Within the scope of increasing the reliability, the controllability and the speed of glass container forming machines and thus improving the related forming process, servo-electric drives are increasingly replacing pneumatically driven mechanisms that still represent the standard in IS machines today. This paper discusses the design and the results of an experimental unit of a fully functional servo-electric plunger mechanism, developed by Emhart Glass SA.
