Max flexibility in a small space. IF315 by Cama Group

World premiere at Emballage. Cama Group will reveal the new IF315, a monoblock loading unit featuring the latest innovations recently introduced by Cama with its Break-Through Generation.

Since 1981, Cama Group is an international leading company whose core business is the engineering and the production of complete high technology secondary packaging lines for major multinational groups in both the food and non-food markets.
The company will be attending Emballage exhibition, showcasing its world best-selling machines but, aboveall, revealing the new IF315, a monoblock loading unit featuring the latest innovations recently introduced by Cama with its Break-Through Generation.
 
Seen close to. The most impressive features of this packaging system, integrating box forming, loading and closing all in one frame, is its extreme flexibility combined with an incredibly small footprint.
The use of a Cama Triaflex “Delta style robot” as a loading unit broadens the standard configurations usually feasible by Monoblock units equipped with 2 axis robots.
But the new IF 315 is not only more flexible, it’s also smaller. This compactness is possible because of the new forming unit which has an innovative cam system coupled with a brushless motor. This is accomplished due to the combination of the flat blank picker and the transporter, thereby using less space and improving the carton handling through an even more accurate positive handling.

The ergonomics and accessibility of the former (as ever strongpoints of the Cama system) have also been improved. The flat blank magazine has been lowered in order to facilitate the carton loading operation, and the cleaning and maintenance operations are simple.
At the machine exit, the innovative box closing manipulator ensures quick and accurate closing while providing greater accessibility in the closing area as compared to standard Monoblocks featuring traditional flap closing systems.

BTG: cutting edge. With the Break-Through Generation, Cama is moving another step forward in packaging system automation, renewing its extensive machines and robots portfolio by adding new features strongly demanded by the end users looking for increased reliability and efficiency.
The new Cama machines have no-hollowbody structures to meet the most demanding sanitary design requirements and quick cleaning operations.
All machines are “cabinet free”, thanks to on board drivers, remote I/O, and electrical and pneumatic components stored into the machine’s frame.
The machine’s frame is also used to store format change parts.
The BTG machines benefit from a very easy-to-follow visual machine management system, taking the user through the needed operations for each format change.
Visual Management is also used for preventive and predictive maintenance program. In combination with the HMI notifications, coloured lights help identify the targets, minimizing the required time for any machine intervention.
Last but not least is safety. The Italian company puts the operator’s safety first when designing a machine with no compromise. This is obviously true for the Break-Through Generation: all Cama Machines are classified Cat. Pld3, which is one level higher than the standard required by law.

CAMA GROUP IN BRIEF
Cama Group is one of the world’s most prominent packaging companies based on their innovative, quality and efficient secondary packaging systems, The Italian company is renowned for the Lean Design of its secondary packaging machines and robots combined with outstanding packaging knowledge, providing a unique machine range (Packaging Division) and robotic loading units (Robotic Division).  This combination of robotics and packaging machinery is the foundation of Cama’s integrated systems, handling of primary packages such as flow-wraps, bags, trays, up to the supply of final carton/corrugated packaging ready for palletizing. Cama engineers have been designing machines complying with TPM for the past ten years, reaching excellent results not only with technical solutions but in accessibility and hygienic design. Latest development in time, the Break-Through Generation machines, destined to impose new standards of construction.
