Converting Systems Exhibits its New Vertical Head Servo Shuttle Bag Machine at NPE 2018

Converting Systems, a designer and manufacturer of machinery for the fabrication of plastic bags, located in Schaumburg, IL, exhibits its broad range solutions portfolio at NPE 2018 in Orlando, Florida , May 7-11, 2018.

Converting Systems exhibition will be focus on its new Vertical Head Servo Shuttle Style Bag Machine, the sixth and fastest addition to its bag machine series. CSI’s newest model, the 1801V, features faster line speeds, enhanced safety features, easier maintenance, and HMI touchscreen access for set-up, operation, and troubleshooting resources.

“As we approach our 20th anniversary, we are excited to be unveiling the newest in our line of bag machines at NPE2018,” said Bill Engelhardt, General Manager. “Our focus is to continually improve our machines to keep up with customers’ production requirements.”

As a result of the partnership with Lenze Americas, a global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technology, the new 1801V utilizes Lenze’s p500 Controller and HMI, as well as their MCS servo motors. The upgraded touch-screen functionality allows easier operation, greater start-up acceleration, and higher bag length accuracy.

“Over the past few years our focus has been two-fold,” explained Ken McKay, Quality Assurance Director. “On one hand, we have refined and upgraded some of our most popular machines, giving them more robust operational features, expanded HMI accessible resources, and enhanced safety features. On the other hand, we have developed several new machines, like the 1801V, utilizing the latest technology to better meet the needs of our customers.”

The referred 1801V HMI equipment to be exhibited at NPE 2018 was developed to simplify operation and to reduce maintenance, to consequently increase the process productivity.

"With this machine we looked to improve production rates, add to operator safety, and reduce maintenance time,” said Matt Gallagher, Lead Mechanical Engineer. “These improvements, placed in an economical package, make the model 1801V a great solution for customers."
