Cardinal Health—a global company serving the health care industry with pre-packaged medical products—recently purchased a custom fill, form, and seal machine to enhance packaging of medical instruments in form-molded plastic trays with protective film covers. The Dublin, Ohio-based company found that pre-printed film being fed through the machine was straying from its desired position prior to sealing, resulting in mis-feeds and time-consuming film rethreading. The company’s operators had to constantly watch and adjust the web.
