Machinery
Maintain material tension at fast line speeds
Many of your customers want the latest generation of blisterpacking machines to be completely automated to improve production efficiency. These machines are designed with an emphasis on modular design and ultimate flexibility for rapid tool-free changeover. The goal for these machines is to be completely automated to be able to handle products at such rates of 600 pieces/min and flexible enough to handle all sorts of products such as face seal, fold over card with blister and plastic-plastic (clam shells).
With line speeds at such high rates, having consistent tension on the material and accurate indexing is important. Whether your running with foil, films, or both, the team at Altra Industrial Motion can provide you with tension control systems and wrap spring clutches to help you produce highly efficient, synchronized blister packaging lines.
Warner Electric offers a comprehensive line of Tension Control products including electric and pneumatic friction brakes, magnetic particle and
permanent magnet brakes, and both analog and digital controls. Several different types of brakes have been specifically designed for unwind/rewind/tension applications to provide consistent tension, even during flying splices and emergency stops.
Warner Electric’s Unimodule Clutch/Brake modules provide the ultimate in application versatility, from rapid cycling and accurate positioning, to soft controlled starts and stops.
These modules come completely
pre-assembled, pre-aligned, and
pre-burnished at the factory for
maximum performance right out
of the box.

Boston Gear's 800 Series contains a focused selection of compact, heavy duty helical gear drives that offer long-life performance and simplified maintenance. The 800 Series provides a functional interchange for SEW Eurodrive and other European manufacturers' helical gear drives, making it uniquely practical for replacement
applications.
Warner Electric’s packaged stationary field clutches (SFP) are factory assembled and burnished to deliver the maximum rated torque upon
installation. A packaged product
ensures that all engineering factors regarding the proper alignment of components have been established at the factory. This allows the unit to be ‘slid on the shaft’ after being shipped to you.
Warner Electric offers a complete
line of wrap spring clutches and
clutch/brakes, which are particularly well suited for performing indexing, positioning, and backstopping functions for wrapping machinery. Fast, repeatable, and positive action provides identical cycling
over a long life.
Designed for caustic washdown
applications, units feature trusted 700 Series worm gearing, a 316 stainless rounded housing with smooth uninterrupted surfaces designed to prevent particle accumulation and pooling fluids, double lipped shaft seals, covers for all hardware and counter bored holes.
