverage filling lines, emerging as the core growth driver for the industry.

However, traditional capping machine solutions exhibit numerous shortcomings in areas such as intelligence, torque control, capping efficiency, and cost management. The automation level and production efficiency of capping machines have become key indicators for evaluating equipment performance. To meet market demand for high-efficiency, precision capping machines, a Guangdong-based equipment supplier has preemptively replaced an entire set of electrical equipment to complete a system upgrade.

INVT Solution

To meet customer demands, INVT has launched a new intelligent capping machine system solution. This integrated solution combines the VS series HMI, TM700 series PLC, and DA180A servo drive to provide a one-stop solution for customer needs, significantly boosting production capacity on the equipment.

• Precise Cap-Tightening Torque Control: The cap-tightening servo can switch between position and torque control modes via the PLC, enabling precise control of the cap-tightening torque to ensure a secure seal.

• High Synchronization via Electronic Cam Control: The capping machine and bottles on the conveyor belt are controlled by a PLC-based electronic cam system. This ensures no positional deviation between bottles and caps at varying line speeds, enabling precise capping without bottle tipping and achieving high production efficiency.

• Waterfall-Style Lid Control for Rapid Speed: Utilizing an advanced waterfall-style lid control mechanism significantly enhances lid closing speed.

• High Adaptability: This solution can be applied to capping bottles of various shapes and sizes, meeting customers' diverse needs.

Customer Benefits

• Improve efficiency: Compared to the old system, production efficiency has increased by 10%, and the cap-sealing adaptability is significantly higher, meeting the diverse needs of end customers.

• Increase production capacity: Precise control of the capping machine reduces product defect rates and increases production capacity by 10%.

• Reduce costs: Unified drive, control, and electrical brands simplify after-sales service and maintenance, reducing customers' electrical costs and operational expenses.
