Cama Group
Molteno Italy
Cama group is one of the major italian production companies for secondary packaging machines for food, diary and petfood. For over 40 years, Cama Group has designed, built, delivered, installed, and supported advanced secondary packaging machines and turnkey lines all over the world. Application-specific mechanical engineering, custom-built & in-house developed robotics and cutting-edge Industry 4.0 automation architectures tightly integrate and combine to deliver the very best, fully optimised and fully connected packaging machines and lines available today.
Objectives:
minimizing application integration and development times
carrying out extraordinary maintenance and service operations in a simple way
being able to have full control of the system.
Full Siemens application equipped with
S7-1516 TF CPU
15 S210 servo axes
ET200SP Eco PN
TP1200 HMI
Motion control and safety part is managed entirely from S7 1500T CPU that permits to achieve all the requirements. Intellingent infeed application library speeds up software development and increases the productivity rate of the machine. The possibility to share the DC bus, removing additional electrical components, and the use of ET 200 Eco PN periphery permits an overall compact solution and helps reduce the foot-print of the machine.
The usage of a totally integrated engineering tool, the large amount of application examples and the professional, constant and reactive Support of Siemens were the most important players in this challenging project
