All the latest news and information about Quin Systems products http://www.quin.co.uk/News/index.htm Quin Systems has announced the establishment of a repair and migration service to support machine builders and plants using legacy 1300 and 1500 series IRT drives. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_legacyirt.htm Quin will be introducing a new compact, high-speed, case erecting and packing system at this year's show. This unique machine brings together the expertise of Quin and Endoline Machinery to provide a combined case erector and packing machine, to automate packaging applications that have not been possible until now. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_total07.htm Quin Systems will be demonstrating their new strategic partnership with Endoline Machinery at this year's PPMA show. This partnership provides a complete case packing solution that outperforms any other currently available, in terms of both speed and versatility. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_ppma06.htm Automating case packing, the last manual process on its production line, was proving a challenge for Northern Foods, the manufacturers of Fox's Biscuits, until a radically new case packer from Quin Systems provided a convenient and very cost effective solution. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_foxcasestudy.htm A versatile and exceptionally cost-effective choice for both standalone and networked motion control systems, the new QControl 2 two-axis servo controller from Quin combines high-speed processing and full support for IEC 61131-3-compliant programming with on-board Ethernet and expansion for fieldbus communication. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_versatility.htm Quin Systems, a leading exponent of innovative distributed control systems, is launching its latest development in motion control programming. Quin Logic Control (or QLC) takes the company's powerful motion control programming language, with many built-in functions, and integrates PLC functionality that meets the IEC 61131-3 standard. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_softplc_launch.htm It couldn't be easier! Quin have written a User Code Upgrade Wizard which automatically updates PTS programs for use on the latest QControl range. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_ptssoftware1.htm By making it easy to implement registration control systems which can operate at in excess of 100 metres per minute with an accuracy approaching ± 0.1mm - not just at full speed but also while running up to speed - the new Q-Drive intelligent servo drive from Quin Systems Limited dramatically reduces waste in converting, printing, embossing and packaging applications. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_cutswaste.htm Look at any automated production line in the food and pharmaceutical industries and you're likely to find one operation that is still carried out manually: case packing. Quin's new case packer can readily achieve 100 cycles per minute, putting it far ahead of conventional solutions. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_casepacker1.htm The cost of labour is well understood in all industries; as jobs are exported to low-cost countries, manufacturing declines. So what can be done to improve industry efficiency and reduce operating costs? http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_costeffective.htm The latest Linmot range of compact linear motors, which are supplied and supported in the UK and Ireland exclusively by Quin Systems, combine acceleration up to 200m/s 2 and operating speeds up to 4m/s with precise backlash-free operation and virtually unlimited life, making them an ideal choice for use in pick-and-place machines, packaging equipment, printing presses and similarly demanding applications. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_linmot(2).htm Quin Systems has introduced a mini QDrive designed specifically for 100-230V AC single-phase connection, for motors with a continuous rating of up to 4A. http://www.quin.co.uk/News/news_qdrive_mini.htm
