Engineering Green Packaging The move toward ‘green’ or sustainable packaging will usher in biopolymers as well as other material and package design changes. Engineers will have to develop packaging machines that can keep pace. Full Story Pack Expo in Motion Pack Expo kicked off its three-day run in Las Vegas today, and automation suppliers wasted no time in rolling out new components and systems aimed at packaging machine applications. Full Story Yaskawa's Next Generation Motion System Yaskawa Electric America today at the Pack Expo show unveiled a souped-up servo system that offers improvements in positioning accuracy and speed, a reduction in size, and the addition of new auto-tuning and vibration-suppression capabilities. Full Story In this podcast, Bruce Kucera, vice president of Norland International, will tell us how his company created a blow-molding machine specifically for use with polylactic acid (PLA), one of the biopolymers. Stephen Kundel has patented a way to use powerful permanent magnets to create simple motors with no conventional windings. This technology can be used in linear drive systems that have drastically reduced power requirements. Listen in as he describes his inventions.
