Ferag AG: EtherCAT ensures fast, precise newspaper printing
Since the timeliness of printed news depends on how quickly it reaches the reader, the production of daily newspapers is continuously subject to extreme deadline pressures. The Swiss company Ferag AG, located in Hinwil near Zurich, specializes in the necessary conveying and manufacturing processes for further processing of newspapers that follow the initial printing process. Ferag has developed production modules with high-tech controllers for NZZ Print, the print shop of the 'Neue Zürcher Zeitung' (NZZ = New Zurich Times), equipped with Beckhoff CX1020 Embedded PCs, the TwinCAT software PLC and EtherCAT.
