The wiring process, from study to engineering for automation of packaging lines
A relationship consolidated in over 15 years of collaboration and strengthened, more recently, by the development of an ad hoc cable kit for robot applications.
Since 1984, ACMI has been synonymous of innovation in the field of automation of packaging lines, by virtue of multiple patents that, over the years, have traced new frontiers in packaging. In addition, the use of robotic systems has allowed the company to occupy a leading position in terms of performance, reliability, and durability of the lines.
At the heart of the wiring projects of ACMI’s machines, there is the ability of LAPP to respond to every technical request, according to specific needs. In detail, LAPP manages the entire wiring process, from study to engineering, working side by side with the customer’s team.
Proactive approach in advising and proposing
“We have been collaborating with LAPP for several years and, often, it is the end customers who request the use of its cables and accessories, universally recognized for their functionality and reliability” declares Stefano Maio, ACMI Hardware Production’s referent and Coordinator, who continues “In addition to the quality and wide range of products, the difference in choosing LAPP, as a partner for the wiring of our lines, lies in their active listening to our needs” and concludes “This translates always into an proactive approach in advising and proposing, on the basis of their experience, the most suitable option for each situation, with particular attention to both technical and investment terms“.
Wiring simplified on board of robots in palletizers and depalletizers with the qualified LAPP team
The qualified consultancy of the LAPP team has, in fact, satisfied ACMI’s need to simplify the wiring, on board of the robots used in the palletizers and depalletizers. In this sense, thanks to the ÖLFLEX® CONNECT family of pre-wired cables, LAPP has created a “made-to-measure” kit of ready-to-install cables which, in addition to significantly reducing wiring times during the assembly and disassembly of the system, always ensures correct positioning of the cables, preventing any damage. Among the solutions that make up the Kit, the cables for flexible applications of the ÖLFLEX® and ETHERLINE® Brands and the protection systems of the SILVYN® Brand stand out.
Increasing the demand for automation in the packaging industry: performances and flexibility
Finally, the kit also guarantees significant benefits for the end customers, thanks to the ease and speed of maintenance and replacement, activities that do not require line downtime.
“The demand for automation in the packaging industry is increasing: high performance and flexibility, combined with the reduction of downtime, are strategic elements. In this sense, manufacturers are constantly looking for innovative methods to increase the efficiency and functionality of their machines” says Gaetano Grasso, Head of Product Management and Marketing at LAPP, who concludes “We thank ACMI for the constant trust along a path of growth, which has seen the relationship between our two companies evolve and strengthen, from the supply of the first cables to the design and implementation of ambitious projects and systems for automation lines“.
