Dosaxe (DX10)

The Dosaxe system is an automated system for filling jars / bottles of different sizes in continuous production, called "on the fly". It comes from a real industrial machine used in the food, pharmaceutical or cosmetics industry.

This automated system can be used independently with, for example, jars / bottles or within the flexible ErmaSmart production line.

The main functions of the Dosaxe system are:

Convey the jars / bottles from the inlet to the outlet of the system (the jars / bottles can be conveyed either alone or in pairs in parallel, of different formats).

Fill the jars / bottles on the fly or at a standstill with the linear axis using the brushless motor

This automated system designed in the spirit of the Industry of the future (Industry 4.0) meets the main requirements for intelligence and development of production methods:

Scalability & Flexibility with the possibility of assigning the system to different types of productions

IoT & Communications with the PLC and communicating drives

Efficient actuators with the linear axis with brushless motor

This training system is mainly intended for driving activities, systems management, industrial maintenance, electrical engineering, automation and mechanics.
