Vertical bagging machine comprising two linear motors

A vertical bagging machine (1) comprising a film web (4) drawn off from a supply roll (2) by means of a draw-off (3), a forming shoulder (5) for forming the film web (4) into a tubular film (6), a format tube (7) for receiving and filling the tubular film (6), a longitudinal seal unit (8) for welding the longitudinal edges of the film web (4) and for generating a longitudinal seam (9) of the tubular film (6), a transversal seal unit (10) comprising two hot-seal jaws (11, 12) displaceable against one another for generating transversal seams (13) at the tubular film (6), a cutting unit (14) for cutting off the generated tubular bags (15) from the tubular film (6), a mechanism (16) for holding the hot-seal jaws (11, 12), and a drive (17) for displacing the transversal seal unit (10), wherein the drive (17) comprises two linear motors (18, 19), the first linear motor (18) of which is provided for a displacement of the transversal seal unit (10) in a first direction, preferably vertically (20), and the second linear motor (19) serves for carrying out a displacement in a second direction, preferably horizontally (21), to displace a hot-seal jaw (11) in this direction, preferably to cause both hot-seal jaws (11, 12) to be displaced against one another by means of a gear (22), wherein the linear motors (18, 19) are interconnected by means of a connection, and each linear motor (18, 19) consists of a primary part (24, 26) and a secondary part (25, 27), characterized in that the connection is a cross formation (23), the two beams (28, 29) of which are arranged transversal to one another, that on each of the opposite sides of the cross formation (23), always one part (24, 25, 26, 27), respectively, of a different linear motor (18, 19) is attached on a different beam (28, 29), that on each of the opposite sides, one guideway (30, 31), respectively, is provided in parallel to a beam (28, 29), that one part (24, 25, 26, 27) of a linear motor (18, 19) is attached to a stationary holder (32), and its other part (24, 25, 26, 27) is attached to the one side of the cross formation (23), that one part (24, 25, 26, 27) of the other linear motor (18, 19) is attached on the other side of the cross formation (23), and its other part (24, 25, 26, 27) is displaceable relative to this part (24, 25, 26, 27) and is connected with the transversal seal unit (10), and that on each of the parts (24, 25, 26, 27) which are not attached to the cross formation (23), at least one cart (33), respectively, is provided for displacing the part (24, 25, 26, 27) along a guideway (30, 31).
