Groninger Holding GmbH & Co. KG
Crailsheim Germany
groninger is
enhancing the engineering of its filling and closing machines for
pharmaceutical products with a modular line design, breaking new ground in
special machine construction.
The innovative solution is based on
standardized technologies and modules and offers many options for customers and
users, with less complexity in development. One of the first modular machine
solutions at groninger
are the flexfill
lines.
Particularly
for applications in the pharmaceutical industry, groninger
wants to help significantly shorten the time to production start-up. Time to
market is – in addition to flexibility and the ever-increasing safety
requirements for processing pharmaceutical products in a sterile environment –
one of the most critical issues. groniger
wants to offer its customers the usual variance and flexibility and at the same
time make internal processes as efficient as possible.
Modular
automation with SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers for flexible solutions:
Without
servo axes or
with SINAMICS S120 servo drives and SIMATIC
S7-1500T controller
With
safety functions – one
controller for non-safe and safety functions
With
advanced kinematics options,
even robotics applications can be covered

"Considered
over the entire lead time of a flexfill project, we can achieve up to 50% time
savings compared to a custom-developed machine."
