Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012101493A1] Apparatus to control operating units of a packing machine (1) suitable to complete organized groups of smoking articles with the required accessories, comprising a central wrapping wheel (13), to complete at least one organized group of smoking articles with a collar (6) and at least a second external wrapping sheet (8), the wrapping wheel (13) comprising peripheral reception drawers (14) and at least one or more of the following operating units (22, 25, 26, 27, 34, 37): movement means (9), positioning means (25), transfer means (22), transfer means (27) of the wheel type or linear, wheel type final packaging and wrapping means (34). Said command and control apparatus comprises step-wise servomotors (71) each provided with a position transducer and governed by a central command and control unit (100) of the programmable type and comprising programmable data and times base means (101) which contain information relating at least to one or more work cycles to be carried out, said wrapping wheel (13) being associated for the purposes of the control and command in a bidirectional and independent manner with the step-wise servomotor (71) of each operating unit (22, 25, 26, 27, 34, 37) governed by the central unit (100), the central unit (100) being configured to determine, for each pair (A, B; A, B l; A, B2; A, B3; A, B4) of step-wise servomotors (71) associated with the wrapping wheel (13) and the operating units (22, 25, 26, 27, 34, 37), a univocal and bidirectional dialog, said univocal and bidirectional dialog being assisted by the central unit (100) and involving the position transducer of both step- wise servomotors (71) involved, said univocal and bidirectional dialog serving, through the central unit (100), every other pair (A, B; A, B l; A, B2; A, B3; A, B4) generated between the wrapping wheel (13) and the operating units (22, 25, 26, 27, 34, 37).
