Bosch Packaging Technology offers Human Machine Interface HMI 4.0 suited for both stand-alone machines and entire lines. It provides an interface for data collection, data sharing and visualization. HMI consists in its guided workflows, which lead operators through each step of production processes. The same applies to format changes, cleaning and maintenance as well as other processes. The display resembles that of mobile devices like smartphones or tablets. Thanks to an intuitive, touch-sensitive surface, data can be entered with gestures (multi-touch), including zooming in and out with two fingers as well as navigation by swiping. Thanks to a clearly arranged, tile-structured menu, operators will benefit from a quick overview of all functions and processes of their machines. Tailored to specific user roles, such as operator or line manager, the HMI 4.0 only displays the processes relevant to the current user. The HMI 4.0 provides comprehensive, integrated support as well as more transparent processes and notifications. In case of production downtime, operators immediately receive a notification including information about the causes and troubleshooting support to quickly restart their machines. Direct links to user manuals and format changeover lists assist users in their day-to-day tasks. Furthermore, a new comment section enables users to add their own notes and share them with others. System and line competence implies shifting the focus from a single machine to the entire production line by offering complete solutions.

With high torque carrying capabilities reaching up to 6.14 mNm, the 17DCT provides outstanding performance with efficiency reaching up to 85 per cent while providing a long lifetime. Due to the inherent design of the 17DCT motor, it can deliver higher torque per ampere resulting in better battery life. This makes it ideal for demanding applications such as medical and industrial pumps, drug delivery systems, miniature industrial power tools and more. Other applications, including lab automation and humanoid robots, can benefit from the features of the 17DCT Athlonix motor. Athlonix 17DCT miniature DC motors are available in 2 variations, precious metal commutation and graphite commutation with a neodymium magnet inside. The unique constant force spring design for carbon brush provides consistent performance. An REE (restriction of electro erosion) coil is an available option, which prolongs the life of the motor and provides an environment of intrinsic safety especially at high speed conditions. Athlonix motors are available with encoders and gearheads of various sizes and ratios. They are manufactured in an ISO certified facility and are RoHS compliant.
