Device for producing packaging comprising an independent mandrel wheel drive

A device for producing packaging comprising:

• a mandrel wheel with a mandrel wheel shaft with a central axis,
• a plurality of mandrels fastened to the mandrel wheel shaft, the plurality of mandrels forming at least one mandrel group, whose mandrels are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the mandrel wheel shaft,
• a first processing station which is arranged on the mandrel wheel and comprising a drive,
• a second processing station which is arranged on the mandrel wheel and comprising a drive independent from the drive of the first processing station,
• wherein one of the processing stations is a press and one of the processing stations is a folding device, and
• a mandrel wheel drive to drive the mandrel wheel shaft,
• wherein the mandrel wheel drive is mechanically uncoupled and independent from the two independent drives of the first and second processing stations,
• wherein:
• i) a drive unit is used as the drive of at least one of the first and second processing stations, the drive unit comprising an electric motor, a transmission, and a controller or
• ii) a direct drive is used as the drive of at least one of the first and second processing stations, the direct drive comprising an electric motor having no separate transmission and a controller,
• wherein in the controller, at least one time course of a moment of inertia is stored, and
• wherein a position regulation of the electric motor takes place by torque pre-control of the time course of the moment of inertia stored in the controller.
