Abstract
The invention relates to a horizontal form-fill-seal packaging machine in which a horizontal form-fill-seal packaging machine is provided a plurality of modules for carrying out successive stages of form-fill-seal packaging process, the modules being mechanically separate from one another and including at least one stepper motor drive, the stepper motors all being controlled and synchronized by a microprocessor. This results in a packaging machine which can be efficiently fabricated, installed and maintained and which can perform highly accurate, synchronized, high speed automatic wrapping.
