StarterSET – Create the Finished Machine More Quickly

With the StarterSET, SEW-Eurodrive gives you a basic package that you can expand with customized add-ons according to the requirements of your machines – in a flexible, modular, and independent way. It’s good to know that this gives you options. You can base your drive and automation technology entirely on products from SEW-EURODRIVE, while still retaining your independence. Anything is possible and nothing is a must.

Your basic package – from start to end-of-line

Faster, more customized, and more flexible: True to this philosophy and following the idea of a model kit, with their StarterSET, they offer you a complete and perfectly adapted software and hardware package “made by SEW-Eurodrive” for the widest variety of machines. Regardless of whether your processes run continuously or cyclically, their automation package makes it easier for you to implement your machine solution – but that’s not all. The StarterSET also reduces the time you have to spend on configuration as well as the duration of your project, thereby reducing your overall costs (Overall Equipment Effectiveness – OEE).

Packaging machines cover a massive range

Billions of products, foods, and goods are packaged, transported, unloaded, repackaged, mixed, stored, recycled, sorted, separated, divided, or distributed on a daily basis. What’s more, regardless of whether we are talking about primary, secondary, or other packaging types, the variety is nearly endless. As a result, intelligent packaging machines have become an indispensable part of industry. Pack size, pack weight, product characteristics, and product volumes are crucial factors for the automation of these packaging machines as well as for their functions and motion sequences.

Simple solutions for your machine automation

Quick switchovers and frequent product changes call for a modular and flexible machine design. This applies to packaging machines in particular. However, many application and motion sequences are the same. They may not be absolutely identical, but they still offer an opportunity for simplifying things through standardization.

SEW-Eurodrive developed the StarterSET for this very purpose. This set consists of basic hardware and software components that are specifically tailored to and preselected for the respective machine type. The StarterSET can be used as is, as a basic package, but there are also flexible adaptation options and countless customized add-ons.

Automation – everything from a single source

With their MOVI-C®modular automation system, the Starter SET is endlessly expandable. The basic package therefore offers many possibilities for quickly automating a variety of machines and implementing automation projects fast.
