Abstract – New modeling solution for the behavior of
packaging machines, and a strategy for maximizing the
production rate i.e. increase the speed of the cutting of label.
We have to change the power Transmission of the machine for
reduce noise of the machine as compare to the current noise of
the machine. The modeling solution for the behavior is
developed in existing Packaging(cutting) Machine, to
overcome some limitations of the machine. The synchronous
behavior of the packaging machine is also developed in power
transmission, From which the optimization problem is defined.
The result of the optimization shows that it is possible to
improve the efficiency of packaging machines with new
configurations compared to more conventional design. The
need for modeling synchronous behavior raises from the built
in nature of packaging (Cutting) Machines.The Necessity for
acommon model to be shared between different domains
creates a gap for synchronous behavior modeling. The
machine is used to cut the paper and small thickness of sheet.
Therefore there may be the chances of increase in production

future expansion by doing some modifications. Presently the
mechanism used has some disadvantages which can be
eliminated if we use modern methods of power transmission
