Fromm Packaging Automation

Sector: Packaging

Our continuous quest for best performance begins by enlisting skilled component and systems suppliers whose expertise can optimise production cycles.

Swiss-based Fromm Packaging Automation, whose Italian headquarters are in Caprino Veronese, specialise in strapping and film-forming production machinery for a wide range of end users. Working closely together has enabled them to employ Camozzi’s innovative approach to solutions, to create a new automatic strapping machine for high-performance aluminium rims.

Needs

Instability and variability of the palletised load means that there is a requirement to manage specific variable points of the package with different pressures, whilst simultaneously carrying out double strapping. After this initial stage, a 90° rotation of the pack of rims is performed to enable a further double-crossed strapping operation.

The ability to create turnkey solutions complete with mechanical and electrical parts and control software, is the primary factor for choosing a supplier like Camozzi.

Solutions

To carry out the strapping phases in different positions, one of 2 machine heads moves between two arcs and thanks to 6 x electric Camozzi Series 5E axes, positioned 3 on each side to reduce the overall dimensions, the straps are applied.

The choice of the 5E electric axes has considerably reduced the overall dimensions and the cycle period, thanks to the increased movement speed and modular management of the acceleration.

These are just two of the parameters constantly monitored by the QSet software designed by Camozzi to manage the configuration of all products for electrical actuation in a simple, fast and extremely flexible way, from axes to electromechanical cylinders.

Results

Complete control of the movement and positioning of the opposing bayonets has also made it possible to optimise their closing, ensuring reliability and accuracy in a very delicate phase of the production cycle.

Comments Fabio Fraccaroli, Managing Director of Fromm Packaging Automation: “At Fromm we create solutions suited to the specific needs of each customer. We deal with all issues relating to the volume and irregular surfaces of a customer’s products and we provide each one with the best solution within our complete range of packaging machines, which includes strapping machines for plastic and/or steel straps and wrapping machines with film rotation on a vertical or horizontal axis”.
