Cama Group: expertise and technology for perfection in packaging

The global packaging specialist showcases three state-of-the-art machines and the digital access to the entire portfolio, where speed, flexibility, repeatability and OEE are the leading keywords. All the solutions are built to Cama’s demanding breakthrough generation (BTG) principles, which guarantee optimised flexibility, accessibility and hygiene.

Looking to CL169 continuous motion sideload cartoner, the latest machine evolution employs a new approach to cartoning that delivers enhanced repeatability and simpler operation. Ergonomics is also improved, resulting in easier loading, while more intuitive toolless changeovers support maximised uptime.

The control solutions from Rockwell Automation within the CL169 showcases Cama’s deployment of the new FactoryTalk Optix HMI solution, allowing the integration of servo-driven conveyor solutions, which use independently driven product-conveying platforms, for ever greater flexibility and agility.

The MTL (monobloc top loader) highlights Cama’s capabilities in non-food applications, the monobloc machine demonstrates carton erection, product grouping, carton filling, and carton closing, all within a single machine envelope. Improved ergonomics for operation, changeover and maintenance are visible here, too, with easier machine access, greater visibility and lowered carton magazines for easier loading.

The machine is one of the company’s flagship technologies, showcasing Cama’s in-house-developed robotic technologies – with no less than six RB002 and the new carbon fibre RB003 robot in action, where they will demonstrate a ballet of precision movement and perfect choreography.

Finally let’s look at FW748 wraparound case packer, one of Cama’s most popular machines with multiple orders per year. As well as highly effective case packing, this machine showcases semi-automated changeover capabilities, with HMI enabling the access to automated adjustments to machine dynamics and motion profiles, to adapt it to a different batch format or packaging recipe.

The FW748 also demonstrates core elements of Cama Group’s cobot-based MEP – Machine-Enhancement Programme. The automated carton loader (ACL) and automated case palletiser (ACP) on show are designed to remove human limitations and fatigue-induced slowdowns from pre- and post-packaging operations. The ACL and ACP systems integrate seamlessly with CAMA’s machine portfolio, are set for a separate purchase and couple with any third-party packaging machine, removing operator repetition, burden and fatigue. Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) are a core element of the MEP portfolio, too.
