  • Patent number: 7866131
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vertical bagging machine (1), equipped with a first linear motor (18) for displacing a transversal seal unit (10) in a first direction, preferably vertically (20), and a second linear motor (19) for executing a displacement in a second direction, preferably horizontally (21), in order to displace a heat-sealing jaw (11) in the latter direction or to cause two heat-sealing jaws (11, 12) to be displaced against one another by means of a gear (22). The linear motors (18, 19) are interconnected (23) by means of a cross formation. Each linear motor (18, 19) consists of a primary part (24, 26) and a secondary part (25, 27).

  • Publication number: 20090301661
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) comprising two welding jaws (2, 3) that can be displaced towards one another in order to weld a formed film web (4) or tubular film (5). In said device, each welding jaw (2, 3) is connected to a separate jaw support (7, 8), preferably by means of a jaw holder (6). A drive (9) comprising two linear motors (10, 11) is connected to the jaw supports (7, 8) by means of a mechanism in order to generate an opposing jaw displacement. To achieve a compact construction for the drive (9), the secondary parts (13, 15) of the linear motors (10, 11) are interconnected by means of a magnetic shielding (19) and thus form a unit (20).

  • Patent number: 7036293
    Abstract: In order to be able to realize complicated jaw movements in a device for welding of a foil tube, comprising two welding jaws, which can be moved opposingly and clamp the foil tube between one another, whereby a linear motor is provided as the jaw drive, it is suggested that the gearing houses a cam plate connected to a movable part of the linear drive, that the cam plate has two separate curves, and that each one cam connected to a jaw carrier is guided along a curve.
