67 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 18 Visit us in hall A4 - booth 124C Website: www.hymega.com Email: info@hymega.com High speed machines for sports caps and complex closures German machine builder Contexo is presenting its continu- ous motion technology for fast assembly of sports caps and complex closures. The machine on show has an output rate of over 1,300,000 parts a day - while at the same time the footprint is low. Contexo’s engineers have integrated compre- hensive quality-control and TE-proof feeders into a compact continuous-motion system. The machine can be directly chained with an injection-moulding machine, and moments later pack the finished and fully inspected cap. This means extremely high output rates are now possible on a very small installation area. You could literally operate a production site in your living room, says Contexo. Contexo attains these high output rates on a small footprint through a handful of techno- logical developments. Firstly, Contexo chains injection- moulding machines directly to the assembly unit. For this, Contexo developed its own TE-proof feeding technology that processes warm parts. It feeds the assembly unit without human intervention and contamination. Another important part of the technological concept is Contexo’s continuous motion technology. It allows high productivity on a small space. Contexo has been developing its system for over a decade and became a technological leader in the market. Finally, Contexo uses inline vision control systems that are integrated into the machine workflow and perform over a dozen quality checks to guarantee 100% reliability. Even with output rates of more than a million parts a day, the company’s promise is that not a single defective part leaves the factory. www.contexo-automation.com Hall A4 - Booth 236
