Schubert is one of the packaging machine manufacturers to establish what has in the last years become known as Packaging Valley, an area lying in the triangle between Heilbronn, Stuttgart and Ansbach in the northeast of Baden-Württemberg and western Bavaria. Founded 40 years ago, the company has developed from a special purpose machine engineering firm to the series machine manufacturer it is today, employing a workforce of almost 600. In the seventies, the company invested in a mechanical modular design system. At the beginning of the eighties, Schubert constructed the world's first packaging robot. The launch of a series produced optical detection system in the mid eighties marked the start of a rapid upward development. The end of the nineties saw the introduction of the VMS control system, also an internal development, which subsequently culminated in the development of the TLM packaging machine generation. TLM stands for Top Loading Machine. TLM packaging machines are based on the realization that maximum flexibility is the result of simple mechanical engineering coupled with intelligent control and exchangeable tools. The TLM machine system comprises just seven system components, each of which is an exchangeable packaging robot. TLM packaging machines are controlled and driven fully electronically and are assembled in the same way as automobiles on an assembly line. Individual adjustment in line with the packaged product takes place through the use of exchangeable tools and individual software.
Many of the functions of the TLM machine generation are performed in the machine software and consequently not exposed to any disturbing influences. As a result, they are highly reliable and guarantee an outstanding degree of system availability. TLM packaging machines feature a clearly arranged structure and easy accessibility in every area, and their operation is simplicity itself. |

Thermoform Machines TLM-T400/800
04.03.2010
are the first digital thermoforming, filling and sealing machines to work with two continuously running film webs, pick-and-place robots equipped for the insertion of products from bulk, and ultrasound sealing and punching functions. The Schubert thermoform technology offers excellent possibilities for the automation of the packaging process. The modular philosophy facilitates both thermoforming, automatic filling and sealing / punching (FFS) and thermoforming and punching, filling and cartoning. The manufacturing of blisters with sealing cards is also possible. Quick tool changes on the lines are possible by means of change parts with a clean and simple design as well as operator convenience. The width of the film transport can be adjusted in order to optimise the costs of the packaging material. Ultrasound is used for sealing and punching. The ultrasonic sealing and punching press can be used for the combined sealing and punching process as well as only for punching. 10 advantages of sealing and punching with ultrasound • Short sealing times
• Cold tool
• Long service life
• Energy-saving
• Simultaneous sealing and punching
• Control of the used sealing energy via ultrasonic generator
• Sealing of soiled sealing edges possible
• Quick tool changes
• No sharp punching contours
• Great creative freedom relative to the form of the punching contour Schubert thermoform machines can be used for the packaging of technical articles, for example toothbrushes or ink cartridges. The system offers advantages for the packaging of syringes, inhalers, ampoules and vials for the pharmaceutical industry. The sealing with ultrasound also offers advantages for the confectionery industry by using cold tools. The manufacturing of packages with protective gas for foodstuff (for example cheese) is also possible.

TLM-F44 Picker Lines
04.03.2010
F44 Picker Lines are purely series-production machines for picking and placing products in trays, sales and shipping cartons. On time delivery" has become a reality, as F44 picker lines are extremely flexible. F44 picker lines operate in accordance with an extremely simple concept . The product is fed freely standing or lying on a continuously moving conveyor belt. The packaging trays or boxes also run continuously to the left or right of the belt - but in the opposite direction of the product. The speed is matched to the product quantity and is controlled fully automatically.
However, what makes the entire system control absolutely unique are the picker stations themselves. A central computer is not required. Any failure of a robot system has no affect whatsoever on the operation or efficiency of the entire picker system. When F44 picker lines are used, there is also no need for the otherwise obligatory product buffer.

TLM-F44
04.03.2010
The world's first packaging robot was a four-axis model developed and constructed by Gerhard Schubert at the end of the seventies. Unveiled for the first time at Interpack 1981 sporting the name Roby, the unit attracted excited interest in the industry. Today, it goes by the type designation TLM-F4 robot unit. Equipped with a carbon fibre arm, it is capable of achieving acceleration levels of 10 G and speeds of 5 metres per second. And as you would expect of a robot, it does all this with practically no noise. The F4 unit, also known as a picker, generally comes exclusively in the form of a double pack regulated by a control system - a double F4 or F44 picker station. While in former times the unit's zero point had to be laboriously reset with every change of motor, this now takes place fully automatically. The vision system Our vision system is used in conjunction with the TLM-F44 robot unit. The vision system is capable of processing around 4000 products per minute with the aid of an incident or transmitted light scanner. The incident light scanner is a colour scanner which supplies a three-dimensional picture. The packaging machine operator can specify certain quality characteristics for the image processing system to take into consideration, so ensuring that only flawless products are ever picked off the infeed conveyor. As well as the precise position and rotational angle of the products, the surface dimensions and contour data are compared to the specified values and transmitted to the robots
