Capability and Complexity of Packaging Machine Designs

April 14, 2011
The capability (and complexity) of packaging machine designs have evolved over time and use multiple power supplies. A Control Design reader thinks that upgrading to newer, higher-efficiency power supplies that his company has heard about would be a good option. He understands that overall machine power consumption will be reduced, but are there any drawbacks in terms of cost, heat generation, form factor, flexibility or other areas?
