The smart function kit offers intuitive commissioning and the configuration for a vast range of processes, such as joining and handling. 

Market Drivers:

Driver 1:

Increasing demand of automation in primary package is expected to drive the growth of the global linear motion system market. For instance, in June 2020, Rockwell Automation released the iTRAK 5730 small-frame intelligent track system (Linear Motion Control system) for food and beverage packaging. It has a 50-mm minimum pitch that makes it ideal for primary packaging applications, such as flow wrapping, end-load cartooning, and form- fill-and-seal pouching.

Driver 2:

Use of IO-Link in the modern packaging factories is anticipated to fuel the growth of the global linear motion system market. For instance, in January 2021, Linak launched an electric linear actuator with IO-Link for a broad range of applications in automated machinery in packaging. The product guarantees uptime and diagnostic data that permits operators to react quickly to any event slowing down production.
