KOMP ACT

In the global world that we live in, packages are everywhere, from mails, supermarkets, pharma to electronics. Grand scale packaging requires costly machines to assemble, fill, seal, label and code. KOMP-ACT wants to reduce the energy costs for the automation industry and its carbon footprint by up to 49 millions of tons of CO2 per year. Actuators, the parts in charge of moving and controlling a machine system are either pneumatic or electric. Today’s automated machine builders are unable to provide full electric solutions because of the high costs of electric actuators, large dimensions and weight. KOMP-ACT's ambition is to produce fully integrated electric actuators within the same price range of pneumatics ones, with the same dimensions and lightweight.
