Sealing Machine Redesign | Voler Systems

Voler did major rebuilding of the electrical system in a sealing machine for a new production line in California. In order to make an old machine suitable for use in the USA, 90% of the electrical parts and wiring were replaced. The PLC code was converted to a new PLC, and major changes were made to provide new features.

This was a challenging project, because there was very little documentation for the original machine. In order to check out the machine, Voler had to first determine how it should work and create documentation for it. Due to the tight schedule this had to be done after the machine was rebuilt. The schedule was met only by careful design and preparation that allowed the check out to proceed ahead of schedule.

The work was done on time, and we helped the customer obtain UL, OSHA, and FDA certification on time.
