Hakusanat: Automaatio, liikkeenohjaus, moniakselikäyttö, pakkauskone

Työn tarkoituksena oli selvittää moniakselisovellusten markkinapotentiaali Euroopassa

valmistetuissa pakkauskoneissa. Tässä tutkimuksessa moniakselisovellus tarkoittaa

kokoonpanoa, missä tehonsyöttö on toteutettu DC syöttösillalla eri akseliohjaimille ja

ohjausäly on keskitetty yhteen muita ohjaavaan yksikköön. Markkinapotentiaalin

selvitykseen käytettiin pakkauskoneautomaatiotutkimusta. Tutkimus tarkastelee

Euroopassa myytyjen ja valmistettujen pakkauskoneiden kustannusrakennetta

tuoteryhmittäin. Tuoteryhmien tarkempaa erittelyä ja moniakselisovellusten suhdeluvun

löytämistä varten käytettiin arviointia sekä globaalia liikkeenohjaustutkimusta.

Moniakselisovellusten suhdeluvulla pystyttiin arvioimaan missä maassa ja

pakkauskonesektorissa on suurin markkinapotentiaali. Tutkimusten lisäksi

pakkausalalle suunnatuilla yrityshaastatteluilla pyrittiin keräämään tietoa

pakkauskoneiden nykytilanteesta sekä mahdollisista kehityssuuntauksista.

Suurimmat markkinapotentiaalit löytyvät Saksasta ja Italiasta, mitkä ovat suurimmat

pakkauskonevalmistajat Euroopassa. Merkittävintä kasvua Euroopan alueella seuraavan

2-3 vuoden aikana ilmenee Turkissa, missä vuosittainen kasvu pakkausteollisuudessa on

lähes samalla tasolla kuin keskimääräinen koneenrakennuksen kasvu Aasiassa.

Pohjoismaista suurin markkinapotentiaali on Ruotsissa, mikä ylsi 35 sijalle vertailussa.

Yrityshaastattelujen perusteella automaatiokomponentit tulevat lähivuosina pysymään

saman tehoisina, eikä akselimäärissä ole näkyvissä muutosta. Integroidut

koneturvallisuusominaisuudet yhdessä universaalin ohjelmiston kanssa olivat

merkittävimmät suuntaukset. Toisin kuin yleisesti teollisuudessa, pakkauskoneiden

energiansäästötavoitteet ovat ja tulevat olemaan matalalla tasolla seuraavina vuosina.

Key words: Automation, motion control, multi-axis solution, packaging machine

The objective of this thesis was to examine the potential of multi-axis solutions in

packaging machines produced in Europe. The definition of a multi-axis solution in this

study is a construction that uses a common DC bus power supply for different

amplifiers running the axes and the intelligence is centralized into one unit. The cost

structure of a packaging machine was gained from an automation research, which

divided the machines according to automation categories. The automation categories

were then further divided into different sub-components by evaluating the ratio of

multi-axis solutions compared to other automation components in packaging machines.

A global motion control study was used for further information. With the help of the

ratio, an estimation of the potential of multi-axis solutions in each country and

packaging machine sector was completed. In addition to the research, a specific

questionnaire was sent to five companies to gain information about the present situation

and possible trends in packaging machinery.

The greatest potential markets are in Germany and Italy, which are also the largest

producers of packaging machinery in Europe. The greatest growth in the next few years

will be seen in Turkey where the annual growth rate equals the general machinery

production rate in Asia. The greatest market potential of the Nordic countries is found in

Sweden in 35th position on the list. According to the interviews, motion control

products in packaging machines will retain their current power levels, as well as the

number of axes in the future. Integrated machine safety features together with a

universal programming language are the desired attributes of the future. Unlike

generally in industry, the energy saving objectives are and will remain insignificant in

the packaging industry.

PREFACE

The project has finally come to an end. First of all, I want to thank my supervisor Gert-

Jan Nijmolen, Professors Henry Lindell and Juha Varis who made the project run

smoothly. Secondly, I want to give thanks to my closest friends and to my employer

who supported me during the whole project. I have to say that the schedule was

extremely tight because of working parallel to this project but I’m satisfied with the

results. Now it is time to ease up for a while before the next project.

1. Introduction

Our community is developing fast and the changing lifestyles of consumers are pushing

the machine manufacturers into a position where a wide and rapidly expanding range of

products need to be packed. The growth is fastest in regions where the standard of

living is at a lower level. Asia, Africa and Southern America are the greatest growth

areas in the industry, including packaging machinery. Nevertheless, this study only

focuses on Europe, as Europe is still the biggest region producing packaging machinery.

The Packaging industry is a very complicated field with multiple angles, which sets

challenges for all working in the area. The aim of this study was to find out the potential

market share of multi-axis solutions of the European packaging industry. The multi-axis

solution is not just a single component; it consists of various intricate parts. The most

challenging point of this study is that at the moment ABB is a not a major global player

in the packaging machinery automation and as a result lacks application specific

offering and solution knowledge. Multi-axis solutions are characterized by a common

DC bus for several drives which are fed from a single rectifier. A multi-axis solution is

a cost effective package for many reasons, for example it is very compact due to its

small size, energy saving due to the possibility of power sharing and cost effective due

to its modifiable structure. The ABB product range covers almost every industrial field

but the business in packaging automation is at a very low level. The result of the study

provides targets for ABB staff both in component designing and in business planning

for the sales organization.

In Europe, the markets and industries are growing steadily with annual rates of a few

percent while simultaneously the less developed countries are reaching massive, almost

triple growth rates. Despite this, the markets in Europe are very interesting; the average

unit price in motion control products is raising and packaging machinery is one of the

largest motion control product users. This study also gives an overview of the present

markets globally in the field of motion control products. After exemplifying how the

markets are spread globally and how they are developing in different regions, the focus

is moved to the packaging field in Europe. The general data of motion control markets

11

is collected from the latest Motion Control IMS research, which examines the subject

from a global perspective. The data for packaging machinery markets is collected from

two surveys, which were the Opportunities for Automation Companies in the EMEA

Packaging Machinery Industry and The Machine Builders Year Book – Europe. The

survey focusing on automation was carried out in 2008 which was just before the global

recession started at the end of 2008. The other survey, The Machine Builder Year Book

was published at the beginning of 2011 and updated in November 2011. The Machine

Builder Year Book did not define the packaging machinery as precisely as the

Opportunities for Automation Companies in EMEA, and therefore these two surveys

were combined to gain a more in-depth understanding. The categorization for the

component definition was taken from the Opportunities for Automation Companies in

EMEA and the revenues from The Machine Builder Year Book. However, neither of

these studies evaluated the market share of multi-axis solutions. The combination of the

two aforementioned studies was not enough to determine the potential revenues for

multi-axis solutions, and therefore the motion control study was used to gain as precise

information as possible of the potential market share in packaging machinery. The

Motion Control World 2011, which examines machinery production on a larger scale,

reports that the packaging machinery sector is one of the greatest motion control

product users worldwide. As multi-axis solutions are listed under motion control, the

data could be applied from that study. After acquiring a large amount of information

from different sources, an estimation of the potential of multi-axis solutions in European

packaging machinery was attained. The results are depicted on rewritable Excel sheets

that can be modified by analyzing and modifying the possible shares for different

components listed under motion control.

The second part of the study was completed through interviewing companies working in

the packaging industry. Four of the interviewed companies’ core business is to build

packaging machines. Three of them were from Finland and one from Italy. Three of the

four Finnish companies export their machines worldwide and the remaining company

mainly focuses on automation design in their local market. The questionnaire was

divided into two sections, where the first part handled the present situation and the

second part included questions about the future. In total 30 questions were presented to

12

the interviewees. The questions, composed in collaboration with ABB staff, were

designed to release as much useful data as possible.

1.1 Packages and packaging

Packages and packaging machinery cover a range of subjects including regulation,

directives, standards, automation and mechanics amongst other things. The primary

function of a package is to protect the packaged product from environmental harm.

However, today in addition to the primary function there are many other important

issues that a modern package has to provide for. With the requirement that a package

has to carry multiple integrated features, a packaging machine has to be able to form the

desired package in a very short time and to a high standard of quality. It is common that

a single packaging machine high in accuracy and speed needs to be integrated into the

whole packaging line. A packaging line can consist of multiple packaging machines.

Almost everything is packaged, which results in the range of packages and packaging

machinery being extensive.

The packaging industry is an interdisciplinary field of study combining art, science and

technology in the materials and machines that are used. The user group of packages is

wide, for almost every single person and company use specific packages. There are

packages for consumers and companies and both are divided into several sectors with a

very different nature in products as well as packages. Each type of package needs a

customized packaging line which sets challenges for both the companies whose core

business it is to sell products including the packaging transaction and for the companies

who are manufacturing packaging lines. [1]

13

There are certain criteria that need to be met in order to produce a functional package.

To fulfill the criteria of a functional package it has to: [1]

Protect the product from the environment

Protect the environment from the packaged product

Maintain the given feature of a product

Enable highly efficient production and distribution

Improve the hygiene and security of the user and consumer

Report facts about the product, production, manufacturing company and recycling

Be as efficient as possible in saving energy and space in transportation

Be as efficient as possible in production costs

1.1.1 General properties of a package

The packaged product has to be protected against physical, chemical and biological

stresses. During the packaging process and transportation the package is under stress

which sets requirements for a package to handle vibrations, shocks, moisture, dust and

pressing. In foodstuff packaging the main threats to avoid are light and oxygen which

can be listed under chemical stresses. With the right packaging selection, biological

stresses such as pests, odors and flavors to the packaged product can be prevented.

Protection also acts as proof of the origin and quality of a packaged product because a

consumer can be mislead to buy a fake, broken or spoiled product. Many packages are

designed to be suitable, not just for the packaged product, but also with certain

dimensions and structures in mind, so that the package itself can be further packaged

into a transportation package with high efficiency in space. [1]

1.1.2 Package information and appearance

Different sectors have their own decrees in package labelling. For example, foodstuff

package labelling is different to the ones used in cosmetic packages. Usually the labels

14

include information about product preservation, best before dates, usage and

maintenance instructions and other critical information. The information in package

labelling is useful not just for the end users but also for the packaging chain parties who

transport and sell the packages. Product usability information means multiple things,

two of which can be regarded as being high in value: the use of the packaged product

and the further recycling of the package. An environmentally friendly and safe package

guarantees that products or packages are disposed of correctly and ensures that there is

enough information for users not to harm themselves or the environment. [1]

The package has to be attractive enough, and give signals about the product to gain the

attention of consumers in order for them to buy it. A well-designed outward appearance

of a package is a great advertisement in image forming and promotes sales. The

possibilities in design are very broad nowadays because of the fast evolution in

techniques. Packaging companies spend vast amounts of money and time on designing a

package that is suitable, stylish and manufactured according to legislation. A consumer

easily recognizes a suitable product if the package provides a clear appearance with

certain symbols, branch marks or even slogans or any kind of signs with which the

product can be identified [1].

15

1.2 Packaging lines and machines

A typical packaging line includes several sections that are synchronized with each other,

or work individually depending on the layout of the line and automation ratio. These

sections can be the material feeding unit, consumer packaging machine, transportation

packaging machine, single load unit and other devices related to lines which fulfill a

process. Other devices in the packaging line can be for example the closing device,

taping machine, sealing machine and labelling machine. Due to the complexity of the

packaging line, it is very common that a line has one or more intermediate storages to

maintain the production run with as low downtime as possible. A small storage before

the most critical part of the packaging line can be a huge improvement in production

volume. [1] Picture 1 shows the typical layout of a packaging line including several

different sections.

Picture 1. Packaging line. [2]

16

1.2.1 Selection criteria

The package itself is a cost for the product manufacturer which drives them to make

decisions on packaging selection. The possible alternatives in product packaging are [2]:

Straight after the production line

Packaging near consumer markets

Using subcontracting in packaging

Externalize packing

Product without a package

The selection has to be made based on what is the most suitable location for packaging

machinery, which in turn depends on the possible production facilities and products that

need to be packed. If the packaging machinery is located directly after the production

line, it has to be fast enough not to slow down the whole process. But with some

products, such as in the food industry, it is necessary to pack the product immediately

after the production line has accomplished manufacturing the product.

High expectations of quality and quantities set demands for the packaging line

manufactures to meet the requirements of packaging companies, as well as of end users.

The greater the demands, the faster the machines are expected to create packages.

Therefore, mechanical durability plays a great role already during the packaging process

and not only after the product has been packed. [5] Mechanical durability is necessary

in order to maintain the desired production speed with as low downtime as possible.

Automation in packaging machines together with complex mechanics is also an

essential part of the whole system.

The product itself is one of the main criteria in packaging line and machinery selection,

in addition to the rate of production, logistics, market location, customer demands and

the expertise of the packaging company [1]. In machinery selection, it is highly

recommended to gain as much information as possible about the product itself. The

importance of product specification is on as high a level as selecting the packaging

materials [4]. Before starting packaging, a company has to form a deep calculation of

the needed capital, operating expenses and possible waste expenses, not forgetting the

17

risk analysis for the machinery. Over time, operating costs in packaging transactions

rise compared to what they are when the initial investment is made. The required

amount of operators to run the machine is an essential part of the operating expenses,

and it is fairly common that small companies use very simple machines that require

more manpower. Fully automated packaging lines are dependent on the production

volume, for the reason that a single investment is substantially higher than it is in less

automated machines. A fully automated packaging line can be an enormous investment

in the beginning but offers many benefits, such as better package uniformity and

quality, improved hygiene and fewer downtime periods. [1]

Picture 2 represents the main criteria for packaging line selection in addition to the

product features. As stated before, the package itself is one of the directive variables in

the packaging line selection.

Picture 2. Selection criteria of a packaging line. [1]

Many packaging machine manufactures are rather small and specialized in a certain

sector. Another common feature for packaging machinery is that packaging machines,

products and packages are tailor-made according to the customer’s needs and required

product features almost every time. Tailor made machines mean that there is no serial

production and the supplied machines are delivered in small batches, with a few

exceptions in the industry.

A packaging machine covers multiple phases and separate axes for different tasks.

Frequently, the axes need to be synchronized with each other and in the past these were

usually driven by one single mechanical power shaft wherefrom the ratios for different

parts of the machine were implemented with levers. This means that when the power

shaft is on the move the other phases are also moving with the defined ratio. It provides

very accurate synchronization where the axes are always in the desired position. In

modern packaging machines the control of different axes is done by using motion

control products for controlling several induction or servo motors.

It is very common that a packaging machine is controlled from one computed system.

One common feature of modern packaging machine control is that all the axes are

working in a closed loop. The definition of a closed loop is that a motor is equipped

with a device that provides motor shaft position feedback to the system, which makes

the process more accurate and faster. The controlling signals from the main system to

the motor controllers are usually sent in digital, analog or fieldbus forms. [1]

Packaging speeds in modern packaging machines are respectably fast. For example, a

wrapping machine wrapping sweets is able to wrap more than 1000 sweets per minute;

this cannot be detected with the human eye due to the high speed. The starting point in

packaging machine design is to give a target speed defining how many packages or how

many kilograms have to be packed during a given time frame. The target can be defined

in pieces, weight or units requiring packaging in a given varying time period between a

minute and one year. Despite the demanding targets on machinery speed, the designed

maximum capacity is not always the setting that is used in production. A line is made up

of several different parts which need to run together smoothly. [1] There might be

sections or single tasks that are not as fast as the single packaging machine, so the

production speed is limited to the lowest part of the line. If a single machine is working

alone it can be ran at full speed, but seldom are machines running at the designed

maximum speed. There are other important points to consider regarding production

speed, such as a decrease in quality, and the number of incorrect packages; both of

which are more likely to occur as the machine speed grows. [5]

19

1.3 Grouping of packaging machines

The range of different kinds of packaging machines is wide and the given names for

certain machines come from the operating method or the product brand name. For

example, the name of the filling machine comes from the operation it performs. The

same can be said of many others, such as the names of the sacking machine and

pouching machine. The prevailing language in the packaging branch is English and

many machinery names derive from the English initials. The FFS machine is a very

common packaging machine type and the initials stand for form-fill-seal, which also

describes the operating function of the machine. Different machines are divided into

vertical and horizontal machines according to the direction of the material flow in the

machine. One example of vertical machines is VFFS, vertical-form-fill-seal machine,

also known as Transwrap, which is a brand of a certain manufacturer. [1]

Packaging machines can be grouped and classified according to the operating method

and product that is being packed. Standard EN 415-1 stands for the security of

packaging machines: Part 1. Vocabulary and classifying of packaging machinery and

devices related to packaging machines. In the following list the most common types of

packaging machines according to the EN 415.-1 standard are presented. The standard is

in use in many countries and it simplifies the selection criteria of a packaging line

dividing machines into their own compartments, which makes the search for a suitable

supplier easier for packaging companies. The most relevant standards are introduced in

more detail later. [3]

1.4 Machine safety and standards

Every machine has to be safe enough not to cause any harm to the environment and

humans. The policy on safety has been tightened lately and it is not rare that a company

appoints a specific person whose primary job description is exclusively to take care of

machine safety. The safety level of old-fashioned machines is considerably low

compared to the current level. Modern devices are designed so that they should not be

able to harm humans or cause injuries while the machine is running or stopped. There

are many directives, some of which are common to all machinery sectors, and some

which are valid only within a specific region and sector. For packaging machinery there

are also a lot of standards and directives but the most relevant EN 415 – X standards

related to machine safety are only briefly introduced. Standards are not usually available

free of charge and none were purchased for the use of this research. The world of

standards and directives is very complex and would require dedication on the subject;

therefore the subject is dealt with only superficially here.

1.4.1 Standards and Directives in machinery

Inside the world of European directives for machinery in the industry, two can be

highlighted as the most relevant. [4]

The Machinery Directive

The Use of Work Equipment by Workers at Work Directive

Both directives are directly related to Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSR)

and can be utilized to confirm equipment safety in The Use of Work Equipment by

Workers at Work Directive.

22

1.4.2.1 The Machinery Directive

The machinery directive covers the supply of new machinery, safety components and

other products. It is against the law to supply machinery to the EU area without

fulfilling the directive. The definition for machinery within the directive is that the

machine is a combination of a fitted drive system including at least one section, which

is capable of performing a task without the help of a human. [4]

The present valid directive (2006/42/EY) was implemented on 29th

of December 2009

and obligates the machinery manufacturer or authorized representative to assure that the

supplied equipment is in conformity with the directive. [4]

Ensuring that the applicable EHSRs contained in Annex I of the Directive are

fulfilled

A technical file is prepared

Appropriate conformity assessment is carried out

An “EC Declaration of Conformity” is given

CE Marking is affixed where applicable

Instructions for safe use are provided

Picture 3 represents the guidance of procedures for fulfilling the machinery directive.

23

Picture 3. Overview procedure for the machinery directive. [4]

1.4.2.2 Essential Health & Safety Requirements

EHSR is a list that contains requirements for machinery that have to be complied with.

The main purpose of the list is to guarantee that the machinery is safe to use and

maintained throughout its lifetime. Here are some of the typical requirements for

review, however, it is important to take into account all requirements listed in the EHSR

annex. The annex is available in the 4th

version of Safebook. [4]

Inherently Safe Design. When possible the machinery design can prevent

dangerous situations.

24

Additional Protection Devices. When it is not possible to design the machinery to

be safe enough, certain safety equipment can be used to prevent any hazards. These

safety products can be for example safety locks, light-curtains or safety (sensing)

mats.

Personal Protective Equipment and/or Training must be used if the methods

above are not adequate in guaranteeing the safety of the machinery.

Machinery controls and control systems must be safe and must not be capable of

starting unexpectedly. Machines must be equipped with at least one or more emergency

stop device, and the surrounding environment has to be appropriate, including adequate

lighting and handling of the machine. The machinery structure has to be stable where

the used materials are appropriate and do not include sharp edges or surfaces that could

cause damage. The machine designer or liable authorized person has to be able to prove

that the machinery is in conformity with EHRS. A statement should include relevant

information about the machinery, such as specifications, results from the tests and

drawings. [4]

1.4.3 CEN

CEN (The European Committee for Standardization) is the leading and only recognized

organization in Europe according to directive 98/34/EC for the planning, drafting and

adoption of European Standards in all places where an economic activity occurs.

CENELEC and ETSI are the only exceptions where the CENELEC is related to

electrotechnology and ETSI is related to telecommunication. [7]

25

CEN Vision:

”to make a contribution to Europe's innovative capacity, global competitiveness,

sustainable growth, and to welfare of its citizens, by being the organisation of choice

for raising standards”[6]

CEN being a non-profit organization, founded in Belgium in 1975, is working to

remove trade barriers and improve and support the European economy, the welfare of

citizens and the environment. CEN offers a base for the development of EU standards

and technical instructions. A total of 33 national members across Europe are working

together with CEN to develop European Standards, EN’s. EN standards decrease

development and testing costs with very wide market reach in European internal

markets. These EN standards are also national standards in every member country,

which means that 1 European standard equals 33 National standards. CEN signed the

Vienna Agreement with the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) in

1991. ISO is CEN’s counterpart on a global scale and the agreement verifies

cooperation between these two participants in improving the technical compatibility and

adoption of the same text for both ISO and EN. [7]

1.4.4 EN standards

A European Standard, EN, is known as a very complicated process that causes further

costs for manufacturers. Regardless of this, it is one of the most important standards in

the whole business. EN standards are not known among all organizations, and maybe

the information is not relevant for all working in the industry. As a phrase or word,

“standards” is often interpreted as being boring or even considered inconsequential,

even though organizations have to take them into consideration while designing or

manufacturing technological products. In actual fact, standards push the manufactures

into a better market position and are crucial factors in gaining visibility for the company

inside, and even outside Europe. Standardization provides benefits for all parties related

to the manufacturing of technological products. Increased product safety, high quality

26

products, lower costs in testing and transactions can be mentioned as the best benefits

enabled by standardization. [8]

1.4.5 EN Harmonized European Standards

The following standards are common to all countries in EEA, produced by CEN and

CENELEC. The use of standards is voluntary but designing and manufacturing a

machine according to these standards is the most direct way of ensuring compliance

with EHSR of the Machinery Directive. [4]

Type A. Standards: Cover aspects applicable to all types of machines.

Type B. Standards: Subdivided into 2 groups.

Type B1 Standards: Cover particular safety and ergonomic aspects of machinery.

Type B2 Standards: Cover safety components and protective devices.

Type C. Standards: Cover specific types or groups of machines.

It is noteworthy that complying with a C standard automatically presumes conformity

with the EHSR. If it is not possible to find a suitable C standard for use, A and B

standards can be used as part or full proof of the EHSR conformity.

1.4.6 Safety standards in packaging machinery

For packaging machinery safety standardization, CEN has published nine different EN

standards which are shown below. Three standards are under development, two of

which are updates of the existing EN415-1 and EN415-6, but EN 415-10 is completely

new and stands for general requirements of packaging machine safety. EN 415-10 will

be implemented in November 2013, while the current status is still under approval. [9]

1.5 Global markets for servo systems – Motion control

The investigation of the motion control markets is based on the IMS Motion Control

World 2011. The same organization has also carried out the research where the

packaging machinery production in EMEA is investigated. The scope of the industries

and markets is limited to GMC and CNC, General motion control products and

Computerized Numerical Control. GMC is more relevant to packaging machinery

because the global revenues in GMC for packaging machinery are approximately six to

seven hundred times bigger than CNC on a global scale.

1.5.1 Global revenues for motion control products

Estimated world revenues for motion control products for the year 2011 were predicted

to be just short of 13 Billion U.S dollars with a very high growth rate because of strong

recovery from the recession that occurred during 2008 and 2009. The growth rate

stabilized back to its normal growth level in 2012. An average annual growth rate for

motion control products is forecasted to be 6.2 % from 2008 to 2015 which drives the

total motion control revenues up to nearly 18 Billion U.S dollars with more than 22.000

thousand units shipped. The growth rate for motion control products is dependent on

machinery production recovery in each sector. The Machine tool sector has been the

market booster after economic depression and the sector has a high share in motion

control markets representing over 45 % of the total market. [11]

29

Picture 4. The share of motion control revenues by region. [11]

1.5.2 EMEA

Because of the high number of machine builders, the most substantial area for motion

controls has long been EMEA. Despite the depressive years of 2008 and 2009, EMEA

still holds the leading position in the motion control market with annual revenues of 3.4

Billion U.S dollars in 2010. Total sales of the motion control products in EMEA for

2011 were predicted to be nearly 4 Billion U.S dollars. However, forecasts for longer

periods show that the Asia Pacific area is about to take EMEA’s place as the leading

motion control user region. If the forecast holds true, the Asia Pacific region will

overtake EMEA in 2014. The recovery from the recession has been difficult due to

economic problems in the area. Growth rates are also forecasted to be lower than for

other regions with 0,3 % in unit supply and 2.4 % in CAGR revenues up to 2015. [11]

1.5.3 APAC

The second largest motion control product market area is Asia Pacific with 30.1 % of

the market share in 2010. During the recession, China’s economy was able to make

positive growth while other countries and continents suffered with negative numbers.

China’s motion control markets grew almost 6.0 % during 2009 and the estimated

growth for 2010 was 36.2 %. This means that Asia Pacific has been able to gain over 10

percent of the total motion control markets since 2008 with the help of strong

machinery production. This area differs from the others because the demand in

equipment technology is lower than it is in the other areas. The equipment does not

have to be as flexible and high in performance as in EMEA; but the quality and life

cycle are not the qualities to bargain with. Even if requirements on flexibility and

performance levels are not high, the quality and expected life span for motion control

products, as well as for servo drives and motors should be at the same level as

elsewhere. This phenomenon has an effect on both local and international machine

builders who are supplying, or just about to enter the area markets. Another important

factor in Asia Pacific markets is that China, which is holding the markets for magnets, is

one of the growing countries in machine building and is able to control the supply of

magnets for the benefit of domestic use. In fact, controlling the supply may increase

prices in other areas but in Asia Pacific, prices are more likely to remain at the same

level, which sets challenges to international machine builders. The Asia Pacific markets

are predicted to rise 15.1 % in revenues and 17.1 % in unit supply from 2008 to 2015.

[11]

1.5.4 America

The American motion control market share was about 13.9 % in 2010 with 1.4 Million

U.S dollars. American markets started to recover earlier than the EMEA area with very

strong performance in sectors such as packaging and semiconductor equipment. The

first nine months of 2011 in machine tool sales showed that the sales increased an

31

incredible 80 % compared to levels in 2010. But in general the motion control markets

are predicted to rise 5.7 % in sales and 2.0 % in units during the period from 2008 to

2015. [11]

1.5.4 Japan

In 2010, Japanese motion control markets took 22.5 % of the total global markets and

gained some share back that was lost in 2008 and 2009. If the Asia Pacific markets have

their own nature, so has the Japanese market; the markets are totally dominated by local

suppliers such as Yaskawa Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, Fanuc, Panasonic and Sanyo

Denki. Japanese markets made a strong recovery from the recession and it was reported

that the first half of 2011 saw 40 % growth in machine tool orders. The Japanese motion

control market predictions show an increase of 3.2 % in revenues and a decrease of 3.0

% in terms of units from 2008 to 2015. [11]

If the growth in the Asia Pacific region was on a level of its own, the same presence can

be seen if the variable is changed into supplied units instead of revenues. The negative

growth of the Japanese markets suggest that the unit prices are going to rise per piece

because if the revenue growth is positive and unit growth negative the result is a higher

price per unit. In fact, even if the EMEA and American regions supply growth is

positive, the growth is so small that it means that unit prices are going to rise in those

regions as well. Asia Pacific unit supply growth is more than 17 % and almost at the

same level with the annual revenue growth. [11]

Picture 6. Predicted unit supply growth in different regions. [11]

1.5.6 Fluctuations in motion control

If economic growth was down during the recession in 2008 and 2009, so too was

machinery production. The machinery production rate varies enormously depending on

the global economic condition, and if we examine the years 2006 and 2007, growth was

extremely high. Recovery after the difficult years started in 2010, when the total world

output started to grow with 5.1 % average growth and machinery production growth

was 17.0 % simultaneously. In the previous year, 2009, machinery production

contracted by 18.9 %. The direction of the growth rate of motion control products has

been similar to the machinery production rate but it oscillates a lot more, making it

seem more vulnerable against economic conditions. In picture 7, a short period growth

rate comparison between motion control and machinery production is shown. [11]

Picture 7. Growth rate comparison for motion control and machinery production. [11]

One of the main, or even the best feature of the servo motor is that there is no need to

execute a magnetic field to start up the motor. It is started with concrete magnets which

are mounted inside the motor. If that is a benefit in fast movement and low reaction

times in the process, it can be an issue in component purchasing. The magnets which are

used in servo motors are manufactured from rare earth minerals, neodymium and

dysprosium and the markets are lead by China. The same materials can also be found on

other continents but the final price is higher due to legislation which makes the mining

of these minerals unprofitable. In fact, China has controlling position in producing this

rare material which in turn, has seen an increase in prices but has also prompted other

countries to find alternative ways of extracting neodymium. [11]

1.5.7 Packaging machinery in motion control

In 2010 the total GMC market was approximately 6.1 Billion U.S dollars together with

over 11 Million units and took a market share of almost 56 % of the total motion control

market. At the same time CNC motion control markets were smaller in revenues 4.8

Billion U.S dollars and in supplied units 3.8 Million. The much smaller unit supply in

CNC is due to higher average unit price. The higher unit price in CNC motion control

products is explained by the units used in the machine tool sector, which are very high

in the degree of technology. Both GMC and CNC motion control areas are predicted to

increase just over 6% yearly from 2008 to 2015. Packaging machinery requires more

motion control products than other machinery due to the large number of motion axes in

the average packaging machine. Sales of motion control products in packaging

machinery were 637,7 Million U.S dollars in 2010, where as the share for GMC was

636,7 and for CNC 1,0 Million U.S dollars. It is remarkable that in total scale the

packaging industry represents 6,3 % of the total revenues but under GMC products the

share is an impressive 11,0 %. The growth of motion control products in packaging

machinery is predicted as 10,7 % CAGR up to 2015. [10] The research shows that the

ratio in revenues between the stand-alone and multi-axis solution is approximately 55 %

versus 45 % on a global scale in all machinery. The ratio is leaning towards multi-axis

solutions according to the predictions, and after a couple of years, the ratio will be 50 %

for both solutions. The method of calculation for the single- or multi-axis solution is

that a drive is a single axis solution if each encased drive has its own electrical supply.

The definition of a multi-axis solution is that a drive DC bus has to be connected but the

power supply can be centralized or decentralized. [12]

35

1.6 Packaging machinery in EMEA and Europe

The market data, categorization and machinery cost structure are collected from the year

2007 and the values starting from 2008 up to 2015 are based on estimations. That is

why the numbers given in currency may not be applicable due to the recession which

started at the end of 2008. There are still available data with which to count the ratios

between different machinery types, the grade of automation, and relation between

different countries and sectors. In this chapter the main idea is to show the cost structure

in a packaging machine between different packaging sectors.

The packaging machinery market has been divided into nine market areas [13]:

Bottling line machinery

Cartoning machinery

Closing machinery

Filling & dosing machinery

Form, fill & seal machinery

Labelling, decorating & coding machinery

Palletising machinery

Wrapping & bundling machinery

Other packaging machinery

IMS research has selected five different indicators with which to predict market growth

because packaging machinery is spread over such a wide area, and therefore cannot be

predicted by using a single indicator. Two of the selected indicators were

macroeconomic and the other three were industry-specific projections. Macroeconomic

indicators were industrial and manufacturing output, and the other three indicators used

were growth profiles for the sectors: Food, Beverages and Personal care (toiletries and

cosmetics). [13]

36

1.6.1 Definitions for macroeconomic indicators

The industrial production indicator is the output of industrial establishments handling

mining and quarrying, manufacturing and electricity, gas and water supply. Industrial

production is an outstanding indicator because of its latitude as a yardstick of a nation’s

productivity and manufacturing output, together with the services surrounding total

manufacturing output. But the service part of industrial production is not related to

packaging machinery growth and has been taken into account. [13]

Manufacturing output is defined as a sum of intermediate, investment and consumer

goods, being a subset of overall industrial production. It only measures the physical

output of goods used in the production of other goods or those which are sent directly to

the end market. There is a direct correlation between the trends in the physical output of

goods and trends within packaging machinery production to manufacture these goods.

[13]

1.6.2 Definitions for end-user indicators

The food sector was the most extensive market area for packaging machinery in EMEA

in 2007. Food processing is closely tied to packaging machinery as when food

processing lines are updated, it is a common phenomenon that packaging lines are

simultaneously modernized. [13]

The beverage sector is close behind the food sector and is also tightly linked with

packaging machinery. In Western Europe, bottled water in plastic bottles is a trend that

drives growth in the beverage business and covers over 30 % of all beverages. Milk is

the second most packed liquid after water and has a share of over 20 % of all beverages

as well as very high predicted growth. The other two major beverage products are soft

drinks and beer, with a combined share of over 30 %. [13]

Personal care, toiletries and cosmetics is in very high growth speed according to the

predictions that assume that growth per year could be from 6 % up to 10 %. The

37

cosmetics sector is expected to be the broadest as a result of better life quality in today’s

world, which shows in usage of cosmetic products. [13]

1.6.3 Trends influencing the markets

There are many facts that drive growth either in a positive or negative direction in the

packaging machinery field. While focusing on the EMEA area, it is good to know that

Asia together with Eastern Europe are big players in packaging machinery due to the

rising standards of living as well as their increasing populations. Yet even today, the

market area of Asia and Eastern Europe is more focused on packaging machinery with

lower demands and lower prices. Low-cost manufacturing creates competition, and the

predicted revenues regarding units and volume are high even with a low margin

machine.

If a low-cost type packaging machine is preferred elsewhere, in EMEA flexibility,

reliability and speed are the key words describing the demands of a packaging machine.

The flexibility and fast changeovers of packaging machines have had a positive effect

on EMEA packaging machinery. The simplest configuration enables a company to pack

different kinds of packages with different dimensions with just one packaging machine.

[13] It is possible because a packaging machine can be supplied with very flexible,

increased levels of automation and the changeovers can be fast with minimum down

time [5]. This is becoming more and more important as packages vary but companies

are not willing to tie their capital to a wide range of machines.

Technological innovations are much appreciated in the packaging machinery business

and the trend is that the more a packaging machine is able to work alone without

external human work, the better it is for total productivity. A good example is of a robot

able to work without humane pauses with a very high work trace. Highly automated

packaging machines have numerically grown a great deal lately and that is why motion

control products, such as servo motors and drives, have become common in the

machinery. The mechanical part of a packaging machine has experienced an update as

well, and therefore many machines have been equipped with linear guides instead of

38

mechanical cam, lever and bearing assemblies. The reason for the changeover to linear

guide technology is simply that the machines need less maintenance without

compromising the quality of production or product being packed. [13]

Flexibility is in high valuation in packaging machines but so is functionality. It is not

unusual to find packaging machines that can form or fill different kinds of packages. In

the packaging machinery business, returns on investment enable the users to select the

best choice in regaining the invested money as soon as possible; so accordingly the

fastest machine is not always selected. Obviously, the speed of the machine is relevant

but when various product types need to be packed the total sum of different variables

are combined. These variables can be for example machine productivity, flexibility,

time to train users and maintenance time between production runs. Each of these

variables rates differently depending on the user but a general target is the minimization

of the ROI (Return Of Investment). [13]

Green values in packaging have increased the demands for the ability to recycle and

avoid extra waste. For example, in the dairy industry milk products using cartons as

their material have seen a shift towards PET packages due to the ease of recycling these

products. The package alone is not the only issue in green values, and the future will see

an increased concentration on the energy efficiency of packaging machinery. But even

if these green values are forcing packages to become as environmentally friendly as

possible, single portion packages are also demanding high interest. The reason is

different; a single-person type household has multiplied significantly in recent years and

such a household is a common user of single portion packages. [13]

39

1.7 EMEA markets in packaging machinery

OACE (Opportunities for Automation Companies in the EMEA Packaging Machinery

Industry) divides the packaging machinery business into two different areas which are

the machines sold in EMEA and the machines produced in EMEA. The bill of

automation of the machines sold to EMEA was not available. The data for the

automation share of the total cost was available only for machines which were produced

in EMEA. The total packaging sales revenues in EMEA are relatively smaller than the

total production revenues because only a small amount of packaging machines are

imported, except at the low end of the market where service is a less important factor to

machine builders. [13]

The total market for packaging machines sold in EMEA was estimated to be worth 10,3

Billion Euros in 2007 with a forecast of total sales being near 13 Billion Euros in 2012,

with 4,5 % CAGR. Total production of packaging machinery was 13,8 Billion Euros in

EMEA in 2007 with almost 200.000 pieces manufactured. Filling & Dosing machinery

was the product type with the highest revenue, the second highest was Closing

machinery and the third was Cartoning Machinery in both areas, sold and produced, in

EMEA. [13]

The latest study represents the total packaging machinery production in Europe & CIS

countries (not in EMEA) and comes to approximately 14,4 Billion Euros in 2008 and

13,2 Billion Euros in 2009. The total fall in machinery production from 2008 to 2009

was 25,6 % on average where the packaging machinery area suffered with less than 9 %

average drop in revenues in production. [14]

Packaging machinery is the fifth largest market sector in the machinery business in

Europe after material handling, agricultural machinery, machine tool and food &

beverage and tobacco machinery. European machinery in production revenues was

372,5 Billion Euros in 2008, 289,3 Billion Euros in 2009 and estimated to be 339

Billion Euros in 2010 and growing with 5 % CAGR up to 2015. If these sectors are

explored more closely, they expose that from the automation point of view, the

packaging sector is the fourth highest area in revenues. The total usage of automation

components in packaging machines was 2,6 Billion Euros in revenues in 2010 adopting

40

an 11 % share of the total revenues in automation components used in machinery

production in Europe. [14]

1.7.1 Packaging machinery markets in EMEA by country

The central and western European countries have a huge appetite for consuming

processed foods and beverages. In 2007, Germany was the most extensive market

region in EMEA with 2,8 Billion Euros in revenues which was followed by Italy with

1,8 Billion Euros revenue. The third greatest region in EMEA was the UK & Ireland

with total revenues of 0,926 Billion Euros. The largest packaging machinery production

country in 2007 was Germany with 4,6 Billion Euros, in addition it was the biggest

consumer, followed by the second largest producer Italy with 3,2 Billion Euros [13]

After the correction to the European Machinery production yearbook – 2011 Edition,

Italy was placed as the biggest European country in revenues in packaging machinery

manufacturing. But after revenue values were corrected, Germany still held the position

of being the biggest packaging machinery country in Europe.

41

1.8 Automation in Packaging Machinery in Europe and EMEA

The ratio of automation in packaging machinery has been in high growth, since

prices of automation products have fallen to a reasonable level and there has been

tremendous evolution in technology. It is very common that functions that were only

possible with mechanical solutions can be executed using electrical axes. A typical

example of a mechanical solution is the power-shaft function where several

components are connected to each other and the motion is synchronized. The same

idea can be implemented with modern automation components with the desired

accuracy, speed and flexibility. Actually, flexibility is better in solutions where

automation components are used because if the components are not mechanically

connected, a single component can be modified to make the desired motion without

influencing the other components and the motion is adjustable when the device is

running or stopped, depending on the type of automation used. Automation

components need fewer maintenance procedures but on the other hand, they require a

qualified employee for designing and commissioning.

A multi-axis solution is not just a single unit that can be placed into the machinery

and the button pressed for starting up the whole device. There are a lot of other

components related to the system, and for the reader, it is essential information to

know what the whole system might include, in addition to the multi-axis controller.

In picture 4 the typical multi-axis solution system is represented. Antti Kuusela’s

Master Thesis Determination of multi-axis servo drives system topologies 2011

presents a general overview of the system architectures focusing mainly on multi-

axis servo systems. [12] All the other essential components, except stepper motors

and stepper drives, are shown in picture 8. The typical architecture in picture 8 is

suitable not only for packaging machinery but can also be used in other machinery.

The multi-axis motion controller component is portrayed in red in picture 8 and as

can be seen, all the information inside the architecture is going through it.

42

Picture 8. Typical automation architecture in multi-axis solution. [12]

1.8.1 Typical automation components

A modern packaging machine includes many automated tasks where a user does not

have to do any physical work. Therefore, a lot of automation components are required to

create the motion for the designed mechanics. Packaging machines are able to receive

the packaged piece, form a suitable package and convey it forward to the next station or

to the next packaging phase.

According to Opportunities for Automation Companies in the EMEA Packaging

Machinery Industry – IMS, the description for automation components is divided

into the following components which are introduced briefly with a picture after the

description. [13]

43

1.8.1.1 PLC – Programmable Logic Controller

PLC is a microprocessor-based device used in discrete manufacturing for line and

machinery controlling. The common programming language used is IEC 61131

based and the devices are RISC-based. [13] A normal system includes a CPU

(Central Processing Unit), I/O’s (digital or analog input/output module) and a

fieldbus card. The main component is the CPU and all the other components are

options which can be added to expand the system. One CPU can handle 320 digital

I/O points which after the needed I/O’s has to be decentralized and at the same time

the same CPU supports up to four different types of fieldbuses [23].

Picture 9. ABB AC500 PLC with I/O and fieldbus options. [15]

1.8.1.2 Motor drives

A motor drive is a piece of equipment that can adjust the speed of a motor by

controlling the frequency [13]. Motor drives are used more frequently after the

development in techniques. The invention was released at the end of the 1970s when

a 5,5 kW drive was the width of a normal human being and nearly two meters high.

Today, a modern drive (or frequency converter) has significantly decreased in size,

now being a very small piece of equipment. A modern 5,5 kW drive is approximately

150 mm in height, 100 mm in width and 100 mm in depth. While the physical size of

a drive has decreased a great deal, the technical features have increased in many

ways. The most recent technical features in a drive are that they support many kinds

44

of fieldbuses, have some kind of integrated safety feature and the software can be

modified by the user. [24]

Picture 10. ABB ACS355 frequency converter for motor speed controlling. [16]

1.8.1.3 Visualization components

Visualization components are for example operator terminals such as HMI (Human

Machine Interfaces), displays that can show text and graphics and Industrial PC’s.

[13] HMI provides a practical user interface for machinery controlling. Usually a

HMI includes a touch screen or push buttons where a user can follow desired

variables and make changes to the configuration. Industrial PC’s are more

complicated equipment because they are able to control a full machine, including

several available options such as fieldbuses and I/O’s and in some cases IPC can be

used to replace PLC [12].

Picture 11. ABB CP650 control panel. [16]

45

1.8.1.4 Motion control

Motion control includes servo motors containing an integrated feedback device,

including brushed DC servo motors [13]. The range of servo motors is broad

including many options for feedback. The feedback is usually selected depending on

the need for accuracy, environment or price. The most versatile encoder type for

feedback is the multi-turn absolute encoder because it is extremely precise and the

shaft position information is genuine, even if the main supply is lost during the run.

Thus, it can be noted that the absolute encoder remembers its position permanently.

There are some weaknesses in absolute encoders because the principle is based on

optical activity, which is not as robust as the principle in resolver feedback. A servo

motor including resolver feedback can be mounted in harsh environments due to the

better duration in the resolver. The principle in the resolver is based on an

electromagnetic field surrounding the magnetic poles, and is therefore less vulnerable

to external threats [12].

Picture 12. ABB MS-servo motor series with resolver feedback. [18]

Fully enclosed servo drives with a single power output that can control the current,

speed or position of any servo motor are listed as motion control products. In multi-

axis systems each drive is counted individually. [13] A modern servo drive has to

have a position feedback because the repository is usually an application that needs

to be very dynamic and accurate. A servo drive can be controlled via fieldbus, pulse

train or digital or analog signals. [25]

46

Picture 13. ABB Microflex e150 servo drive with integrated EtherCat fieldbus. [19]

The remaining products under motion control are the stepper motors with or without

feedback, 2-, 3- or 5-phase, hybrid and stepper motors with an integrated drive. If the

drive is supplied separately it is considered a fully enclosed stepper drive or amplifier

for the controlling of speed and position in stepper motors. [13]

The fifth main component under motion control is the position controller. The

definition of a position controller is that the structure is PLC-based, PC-based or a

stand-alone type. In picture 15, a typical position controller provided by ABB is

shown. Usually a position controller is able to run several axes at the same time by

using I/O’s or a fieldbus. The power supply is not fed from the position controller but

the information on desired speed, position or torque is. A position controller is

connected to the drive which runs the motor. [21]

Pneumatic components, hydraulic drives and valves, mechanical linear & rotary

handling systems, machine-safety products, low-voltage products, machine-vision

systems and other automation equipment.

1.9 Cost structure of a packaging machine produced in EMEA

In this part of the research, the Packaging machine cost structure is introduced in

more detail and with the total cost of a packaging machine in mind. As described

earlier, the packaging machinery industry is divided into eight (or nine if sector

Other is taken into account) different sectors, and each sector is split into three value

levels; low, medium and high. All levels are examined separately with the same

indicators. There are five different indicators which are under exploration:

The total cost of a packaging machine

The total cost of motion control products in a packaging machine

The total cost of motor drive products in a packaging machine

The total cost of PLC products in a packaging machine

The total cost of visualization components in a packaging machine

These five indicators appoint how the business is split inside the packaging

machinery. First, the total average cost of a machine is introduced and the ratio of

automation, which is divided into the five equipment groups mentioned before. The

only excluded group is the group named other automation components. This group

includes components such as pneumatic valves, machine-vision systems and other

mechanical components and, for that reason they are not eligible indicators for the

scope of this research.

After the total automation ratio is introduced, the four most important indicators;

motion control products, motor drive products, PLC products and visualization

component shares are introduced in more detail. The ratio of the indicator of the total

cost of a packaging machine in a certain sector is indicated in Euros. After looking

through all the machine value levels and machinery sectors, the four different

indicator ratios are summed together so the total cost of these indicators can be seen.

According to OACE, the highest production cost of a packaging machine in the High

Value machines is in the Cartoning Machinery sector with an average price of

300 000 Euros per machine. The lowest machine cost at High Value machine level is

49

in Labelling, Decorating & Coding Machinery with an average of 100 000 Euros per

machine. The same formula continues in Medium Value machines where the highest

average cost is also in the Cartoning Machinery sector at 180 000 Euros and the

lowest in Labelling, Decorating & Coding Machinery with an average of 25 000

Euros per machine. In the Low Value machine sector, the highest average cost per

machine is also in the Cartoning Machinery together with Form, Fill & Seal

Machinery with an average cost of 70 000 Euros per machine and the lowest in

Labelling, Decorating & Coding Machinery with an average of 15 000 Euros per

machine. In general, there are four sectors which differ from the others with higher

machinery costs and these four sectors are: Bottling Line Machinery, Cartoning

Machinery, Filling & Dosing Machinery and Form, Fill & Seal Machinery. Each

sector’s average machine cost is shown in picture 16. The prices in packaging

machinery production are based on the actual figures of 2007. [13]

Four of the most relevant automation categories are collected from OACE and presented

in table 1. All categories have their own share in percentages for each packaging sector

but the source does not define how the share varies among different countries. The

shares are introduced in more detail in the next section. First the percentage of the sector

is introduced and then the share of the total cost in Euros.

1.9.1 Motion Control components in a packaging machine

The biggest motion control share is in the Bottling Line Machinery sector at all three

levels, Low, Medium and High, with the same percentage of 7,2 %. At the High Value

machine level, the smallest ratio is in the Wrapping & Bundling sector with 1 % share

of motion control products of the total cost of a machine. The position for that sector in

Medium Value machine level is the same, the low-end showing a 0,8 % share. Closing

Machinery is the smallest according to the percentage share in the low value machine

sector with a ratio of 0,7 % of motion control products. Picture 17 shows that the three

largest sectors are Bottling Line Machinery 14 400 Euros, Cartoning Machinery 12 000

Euros and Form, Fill & Seal Machinery 12 000 Euros when the total cost of motion

control products within a single machine are explored. These three sectors are the

largest at all three Low, Medium and High Value machine levels. The smallest at all

three levels is Wrapping & Bundling Machinery, where the total motion control share in

euros is 240 Euros in low, 720 Euros in medium and 1500 Euros in high value machine.

Wrapping and Bundling Machinery has the highest motor drive share at all three levels,

5,6 % in low and 3 % in both Medium and High Value machines. The share of Bottling

Line Machinery motor drives in the low value machine sector is only 0,9 % being the

smallest at that level. In Medium Value machines the smallest share is in Form, Fill &

Seal machinery. When the indicator is changed into Euros, the greatest sector in High

Value machines is Filling & Dosing machinery with 6370 Euros and the smallest

Labelling, Decorating & Coding Machinery at 1500 Euros per machine. As a matter of

fact, Labelling, Decorating & Coding Machinery is the smallest at all three levels and

Filling & Dosing Machinery the largest at all three levels. [13]

2. Methodology

In this study, market research and interviews were used to answer the study questions.

Market research was utilized to gain information required for investigating the multi-

axis solutions of packaging machinery in Europe. Market research was combined to

gain figures as precise as possible. Neither of the market research data used examines

the actual share of the multi-axis solutions. The interviews were designed in

collaboration with ABB staff and the main purpose was to gain up-to-date information

from the packaging machine manufacturers. One questionnaire was sent to ABB Italy,

the target of which was to expand the perspective by getting information from the

second biggest packaging machine manufacturer in Europe.

2.1 Research on the potential market share for multi-axis

solutions in packaging machinery in Europe

To arrive at an estimation of the future, and how to find numbers that could define the

markets for the multi-axis products in the packaging machinery, the existing research

data has to be modified carefully but with expectations to find out how much the

revenues could be in a certain sector and country. In the MPYB research the total

machinery production in Europe is divided into machinery business fields, as shown in

table 2. The revenues in table 2 for 2008, 2009 and 2010 are genuine and after 2010

they are based on predictions with estimated CAGR. Packaging machinery is

highlighted in light green. First, the revenues in MPYB were examined after 2010 for

the first half of 2011 with the result that the economy seemed to have risen slowly but in

November 2011, MPYB updated the estimation. The first prediction for 2011 and years

onwards from that point showed that the recovery was slow but the update at the end of

2011 made some corrections to the numbers. One essential point was that it looked as if

Italy was going to take first position in the packaging machinery business in Europe, but

the update saw the position fall back to second place after Germany.

Table 3 represents the total markets for automation products in Europe. The category of

Other Machinery has the largest share with an annual 6 093 Million Euros in revenues

for automation products. The Other Machinery category contents in the business sector

includes the following machine types; Commercial HVAC, Commercial, Service, Etc.,

Electronics & Electronics Assembly, Flat Panel Display, Medical & Scientific,

Metalworking (Excluding machine Tools), Mining and Oil & Gas.

The second biggest share in automation products in European machine manufacturing is

held by Machine Tools with almost 3 000 Million Euros in annual revenues which is

followed by Food, Beverage & Tobacco Machinery with 2 811,8 Million Euros and

Materials Handling with 2 745,4 Million Euros. The fifth biggest (fourth individual

sector if Other Machinery is not taken into consideration) share is held by Packaging

Machinery with 2 594,1 Million Euros and 11,0 %.

The aforementioned machine types are clearly the highest in revenues. The second

largest sector after packaging is Rubber & Plastics Machinery with 1 586,5 million

57

Euros in revenues being only a little more than half of the packaging sector. The update

in MPYB in November 2011 did not change the figures for automation or any other

products inside the Machine type sector.

In the theory section, the automation share was divided into different sectors with the

share in Euros and percentages for certain sectors in packaging machinery production,

which are based on OACE categorization. MPYB divides the automation sector in a

different way, and for further investigation these two ways are combined. The reason

being that OACE’s genuine numbers end at 2007 and from then onwards, the revenues

are based on predictions. Usually predictions provide a good starting point for closer

examination but after 2007, Europe and actually the whole global economy have

suffered a great recession, which turned the production curves steeply downwards and

this was not taken into consideration when the predictions were made.

Pictures 21 and 22 represent the automation categorization under packaging machinery

between OACE and MPYB research. The category definition in picture 22 is also a

58

general definition for the automation of all the machinery types examined in MPYB, for

example for Agricultural machinery, Robotics and every other type mentioned in table

3. Picture 21 is the definition according to OACE which divides automation into five

different groups where MPYB has done the same with six groups in picture 22.

As mentioned previously, OACE gives genuine numbers in revenues only up to the year

2007, which was followed by the great recession beginning at the end of 2008. MPYB

genuine numbers are valid up to 2010 and the predictions were updated in November

2011. From then onwards the numbers for further examination are taken from the

MPYB but the categorization for automation components is according to the OACE

definition. For 2007 packaging machinery production, OACE states that the total

production in EMEA was up to 13,8 Billion Euros and the prediction for 2008 was 14,6

Billion (CAGR 5,9%). According to table 2, production in Europe in the packaging

machinery business was 14,9 Billion Euros in 2008 showing that the economy has been

rising fast; exceeding even the OACE predictions. To verify that these two studies can

be combined, the comparison is made with the annual revenues in the packaging

machinery production business. The only defect in the comparison is that OACE

handles EMEA where the MPYB states revenues only from Europe. With the lack of

newer research for a deeper analysis in the packaging business, further predictions have

to be made using as up-to-date revenues as possible and existing data for the share of

automation components.

The share in packaging production for the Middle East & Africa is relatively small

because the OACE prediction for 2008 for the Middle East & Africa is 200 M€. The

total share in percentages is 1,37 %;

While the MPYB only looks at production in Europe, the share for the Middle East &

Africa has no great part in the total production in packaging machinery. In OACE

research, a certain component share in percentages in a machine is an average of the

total production, which reduces the value of missing Middle East & Africa. The

research (OACE) does not explain how the component share occurs by country, only

the averages per sector are available. In the later part of this thesis, the Middle East and

Africa, as well as every non-European country are ignored.

60

2.2 The combination of the studies

Picture 23 shows the description of how the share of the possible multi-axis market

share was explored for each country and packaging machinery sector. The starting point

was that the ratio for automation components in a sector and country was already

known but revenues were unreliable because of long-term predictions and fluctuations

in the economy in recent years. The total production of packaging machinery in 2007

and the ratio of automation in a specific sector are based on OACE numbers. After the

automation ratio in a certain country and of a certain sector was known, the share was

converted into percentages instead of Euros. The latest revenues were taken from the

MPYB which were multiplied with the shares of motion control products in packaging

machinery production in EMEA.

In MPYB the countries were divided more specifically than they were in OACE where

some of the countries were combined. In table 4, the countries are split according to the

OACE division and in table 5 the same principle is applied according to the division by

MPYB. In this research the countries were grouped by the MPYB definition, which did

not combine any other countries except the UK & Ireland and the Rest of Europe &

CIS. The countries that were combined in the OACE study, for example Austria and

Switzerland have been individually classified in the MPYB study as well as this study.

Table 5. European packaging production according to MPYB. [14]

To gain a deeper analysis of the possible share of multi-axis solutions in the packaging

machinery business, the sectors and automation components need to be clarified. In

attachment 2, table 1 the total production in packaging machinery in EMEA in 2007

based on OACE, and the total revenues for automation according to the Medium Value

Machine for each sector are shown. The share for Medium Value Machine was selected

according to OACE and the total share is shown in attachment 2 in the last row in table

1. In the same attachment, in table 2 is the share of individual packaging sectors in

percentages for each country. For example, Germany has the total production for

Cartoning Machinery of 667,8 Million Euros which is 14,67 % of the total packaging

production in the country. The total production rate can also be found in table 3; EMEA

packaging machinery production in 2007 according to OACE but without the sector

share. It is very important to know how much the production ratio of a country for each

sector is because the additional information is based on that.

Attachment 3 Total automation share in revenues is a summary of the total revenues for

each packaging machinery sector for all automation components. For example the 0,7

Million Euros in Austria Bottling Line Machinery is an outcome of the following

variables:

Sector share in percentages of the total production in a country (attachment 2, table 2)

multiplied with the Medium Value Machine automation ratio (attachment 2, table 3)

multiplied with the country total packaging production (attachment 1, year 2008).

Revenues in the attachments are reduced into decimals if the value is given in Millions

(M) or in kilos (k) Euros.

Attachment 3 Total automation share in revenues is the first sheet where the revenues

are a result of the combination of OACE and MPYB. In attachment 1, Total packaging

machinery production in Europe according to MPYB is divided into four different

categories as in picture 24:

Picture 24. Packaging machinery categorization according to MPYB.

In attachment 3 Total automation share in revenues the categorization for packaging

sectors is no longer by MPYB because OACE gives more specified information for the

sectors and the sub-definition for the automation components used in a packaging

machine. Only the total revenues from MPYB are investigated and used with the

multipliers taken from OACE. The same categorization was already introduced in

chapter 1.9 where the categories were explored with the main automation components;

Visualization components, PLC’s, Motion Control and Motor Drives. Picture 25

clarifies the packaging machinery production by dividing it into smaller sectors.

Picture 25. Packaging machinery categorization according to OACE.

Attachment 4, Motion Control component revenues, indicates the total summary of

motion control products in Europe in each country and sector. The revenues starting

from 2008 up to 2010 are genuine according to the MPYB and for 2011 – 2015 the

predictions were updated in November 2011. The revenues in attachment 4 are given in

thousands of Euros (k€) because of the better appearance instead of using Millions or

standard numbers. Revenues in attachment 4 are calculated with the following formula:

Average Motion Control share in percentages of the total automation share for medium

value machine in a sector multiplied with the total automation share in revenues

For example Austria’s Motion Control revenues in 2008 for Bottling Line Machinery

are calculated with the following variables:

The same principle is applied to all the countries and sectors using the Medium Value

Machine Motion Control share from attachment 2, table 4. The Motion Control part in

attachment 2 in table 4 is highlighted in green.

This section of the thesis explores the main automation components more specifically

and the most interesting part, the categorization of Motion Control, is expanded into

five sub-components in picture 26. The category of Motion Control is the most

interesting because it includes the components that are related to multi-axis solutions.

Obviously, the multi-axis solution includes many other components as well but the main

controlling components, excluding PLC’s, are located under the Motion Control

category. The Motion Control category is divided into Servo Drives, Servo Motors,

Stepper Drives, Stepper Motors and Position Control. In order to put the sub-

components in order of importance, Servo Motors, Servo Drives and Position Control

drives pass Stepper Motors and Stepper Drives. The reason for this order is that

normally servo products use higher supply voltage, which means greater power and

torque, making these components more important in a machine. The more important

components are usually performing more demanding tasks with very high speed and

accuracy. The nature of packaging machines is that the small components in power and

torque are normally performing supporting tasks which are not that significant for the

controlling of the whole machine. The sub-component Position Control is also a very

important part of the research because in multi-axis solutions the position control can

manage multiple axes simultaneously. Stepper Motors and Stepper Drives do not play a

great role in packaging machine controlling but of course they are also important

components, as in a multi-axis solution, a Position Control component can be the device

that controls those too. Despite the varying importance of the components inside the

Motion Control category, all the components are tightly related to each other.

Picture 26. Motion Control sub-components. [13]

The outcomes in attachment 5 Revenues for sub-components are shown in thousands of

Euros per year and per sector for each country. The basis for attachment 5 is attachment

4 where each sector outcome was an outcome of the Medium Value Machine Motion

Control share multiplied with the total automation share per country and sector. In

attachment 5, the five sub-components under Motion Control (Picture 26) are based on

the estimation of the possible share of packaging machines. The total sum of the five

sub-components is 100 % where the ratio of certain sub-components can be modified

with the limitation that the total sum equals 100 %. In electrical form, attachment 5 can

be used as a prediction tool to create a vision of potential revenues for the selected sub-

component in a selected country and sector.

The revenues were based on true numbers between 2008 and 2010 and attachment 5

continues with the same form. Revenues starting from 2011 are based on predictions

made by the MPYB. In the printed version of attachment 5 the shares for each sub-

component are given according to percentages in table 6. The share for each sub-

component is based on discussions with ABB staff. There is no accurate research

available which defines the ratio between sub-components. Therefore, the estimation is

made analyzing a single component’s price and the number included in a packaging

machine. The global market share of a single servo drive in all machinery was 55 % and

45 % for multi-axis servo drives in 2010. The definition of multi-axis drives was that

each drive is fed by a common DC bus and each drive has a unique output [12]. The

typical price for a 400 W servo drive sold in Finland is approximately 400 – 600 Euros

including a serial- or EtherNet-based fieldbus. The average power distribution in

quantities for servo drives in EMEA in all machinery is mainly focused on powers 400

W – 3700 W [11]. A servo motor with 1-2 Nm nominal torque including an absolute

encoder is worth 500 – 700 Euros per piece and the unit price of a position controller

can be as high as 1000 – 2000 Euros [26]. Stepping motors and drives are worth

approximately 10 - 15 % of servo products (50 – 90 €). The average size for stepping

products is just 0,3 Nm. [27] Table 19 represents the estimated shares for the sub-

components according to the given information. Table 6 is used as a multiplier for the

revenues in attachment 4 and the results are shown in attachment 5.

2.2 Company Interviews

Part of the data was collected by interviewing people who are working in a packaging

related business, in a company that produces packaging machines or in a company that

designs automation for packaging machinery. The interviewed companies were mainly

from Finland, excluding one which was from Italy. The Italian company preferred to

remain anonymous but allowed the use of the collected data. All the other interviewed

companies approved the use of their names and answers in public for the purposes of

this research.

Each company was asked to respond to 30 different questions which were composed in

collaboration with ABB staff supervising the research. The purpose of the questions was

to find out what the requirements of the multi-axis solutions are and what kind of trends

there are in the packaging industry. The interview was emailed to respondents who were

selected in advance by calling them and introducing the intention of the research and the

questions. The common feature for selected customers is that none of them are using

ABB products in their machines, excluding the company from Italy.

The interview was divided into two different sections with different questions. The first

15 questions were used to find out the current company policy on packaging machinery

automation. The remaining 15 questions were used to map out the future plans and

possible trends in the packaging industry. The aim was to gain a comprehensive view of

future automation in packaging machinery which is why not all of the questions were

related to multi-axis solutions. The questionnaire is introduced below. Only the

questions are introduced in this chapter. All the answers including the questions are

presented in attachments 6 – 10.

69

2.2.1 The current situation

The first 4 out of 15 questions shed light on the current solution and the possible

competitors for component suppliers. The fourth question yields information on the

used fieldbus without revealing the drive manufacturer. However, if the protocol is

known it is easy to equate with a certain manufacturer. If the Profibus or Profinet

fieldbus is used, the manufacturer can be equated with Siemens but if the EtherCat

fieldbus is used, the supplier could be one of many. Obviously Profibus and Profinet are

also available from other manufacturers but both being invented by Siemens make their

use natural. Other manufactures might use other busses in place of Profinet or Profibus.

Questions 5 – 9 represent the desired power in motor shafts, voltage, electrical

connections and targets for energy saving in the packaging industry. Question 10 – 15

clarify the main tasks of motors and used feedback devices integrated to the motor,

issues that a respondent feels unable to execute with the current supplier or by using

some other supplier. The last question, number 15, is very open in style and leaves

space for the respondent.

2.2.1.1 Questions related to the current solution

Existing concept in a packaging machine

1. The hierarchy of controlling products in existing machinery (PLC, servo

drives, drives and HMI) and the main suppliers?

2. The main reasons for selected suppliers?

3. What is/was the main reason for hierarchy selection?

4. What is the main fieldbus protocol in the existing machine?

5. The range of average drive powers, minimum-maximum?

6. Most used supply voltage for the drives?

7. Resistor or regenerative braking method?

8. Does your company or your customer have any targets regarding energy

saving?

70

9. Is the common DC supply method used in the existing machine?

10. The average number of motor axis in a machine?

11. Main type of feedback from motor?

12. Main tasks of the axes?

13. Are there any specialties in the controlling of the machine that other

suppliers are unable to provide?

14. Are there any desired features that the present supplier is unable to provide?

15. Anything else related to controlling and multi-axis solution?

2.2.2 Future

The purpose of the following 15 questions was to gain the latest information about the

requirements in packaging machinery automation and the possible solutions completed

with multi-axis systems. Any signals on future plans, trends and changes in the

packaging industry were welcomed information.

The first three questions clarify the possible architecture in packaging machinery

automation. The most critical components are the most interesting, so with these

specific questions they can be clarified. Questions 4 – 9 show the powers, voltages,

possible braking units, energy saving importance and possible need for regenerative

inverter supply units in packaging machinery. Questions 10 and 11 are the same as they

were for the questions related to the current solution. Number 12 can be considered a

very modern question, as safety really is an issue for the manufacturers today.

Nowadays the safety components, or at least some of them, can be integrated to the

motor controller. This is nothing new but it is increasingly important to know what

these safety features are, for example safe speed, safe stop and many others. Machine

safety is not dealt with in detail here but the information on desired features of the

future must be known when a manufacturer makes decisions regarding the next vendor.

71

2.2.2.1 Questions related to future solutions

Machines of the future or desired features under exploration

1. The desired hierarchy of controlling products

2. The main reason for multi-axis controlling selection?

3. What will be the main fieldbus protocol?


5. Supply voltage for the drives?

6. Is the common DC supply method a desired feature in the future? If yes,

why?

7. Desired feature for waste energy braking? Regenerative supply units?

8. The importance of energy saving in machine design?




12. Desired safety features integrated into the drive?

13. Programming language and method?

14. Are there any other desired features such as remote controlling?

15. Specific features of the multi-axis controller?

72

2.3 ABB Italy Interview

The interview was addressed to an ABB sales person in Sesto San Giovanni in Milano,

Italy. The ABB respondent is in charge of business in Italy related to the packaging

industry. Because the respondent from Italy is working for ABB instead of in packaging

manufacturing, the questionnaire was conducted in a different way. The following free

form questions were asked to gain an international perspective for the research instead

of just focusing on Finland.

2.3.1 Questions for ABB Italy

1. Trends in packaging machinery?

2. Italy’s packaging markets?

3. Multi-axis solutions in Italian packaging machinery?

4. Threats to ABB?

5. ABB potential in packaging machinery?

6. Free word?

73

3. Results

This chapter presents the results gained from the market study and from the interviews.

The market study formed a comprehensive table including 900 sub-component values in

Euros. The table can be modified in electrical form, but the printed version lists the

countries in alphabetical order. Section 3.1 includes the total potential revenues for

servo drives and multi-axis drives for the 20 biggest countries and sectors.

3.1 Results of the market studies

In total 20 countries were examined and each of the countries have 9 different

packaging sectors and each sector was further refined to motion control products. The

motion control definition included 5 different components and their share of the total

motion control value is based on estimation. Picture 27 exemplifies the methodology of

the process flow.

The results could be collected from 2008 up to 2015 but for this study the year selected

is 2013 due to the current time period, which has passed by the years 2008 – 2012 and

therefore is the first interesting period. The years 2014 and 2015 are also shown but the

order in the result tables is listed according to 2013. The second selection was the share

for components listed under motion control which were estimated to be in the following

order: Servo motors 30 %, Servo Drives 30 %, Position Control 30 %, Stepper Motors 5

% and Stepper Drives 5 %. The third factor, and actually a multiplier for multi-axis

examination is the ratio between single and multi-axis servo drives according to the

power supplying architecture. The revenues are displayed with 1 decimal place

precision in thousands of Euros. The 20 largest are presented in the results chapter and

additional information can be found in attachment 5.

Results from the market studies on servo drives (single and multi-axis) in 2013, show

that the largest sector is the Bottling Line Machinery located in Germany where the total

annual revenues for servo drives is 2 770,5 thousand Euros. The second biggest sector

can also be found in Germany and is Cartoning Machinery with 2 115,1 thousand Euros

followed by Italy with 1 949,7 thousand Euros in Cartoning Machinery. The first 14

positions are taken by Italy and Germany and the 15th

biggest country is Turkey, where

the total revenues for servo drives is 326,5 thousand Euros in Form, Fill & Seal

Machinery. In addition to Germany, Italy and Turkey there are only 4 other countries

among the 20 highest in revenues which are the UK & Ireland with Form, Fill & Seal

Machinery, 303,7 k€, Spain with Form, Fill & Seal Machinery, 296,5 thousand Euros

Rest of Europe & CIS with Form, Fill & Seal Machinery, 291,9 thousand Euros and

France with Cartoning Machinery, 268,2 thousand Euros. The first Nordic country on

the list is Sweden in 35th

position with 119,7 thousand Euros in revenues in Form, Fill

& Seal Machinery. Finland’s sector Other Packaging Machinery holds the 96th

position

with 22,1 thousand Euros. The last 7 positions are held by Greece with 0 in revenues in

the Wrapping & Bundling Machinery, Bottling Line Machinery and Palletising

Machinery sectors.

Table 7 shows the 20 biggest sectors and countries in descending order listed according

to the total revenues for servo drives in 2013. The order in 2014 revenues remains

unchanged for the first 13 countries and sectors. Turkey will overtake Germany’s

Palletising Machinery and Italy’s Labelling, Decorating & Coding Machinery in 2014

75

and 2015. The rest of Europe & CIS countries’ Form, Fill & Seal Machinery will pass

Italy’s Bottling Line Machinery in 2014 and Spain’s Form, Fill & Seal Machinery in

2015. Germany’s Palletising Machinery is going to pass Italy’s Labelling, Decorating &

Coding Machinery in 2015. The winners and losers are indicated in different colors. If

the position has gone up the revenue is indicated in green. If the position has gone down

the revenue is indicated in red. If the position is unchanged the color is black. The color

is also black if the position has increased or decreased but the final position remains

unchanged.

Total revenues for position control and servo motor components are the same for servo

drives, due to the use of the same 30 % multiplier. Position control and servo motors are

not indicated in separate tables in the results.

3.2 Results of the interviews

The following sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 introduce the results from the interviews of five

different companies in packaging machinery. Four companies were from Finland and

one from Italy. Company names are not published in this section. Two of the

respondents did not allow the use of their name in the research but the remaining three

can be found in attachments 6, 7 and 8.

3.2.1 Present concept

Three out of the five companies are using HMI as their user interface. One company

prefers PanelPC and one company did not mention anything about the user interface.

PLC was used in every company and one company mentioned the possibility of using a

separate motion controller in addition to PLC. Used fieldbuses were Ethernet

Powerlink, EtherCat, DeviceNet, Ethernet I/P, Profibus and one of the respondents

mentioned the integrated synchronous bus between devices. The most common

selection criterion for the present automation supplier was that the supplier is able to

supply all the components for machinery controlling. Price in used components was

important for one company, and one company mentioned the importance of a high

technical level in used components. The reason for hierarchy selection was not that

important but one respondent mentioned the flexibility of the used components. The

average drive power and motor torque varied between 200 W – 2000 W and 0,5 – 12

Nm excluding one company whose average power for drives was 5,5 – 7,5 kW. Four

out of five respondents reported that the main supply voltage for the drives is 400 VAC

and just one was using only three phase 220 VAC supply voltage. Three companies also

mentioned 1 phase 230 VAC. Possible waste energy is mainly fed to braking resistors in

all five concepts and excluding one, all others reported that the energy saving issue was

not important. Common DC-bus is a usual phenomenon as well as is the absolute

encoder integrated into the servo motor among four out of five respondents. The

number of used axes per machine varied from 1 – 20 pieces where the average was

78

approximately 6 – 8 axes. One report indicated that the present automation supplier is

able to offer something that cannot be offered by any other. All other respondents felt

there were no such tasks in the machines that other suppliers could not take care of. For

multi-axis solutions, it was a matter of importance that all axes can be accessed from

one point.

3.2.2 Future concept

One company reports that the future hierarchy could include PanelPC instead of using

PLC, which could still remain an option, while all others are satisfied with the existing

solution. The possible move towards multi-axis solutions could be brought about by the

tasks requiring synchronization or strict requirements in the program loop, accuracy or

repeatability. All the respondents reported that the energy saving issue, motor and drive

powers and fieldbuses will remain the same as they are within the existing concept.

Common DC supply is not an issue for three of the respondents and the importance of

energy saving is unanimously zero but the machines have to comply with particular

directives. The amount of used axes equals the amount in the existing concept excluding

one company in which induction motors will be increased in the future. In each concept,

the absolute multi-turn encoder is going to be the desired feedback in the future together

with STO safety functionality and public machinery safety directives and standards.

Ladder and structured text and all IEC-based programming languages are on the wish

list. Electrical and virtual axis function, memory card, remote access and CAM

functionality were the most desirable specific future features.

79

3.3 Results from ABB Italy

Trends in Italy are moving towards compact products in servo motors and drives.

Therefore, the newest entrant is an integrated servo motor and drive, with a wide range

of possible fieldbuses, IP65 protection. Another important issue is a common PLC that

can drive both: motion control tasks and robot. Together with up-to-date products a

vendor needs to gain admittance onto the vendor list before they can be considered a

possible component supplier. The customers (packaging machine manufacturers) are

often working together with system integrators who also commit themselves to the

mechanics of the final product. ABB has decided to approach customers with system

integrators. In general, the Italian packaging machinery markets have recovered well

from the recession being the second biggest country in European production. For ABB

the mission is to get their name onto the vendor list as their name is seldom associated

with being a packaging machine manufacturer. In general, small OEM companies are

more willing to change their automation supplier than larger OEM’s. Big OEM

companies are strong in certain areas and focus on manufacturing specific types of

machines and the update of components rarely occurs. A change in the supplier of

automation products requires a great deal of work including drawings, cabinet lay-out

design, programming, mechanical compatibility, to name a few which take the time and

money of the machine manufacturer. But smaller OEM’s live more for the moment as

they have to be more conformable with the smaller volume and they often search new

vendors for their machine components to differentiate themselves from the mass

production companies.

During 2011 and 2012, the markets experienced a huge growth but the first half of 2013

is predicted to remain steady with no ups or downs. The second half of 2013 is

predicted to see better growth but possibly not in multi-axis solutions. Multi-axis

solutions are not that popular because of the possibility of long downtime in the process.

Multi-axis solutions are vulnerable because if a single component is broken the whole

system collapses. Regenerative solutions are not interesting since the inertias in

packaging machinery are relatively small but in the future the directives might be

tightened.

80

ABB has a great portfolio with which to access any kind of industrial field but the

packaging machinery is a new business area for them. ABB is the last entrant which sets

challenges to plausibility. In addition to ABB, there are only a few suppliers who are

capable of providing such a wide range of components, including a robot. A packaging

line usually has a robot or several robots. Siemens being a multinational group is a very

tough competitor but they do not offer robots unlike ABB. Siemens is capable of

providing all other parts of the packaging line, including motion control and multi-axis

solution together with gearboxes, motor drives, not forgetting visualization components

and PLC. A lack of synchronous fieldbus is also an issue that reduces Siemens’

customer base as they only provide the ProfiNet fieldbus for motion control products.

The speed of the ProfiNet fieldbus is more than enough but the protocol does not

support synchronization in the same way as EtherCat, which is the primary fieldbus

type in ABB products. At least in Italy, the main focus area for Siemens is not the

packaging industry, even if the group already has many customers in a related business

area.

81

4. Analysis

This chapter examines results from the main research where the multi-axis solution

market was investigated. The latest information about packaging machinery was gained

through interviews. The reliability of the results depends on the method of

interpretation. A user can define the possible sub-components by replacing the

percentages. Sources were up-to-date and the interviews were conducted to real life

users. However, there is no guarantee of the final results being perfect but at least they

lead the possible business in the right direction. The only uncertain single result is the

total market potentiality for multi-axis solutions in a certain sector and country. A lot of

information was gained from the sources but there is not one indicator that could define

the exact amount of multi-axis controllers in a certain machine or even in a certain

industrial field. It is noteworthy that two different kinds of research were combined in

this study to find out the possible amount of multi-axes potential. The accuracy of the

results is also reduced because the research of automation components in packaging

machinery did not yield information on how the machinery construction varies between

different countries. Only the average production price was indicated. An example for

the Bottling Line: the rate of motion control products in a medium value machine was

7,2 % in every country in EMEA. That the same ratio is used in general over EMEA

could be disputed. It is very likely that an average packaging machine produced in

Finland would be more complicated than a machine produced for example in a less

industrialized country. Some countries can be called high technology countries and

usually high technology means more complicated but not necessarily more difficult to

use. There is no doubt that if the share of a particular category has changed during the

past few years the definition could also be expanded with a specific multiplier for each

country.

Germany and Italy are clearly the biggest countries in packaging machinery in many

sectors and the trend will continue if predictions hold true. In 2013 Germany holds 7

places on the top ten list and the remaining 3 are taken by Italy. The 10th

biggest was

Germany’s Labelling, Decorating and Coding Machinery, which was only 19 % of the

biggest. France’s Cartoning Machinery position was 20th,

which is less than 10 %.

82

Nordic countries are interesting of course but the first on the list is Sweden in 35th

position indicating that the potential markets are elsewhere in Central-Europe. Turkey

was a bright spot on the list, and actually it is predicted that Turkey’s CAGR in

packaging machinery is almost 10 %. Turkey’s estimated packaging production for this

year (2013) is 465 Million Euros, and if the growth continues Turkey’s packaging

machinery production will be almost the same as in France and Switzerland. A

remarkable issue is that in 2008 Sweden’s total packaging revenues were just under 500

Million Euros while Turkey’s total packaging machinery revenues were just over 300

Million Euros. For this year it has been predicted that Sweden’s total packaging

revenues will be 425 Million Euros.

The message gained from the interviews is that energy saving is not a desired

phenomenon. The reason is obvious. Packaging machine inertias are relatively small

when the amount of waste energy is very low. A regenerative drive is usually more

expensive than a normal drive that can only supply waste energy into the braking

resistor. Every respondent stated that they are satisfied with the existing supplier. Of

course certain points exist where the present supplier could improve their range of

products but none of the respondents were willing to move on to another supplier. The

received data of both parts; present and future, did not bring out any special

requirements that ABB is unable to fulfill.

83

5. Discussion and conclusions

This study verifies that a multi-axis system is not just a single component and therefore,

a lot of information is required from the other components that are strongly tied to the

multi-axis solution. The most difficult part is to estimate the component ratios under a

category. In this thesis there were 5 components that had to be defined.

The world of motion control includes many industrial fields where packaging

machinery is a big player. Predictions show APAC passing EMEA in motion control

products after a short period of time. But as mentioned in the research, the machinery

varies a lot between APAC and EMEA. In EMEA the machinery is more complicated

which results in higher unit price per machine and in a more advanced automation rate.

Packaging machinery is one of the fastest growing industrial fields in Europe. There are

several countries in EMEA that are growing fast, such as Turkey, the Czech Republic,

Hungary and Poland, which have almost the same annual growth level as in the

predictions on how motion control markets are developing in APAC. Still the potential

in those countries is relatively small excluding Turkey. For some reason the total

packaging production revenues in Poland were reported differently in OACE and the

MPYB. The latest update in the MPYB in November 2011 states that the total revenues

in Poland were only 36 Million Euros in 2008, while OACE reports that the total

packaging production was almost 200 Million Euros in 2007. It is not plausible that

such a drop in the total production occurred despite the hard years of 2008 and 2009.

Nevertheless, the revenues in the results are indicated as they were in the MPYB report.

The most typical automation components were introduced in the theory section. Despite

the fact that ABB is one of the few manufacturers capable of covering the whole

packaging line with their automation products, the market share for ABB in packaging

machinery is minimal. With the acquisition of Baldor Electric at the end of 2010 ABB's

motion control product offering was significantly expanded. Baldor’s merger with ABB

enabled the Group to compete with traditional motion control companies in not just the

packaging business area but also in many other areas. Baldor electronics is a famous

company in the Northern Americas, offering a wide portfolio of motion control products

in addition to many mechanical components oriented toward heavy industries.

The safety issue is of the utmost importance, and as mentioned in the safety section,

there are 10 different EN safety standards for each sector. Every packaging machine

manufacturer has to design their machines according to these standards. One of the

interviewees reported that their machinery has to be designed according to the EN415-3,

where the machine has to stop within 1 second of receiving the safety signal. These

issues are tightened all the time and are very important information for component

suppliers such as ABB. Another important feature of the interviews was that every

respondent mentioned that they would prefer absolute encoders instead of using

resolvers or pulse encoders. In the section where the most typical automation

components were introduced, the most common motor model from ABB was shown in

the picture but it does not include an option for absolute encoders. The motors with

integrated absolute encoders became available at the time when Baldor merged with

ABB.

It was a strange coincidence that a similar interview study was simultaneously being

conducted in Italy. This was discovered at the very beginning of this study after the

short conversation about the questionnaire’s purposes and targets. The main thing,

however, is that studies are constantly under work around the globe but at some point

they should be joined together to compare possible strengths and weaknesses.

Attachment 5 can be used as a tool with which to predict possible revenues for different

components. The printed version is only related to motion control products but with

slight modification it could be used with other categories. The tool can also be used

with studies related to other industrial fields. The electronic format of the work is left

for the client’s future use. The accuracy of this research can be improved by gaining

more information from different countries. ABB is an enormous international

organization and this advantage position could be utilized in the acquisition of

information on different countries.

The revenues in the motion control section and packaging machinery are mainly the

results of OEM’s production. Baldor’s merge enabled ABB to be one of the strongest

vendors with regard to its product range, but the fact remains that almost all large OEM

customers have an existing list of approved vendors for certain components. From the

supplier point of view, it is an opportunity in gaining acceptance of their products by a

certain OEM. However, the first projects usually take a lot of time and require a lot of

85

technical support in commissioning and programming. Therefore, the total income from

the project can be very low in the initial stages, and as mentioned previously, small

OEM’s are willing to change their suppliers more often than larger ones. For that reason

larger OEM customers are more attractive than smaller ones. A single success in

winning over a customer can mean that a supplier can gain a huge volume of component

orders for several years. The beginning for the automation component supplier can be

rocky when there is no income at all until the first customer is gained.

Form, fill and seal machines, for pasteurized products


1. The hierarchy of controlling products in existing machinery (PLC, servo drives, drives and

HMI) and the main suppliers?

A: Mitsubishi PLC controls the existing machine and we use compact and modular schemes in the

machines. A normal machine includes a HMI, few servo axes and few frequency converters. The

controlling data is fed from the PLC or from a separate motion controller. The HMI, motion

controller and servo drives are produced by Beijer and the frequency converter supplier is mainly

Vacon or Mitsubishi


A: The performance level with the present configuration is enough and it has been a reliable concept.

With a great volume we have been able to decrease the price level. One selection criteria is the

small size of the components.


A: The price-quality ratio is great and long experience with the present manufacturer saves time in the

programming and in the commissioning. At one time the main selection criteria was that Mitsubishi

was the only manufacturer providing fast counters and fast inputs integrated into the hardware.

The programming software was competitive in price and usability. We have an experience of

Siemens S5 and S7 logic controllers but Mitsubishi fits well into our scope.


A: A profibus fieldbus is used with few frequency converters but some of the drives are driven by

I/O:s. All components, like HMI’s, PLC’s and servo drives manufactured by Mitsubishi are linked

to each other via Ethernet. The target is to abandon profibus, but in the past it was the only

available fieldbus with wide range of desired features.

Attachment 6 (2)


A: Servodrives starting from 200 W up to 400 W. Frequency converters less than 2,2 kW.

6. Most used supply voltage for the drives?

A: 1^230 and 3^400 VAC


A: Elecster has been manufacturing machines with both methods. In the past mainly the resistor

braking was used but today everything is done with units that can utilize the waste energy and feed

the extra energy back to the network.

8. Does your company or your customer have any targets regarding energy saving?

A: Motors that fulfill the IE-efficiency class. EU, EuP-directive.


A: Elecster has done also printing machines, which did have the solution where DC bus was linked.

There are several drives after one supply unit.


A: Each machine has 1-3 filling units and each unit includes one servo axis and 2-3 frequency

converters. The total amount can be up to 12 axes.


A: We have used resolvers in the printing machines and pulse encoders in the packaging lines.


A: The servo drive is drawing the pouch to the desired length. Frequency converters are running the

sealing units, pumps, fans and film pulling rolls.

13. Are there any specialties in the controlling of the machine that other suppliers are unable to

provide?

A: The existing concept is rather old so there is no such a feature that drives over the other suppliers

or at least it is not an issue that a feature exists that cannot be found elsewhere.

Attachment 6 (3)


A: The present frequency converter model does not support any kind of safety feature and we are not

able to create a remote access connection.


A: The main controlling system has to be compatible with several types of data handling like that it

has be able to read temperature sensors and other messages that base on some kind of standard.

Attachment 6 (4)



A: A possible future configuration could be Panel-PC, PC or PLC and I/O has to able to decentralize.


A: If the axes are synchronized, or if the solution is position controlled or CAM-based application the

feature has to be integrated into the drive or into the main controller. The integration is a great

feature because of it can be enabled by using a ready programmed macro and the same unit can be

used if the application is changed during the designing. Our goal is to reach 1ms accuracy in

repeatability which drives the program loop time as low as 0,1 ms.


A: An Ethernet-based fieldbus which enables several features through the Internet. There are certain

desired characteristics like remote access to the devices, monitoring ability and the possibility to

send software packages by using the Ethernet connection.


A: Drive powers starts from 100 watts.


A: 380-500V 50/60 Hz L1, L2, L3, PE. A drive has to be suitable for different regions.

6. Is the common DC supply method a desired feature in the future? If yes, why?

A: No, the common DC with intermediate circuit connected to each other is not going to be in focus.


A: Regenerative drive units to feed the waste energy back to the network.


A: EU, EuP-directive and IE efficiency class in motors. It will be under same focus as it is nowadays

and the customers have not demanded any specialties according to the energy saving issue.

Attachment 6 (5)


A: The maximum amount of axes per machine can be 16. Some of the used axes are going to be very

simple from the controlling point of view. These simple applications can be pumps, fans and

conveyors.


A: Absolute multi-turn encoder.

11. Main tasks of the axis?

A: In addition to the existing axes the sealing is planned to perform with a linear motor. The linear

motor has to be very accurate and fast in the positioning and the movement ends with the torque

controlling to finish the sealing with very smooth surface. One filling unit includes 2 linear motors.


A: A normal emergency stop has to be possible to wire straight to the drive from the safety relay.

According to the standard EN415-3 it is required that a packaging machine has to stop during 1

second after the safety signal. It would make things easier if the connection could be straight to the

drive that includes integrated delay feature in input. Other desired feature could be that a safety-

stopped machine could understand to continue running until a certain task is finished. In general,

the safely limited speed would bring a huge help in the machine start-ups and stops when the speed

would be within the required level. Reduced speed in a machine decreases the needed safety level

and therefore some necessary maintenance functions, inspections and adjustments could be

adjusted during the machine is running.


A: Desired programming language could be IEC 1131

14. Are there any other desired features such as remote controlling etc.

A: One common control panel for each motor controller with an integrated feature that the software

can be accessed from one point. Future drives have to be equipped with a plug-in and plug-out type

memory unit for the software storing.


A: Electrical axes applications in drives and in PLC, virtual axis application with master-follower

feature. Other desired control methods could be; CAM, position controlling and speed & torque

controlling.

A: Hierarchy: HMI -> Ethernet/IP –> PLC -> EtherCAT -> servo drives. All components are

supplied by Omron


A: Since the beginning we have used ready-made solution provided by Omron.


A: -


A: The Ethernet/IP is integrated to the HMI’s so it is the most natural way to use it and

communication from PLC to drives Omron has selected EtherCAT for motion control fieldbus


A: Servo drives starting from 200 W up to 2000 W. In some cases even up to 3 kW


A: 50 % 1^230 VAC and the remaining 50 % 3^400 VAC


A: The present supplier doesn’t provide regenerative drives - > braking resistors

Attachment 8 (2)


A: No, we don’t have any. We have got one inquiry including targets for energy saving but

during the process that was left out from the priority list.


A: Yes, we use DC busses for drive supplying.


A: It varies a lot because of the wide range of machines which are customized quite often. But the

minimum is one and the other extremity even up to 20 pcs per machine


A: We have used resolvers in the printing machines and normal pulse encoders in the packaging

lines.


A: The axes are used in actuators and the motion types are usually linear and belt or chain

conveyors.


provide?

A: Omron provides a solution where it is possible to use the servo motor without a gearbox. With

the specified structure the motor is better in inertia ratio. The specified structure means that

the diameter is bigger and the output shaft is very thick. The programming environment is very

simplified excluding all unnecessary libraries which could be surcharged by other suppliers.

The programming environment is totally Omron’s own script.


A: Servo drives mechanical structure is not the best possible which occurs when the drives are

installed into the electrical cabinet. The brake controlling and NPN connections could be on

better level. Present supplier does not provide drives that could run two or more motors

simultaneously (Too many drive+motor packages). DC bus connection is not possible to use at

all and the connection of safety inputs is not good.


Attachment 8 (3)



A: The present hierarchy has been very good with the existing components and we are used to

design machines with that.


A: In practice we could use any sufficient solution for the multi-axis solution but there is no sense

to think other alternatives especially when the present package is enough.


A: We will keep the same solution. The constant feature of TCP/IP socket /UDP communication

enables the connectivity almost everywhere.


A: No known changes in drive powers at least in the near future.


A: The concept remains the same, 230 VAC and 400 VAC


A: Yes it is because we already use it. In the future we would like to have a common bus for all

related to drive main supply, auxiliary supply and safety wiring. It would enable easier

installation.


A: There no such an option available if we consider the current solution.


A: The importance level can be said to be low


A: Servo axes are going to be in the same level but the amount of induction motors is going rise.

Attachment 8 (4)


A: Absolute multi-turn encoder.


A: No known changes.


A: The existing solution supports: Safe Torque Off (STO), which seems to be enough in the

future, unless there are some new inventions that must be used in the machines. But at the

moment there is no need to expand the range.


A: Ladder and structured text programming languages seems to be fine for us.


A: Remote controlling that can record (camera or equivalent) events which causes harm on the

line, reporting everything to the PLC. The remote access to the main system. In general

everything is interesting what could reduce extra flights to the sites.

1. The hierarchy of electrical controlling products in existing machinery (PLC, servo drives,

drives and HMI) and the main suppliers.

A: We have many different configurations in different machines but a typical one for a aseptic filling

machine uses a main PLC with HMI to control IO, Point IO over Devicenet and/or Ethernet,6-10

servos or uses a secondary PLC over Ethernet for servo control over sercos optical interface.


A: Complete solution for the whole company with mass software licenses and unified programming

architecture, the Rockwell platform is flexible enough even for our biggest machines and provides

expert servo profile simulation and testing tools.


A: There is no certain history where the hierarchy is based


A: Devicenet and Ethernet


A: Usually the average powers are between 5 - 7,5kW


A: ±280VDC, 400VAC


A: Resistor and mechanical, so we use both, depending on the customer demand

Attachment 9 (2)

8. Does your company or your customer have any targets regarding the energy saving?

A: No, our concept is not designed to be as green as possible


A: Yes


A: 4-16 which means that the amount is changing according to the machinery type


A: Absolute encoder


A: many different, like form, seal, conveying etc.

A: Already available and implemented. There is no need make changes until the customers are more

demanding and if the current scheme is unable to manage desired requirements.


A: Speed and precision. Packaging machinery is very demanding in simultaneous movements with

high accuracy.

3. What will be the main fieldbus protocol in a machine?

A: Devicenet and ethernet


A: The trend seems to be that the powers are going stay at the same level 5,5 – 7,5 kW

Several types, not a focused sector




A: B&R automation centralized controlling is based on PanelPC with an integrated user interface.

Servo drives position controlling is adjustable through the fast integrated synchronous bus or by

using decentralized position control with servo drives. In decentralized mode the synchronization

between different axes is done automatically through the integrated bus.


A: The main reason is that the existing supplier offers a centralized controlling solution together being

able to deliver all needed components. The variety of available components is broad starting from

the simple PLC and continuing up to heavy-duty CNC controller. Our experience of the current

supplier is that the products are technically good.

3. What is or was the main reason for hierarchy selection?

A: The flexibility of the system, there is no need to do mapping for extra variables. Everything can be

done by using manufacturers programming software. The programming software includes program

editor, user interface builder and the parameter input for axis.


A: Ethernet Powerlink which is supported by the existing product manufacturer

Attachment 10 (2)


A: 0,8 – 12 Nm, ( 0,4 – 4 kW)


A: 1^230 and 3^400 VAC


A: The loss energy is automatically fed to the servo drives via DC bus. The drives are rack-mounted

including common intermediate circuit. The loss energy is supplied into 24 V system. In some cases

an external braking resistor is connected to the system if the loss energy cannot be feeded into

main network or if the main network is lost.


A: Not with the existing concept.


A: Yes it is because of the used product type B&R Acoposmulti


A: 3-12 pcs per machine, depenging on the machinery type.


A: The main type is absolute multiturn encoder with Endat 2.2 or 2.1 protocols. The price difference

compared to the other types is low.


A: Linear motor controlling, raketrack controlling and other CAM-based synchronized axes

controlling


provide?

A: A single project with one program code can include several hardware definitions. Different kind of

PLC products/hardware configurations can be used without changing the code. These PLC

products can be standard DIN mounted PLC’s, Box PC’s or Panel PC’s.

Attachment 10 (3)


A: The present supplier product range doesn’t cover a low cost servo motors and drives. The

incompatibility with other suppliers.


A: In multi-axis solution the present B&R product type is an effective solution with several integrated

features. Programming and parameterizing is done over B&R own controller where a user can

control all the axes from one the point. B&R servo drives are not possible to run with any other

supplier motion controller but B&R motion controller is able to run other manufacturer’s drives.

Attachment 10 (4)

Machine of the future or desired features under exploration


A: The existing hierarchy seems to be well working but the compatibility with other devices could be

better. There are certain encoders and sub devices that could be connected straight to the

controller.


A: Our projects are very demanding in speeds and communication and we are satisfied with the

existing 200 us bus.

3. What is the main fieldbus protocol in existing machine?

A: The fieldbus has to be Ethernet-based when the system becomes easier to connect to other devices

and it is not tied into certain commercial expensive and closed protocol.


A: The range is difficult to define by prediction, but the trend shows that drive powers are going stay

at the same level


A: Mainly 400 VAC


A: Yes


A:


A: The importance is low. The packaging machinery is not handling big inertias.


A:

Attachment 10 (5)


A: After moving into absolute multiturn encoders there has to happen something radical in the

feedback field before considering changing into another type.


A: In the future many hydraulic and pneumatic axes are going to be replaced with electrical

equipment’s. The price level in servo motors and drives has become more attractive in the past

years and if a section that is done with traditional way where the repeatability is low, it is not an

issue to replace it with a servo drive and motor. Roughly it can be explained that all you need to do

in commissioning can be done just by using a laptop to setup everything to make the machine run.


A: The existing solution supports: Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Operation Stop (SOS), Safe Stop 1

(SS1), Safe stop 2 (SS2), Safely Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Maximum Speed (SMS), Safe Direction

(SDI), Safe Limited Increment (SLI), Safe Brake Control (SBC)


A: We are open to all IEC-based programming languages and in addition to that we would like to use

a text based programming language for motion controlling programming.
