Format changeover

Minimotor FC Series Format Changeover Motors

The Minimotor FC Series has been specifically developed for fast, accurate format change applications in modern packaging, labelling and automated production machinery. Combining a brushless servomotor, gearbox and integrated drive into a single compact unit, the FC Series simplifies machine design while providing precise positioning and repeatable adjustment of guides, belts, barriers and change parts.

Designed for Industry 4.0 and 5.0 environments, FC motors offer remote parameter setting, diagnostics and monitoring capabilities, helping machine builders reduce commissioning time while supporting predictive maintenance. Multiple industrial network options and integrated electronics provide seamless integration into automated production systems where rapid and frequent format changes are required.
