The application developed with Vetromeccanica is equipped with CM3C.. synchronous servomotors featuring MOVILINK® DDI digital encoder and digital brake for more comprehensive diagnostics.

The technology Power and Energy Solutions integrated into the control cabinet enables efficient energy management of the machine: it reduces peak power in the electrical grid for automation solutions thanks to drive converters combined with supercapacitors, thereby increasing energy efficiency and system availability.

On the software side, the DriveRadar® SmartDataCollector enables data collection for predictive monitoring and machine control, while the MOVIKIT® modules support the development of machine software.

In the hollow glass and container industry, a sudden production line shutdown results in significant financial losses and high operational complexity. The new technological application solution developed by Vetromeccanica in collaboration with SEW-EURODRIVE addresses this challenge:

  • Continuous monitoring of operational data: the solution constantly tracks key parameters and the operational performance of handling systems in real time;
  • Failure prevention:thanks to predictive analytics, the system can identify faults or abnormal wear before they develop into critical failures;
  • Production continuity:sudden machine downtime is drastically reduced, ensuring maximum production efficiency and extending the life cycle of the equipment.

Vetromeccanica srl is a company specializing in the dimensioning and manufacture of systems for handling containers made of PET, HDPE, glass, tinplate, aluminum, and other materials. It was founded and has grown in Neviano degli Arduini (PR), in the heart of the Food Valley. It operates in over 70 countries with thousands of turnkey installations.

It operates in the following sectors:

  • Plastic Container Manufacturers;
  • Food and Bottling;
  • Chemical and Cosmetics;
  • Hollow Glass;
  • Metal Packaging;
  • Pet Food.

Vetromeccanica offers the best solutions by taking into account the production needs of each individual container handling line and selecting the systems best suited to the production environment.
In collaboration with SEW-EURODRIVE, we have developed a platform capable of implementing predictive maintenance on glass palletizers, which detects all critical machine components and their associated parts and alerts the operator via pop-ups and alerts. Another very useful feature is the ability to store and accumulate energy and release it to the machine when needed, thereby optimizing energy consumption.

In the glass industry as well, SEW-EURODRIVE promotes digital integration—a system built into our product family that enables the exchange of information from the field to the control cabinet in a controlled, managed, and extremely flexible manner. Thanks to digital integration, our customers can develop solutions and applications to reduce production downtime, plan more targeted maintenance for critical machine components, and keep their machines operational for longer.
