Automation for EBM Machines

The automations developed by Techne simplify machine operation—especially process adjustments and clamping force settings—reducing manual interventions and errors while ensuring greater efficiency, production continuity, and control.

Automazione per la regolazione della forza di chiusura
Clamping Force Automation

Techne’s patented CFA (Clamping Force Automation) automates the adjustment of clamping force for bottles, storing the correct settings in the PLC for each recipe. This ensures fast, error-free format changes, reduces human error, and protects molds and the machine over time.

Soluzioni per automatizzare il processo di estrusione soffiaggio sviluppate da Techne
Process Automation

A complete automation solution to optimize the extrusion blow molding process, reducing manual interventions, errors, and production restart delays. Thanks to the HMI, operators can monitor and control a wide range of functions in real time.

Automation: 3 Key Benefits

Automation eliminates human error, ensuring correct settings for each bottle and format. This reduces component damage and ensures more reliable and consistent production.

Molds always operate within nominal values, preventing premature wear and damage to cutting edges. This extends mold life and reduces maintenance costs and downtime.

Techne’s process and clamping force automations save operators time by eliminating manual adjustments across numerous settings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does Clamping Force Automation mean?

It is the automation of the mold clamping force, stored in the bottle recipe, without the need for operator intervention.

Which machines can the CFA be applied to?

The CFA system can be applied to all Techne Full Electric blow molding machines in the E-line, Ph-line, and TK-line ranges. It is also potentially compatible as a retrofit for Techne machines already installed.

How do automatic settings work for each format?

Each format can have a predefined set of position parameters (for the extrusion platform, cutting systems, nozzles, molds, pickers, etc.). When a new recipe is loaded, the system automatically recalls and applies these settings, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

Which process parameters can be adjusted via HMI?

Through the HMI, it is possible to monitor and adjust many functions in real time, including:

  • Vertical and transverse position of the extrusion platform;
  • Position and speed of the cutting system;
  • Individual flow restrictors;
  • Parison weight and length;
  • Position of blow pins, plates, and molds;
  • Position of the leak tester and picker:
