ncreasing demand for ever more powerful machines and increasing regulatory requirements, such as the Packaging
and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), are fundamentally changing the rules in the packaging industry. OEMs are under growing pressure to design packaging that is as small, material-efficient, and sustainable as possible, all while maximising space utilisation and flexibility. What appears to be purely a packaging
issue has far-reaching implications for mechanical engineering: such profound changes in packaging require new machine designs. This presents an opportunity to make machines even more compact, flexible, and energy-efficient while ensuring the highest level of precision. At Interpack 2026 from May 7 to 13 in hall 6, booth D50, Lenze will demonstrate how this increasing complexity can be mastered with well-engineered drive solutions, intelligent electrification, and engineering tools that place speed and simplicity at the forefront.
As a specialist in drive and automation technology, Lenze offers application-specific motion control solutions for the packaging machines of tomorrow. At Interpack 2026, the company will
show how the combination of in-depth application expertise and powerful servo and drive technology enables precise, energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions for every machine architecture – from sensorless control to drive solutions for the highest cycle rates. Open interfaces, integrated safety, and
end-to-end engineering also shorten development times, increase system availability, and ensure the flexibility that modern packaging machines demand.
With this drive system, Lenze offers a decentralised solution with servo-like performance. In combination with the Lenze i650 motec frequency inverter, the Motor Drive System achieves IE5/IE6 energy efficiency classes and supports machine optimisation through sensorless positioning and integrated regenerative capability – helping OEMs process sustainable packaging materials more effectively. Visitors will also experience how machine
architecture can be adapted flexibly and how high dynamics, precise motion and reduced hardware effort can be optimally combined for modern packaging machines with demanding motion profiles.
Another highlight at the booth is a delta robot demonstrating highly precise pick- and-place processes on two rotating tables, without having to stop them. Through rotary tracking, products are picked up and placed synchronously, eliminating unnecessary cycle times and maximising efficiency. This is made possible by Lenze’s ‘Feasible
Application Software Toolbox’. Known as ‘Lenze FAST’, this modular software toolkit enables machines to be implemented faster, in a more structured way, and with significantly less programming effort. The Lenze FAST Robotics Template used in the delta robot significantly reduces engineering effort by parameterising robotics instead of programming them. Users benefit from short cycle times, increased line performance, and a scalable system solution that ensures the highest level of process reliability.
A real eye-catcher at the booth is the Lenze
Jonglator. This high-performance motion control system demonstrates how powerful servo inverters handle complex motion requirements while remaining more compact than purely mechanical motion solutions. Thanks to Lenze’s open architecture, modular machines can be planned and implemented much more easily. Consistent functions and interfaces across controllers, HMIs and I/Os enable seamless integration. This means motion, logic, and HMI functions are executed reliably and in parallel, even at high cycle rates and with increasing machine complexity.
Under the motto ‘Motion enabled by Lenze’, the company demonstrates on a machine from customer Mpac how machine solution expertise creates real added value. The high-performance tray former processes up to 200 trays per minute and is therefore ideally designed for demanding production environments. An innovative rotary infeed concept replaces conventional pusher systems and ensures stable, continuous operation at high speeds. Reliable synchronisation and Lenze’s dynamic drive technology ensure this performance over the long term. As a result, Mpac’s tray erector is an ideal
example of sophisticated packaging solutions and demonstrates how the complete Lenze portfolio delivers high speeds, precision and consistent drive performance in demanding packaging processes. Another advantage of the system is that
it replaces conventional plastic trays with environmentally friendly cardboard containers. This supports the industry’s transition toward more sustainable, plastic-free, packaging solutions.
