See ASTRRA at Booth 5025
A. S. Thomas, Inc. will be showing the ASTRRA automated change-over system.
Several applications as well as components will be displayed. A new application for cap handling will be demonstrated:
The ASTRRA Cap Chute utilizes ASTRRA micro linear actuators with an integral wireless control module to provide automatic change of radius and top guide height providing for handling a wide range of product.
The ASTRRA Cap Chute displayed handles caps with heights from 22mm to 70mm and cap diameters from 22mm to 70mm in any combination.
Come to booth 5025 to see ASTRRA in action and discuss how ASTRRA can be applied to your change-over challenges.
