Smart Molding International 1-2022

36 peripherals & automation smart_molding international 1/2022 W hen you have to deal with long production lines fea - tured by vertical excursions, made of different workstations, in turn crossed by semi-finished products, or a challenging space-constraining layout, the Cartesian system is undoubtedly your best option, as it guarantees max - imum results and performance where the application requires a linear move - ment over an extended working area. Such a condition is typical of many ap - plication fields, such as food & beverage packaging, automotive and painting. Cartesian robot also allows to unload the product longitudinally and to install the IMMs in a parallel position in order to drastically reduce the footprint on the ground. Their linear movements are much easier to manage and their features are more suitable for many technologies. For example, when deal - ing with Pick and Place applications, the linear axes of a Cartesian robot allow faster and more precise move - ments that significantly reduce the IMM interlock time while maximizing the production efficiency. Campetella offers a wide range of high-speed Cartesian robots, which combine the benefits typical of a top-entry with the performance of a side-entry. In this regard, the best-seller GS2 X-Series top-entry robot is definitely worthmentioning. An uncompromising model for ultra-fast take-out applica - tions, designed for the food-packaging world with solutions and materials that are more typical of the motorsport in - dustry rather than classic automation. Thanks to its innovative materials such as carbon fiber and to the most ad - vanced Finite Element Method (FEM) techniques, Campetella specialists has succeeded in obtaining highly opti - mized structures. Guess what! They have achieved class-leading accelera - tions for extremely low cycle times, low vibrations and the highest reliability. Solid ground stands, ultra-light mov - ing parts and powerful servomotors outline the construction philosophy of Choosing the right robot for specific production needs: each production process is different; the greater its complexity, the higher the resulting costs. That is why it is so important to find the right automation solution. Campetella Cartesian robots All pictures: Campetella
