Basic System - Horizontal Pillow Machine
The rolls in each process (conveyor, vertical sealing, horizontal sealing) are mechanically interlocked and driven. The speed can be adjusted with an inverter, but the system operates at a constant speed. It is suitable for mass production of small varieties because the mechanical cam needs to be changed when the package specification is changed.

Intermediate System - Horizontal Pillow Machine
The rolls in each process are driven by independent motors and the processes are interlocked with electronic cams. All shafts are controlled by advanced synchronous control. Since the motion in each process can be flexibly changed by changing the cam pattern of simple motion, small-lot production of various products can be efficiently performed. In addition, program development efficiency can be improved by using the FBs of iQ Monozukuri PACKAGING.
