LM S.P.A. provides food and beverage producers with conveying and intermediate storage solutions for bottle, cans, soft packs, case, cartons and more. At drinktec, LM introduced a new multi-lane, 2 axis servo-driven divider using ELAU’s PacDrive automation system.

The servos control rapid transverse and longitudinal movements of telescopic guides to execute lane changes. The guides maintain positive control of products on two sides without need for additional fixturing. Speed and sequencing are controlled automatically, with fast pushbutton size changes.

LM chose ELAU for a flexible, cost competitive control solution that requires only one controller to integrate both motion and logic.
