Technology and design for the beverage industry SACMI IMOLA S.C. (Imola, Italy;
www.sacmi.it) provides inte- grated solutions for the production and storage of preforms and caps, stretch-blow moulding, fi lling and labelling. Excellence in individual machines is combined with a unique capacity to “en- gineer” both product and plant, ensuring effi cient high performance from raw material to product storage. In 2013, SACMI launched the innova- tive, improved COOL+ cooling system, which drastically reduces both
process times and energy requirements while boosting quality. Installable on the entire cap-making press range, this solution ensures that CCM (Continuous Compression Moulding) units have the lowest cycle times in the industry, raising productivity by up to 50% compared to CCM standard moulds..
Foundry robots
Automation is becoming increasingly popular in the foundry sector. Where robots were once relegated to performing simple tending tasks, they are now used in process applications such as cutting, trimming, beveling, grinding, polishing and buff- ing. Sistemi Industriali Robotizzati (SIR) SpA (Modena, Italy;
www.sir-mo.it), a top international system integrator, has been
Automator launches Automator America Celebrating its 65th year of operation, Automator International Srl (Corsico, Italy;
www.automator.com) announces a joint venture that adds MarkFirst (Ashville, OH) to the Automator family. MarkFirst has been the sole North American distributor of Automator products since 1989. With the addition of MarkFirst (
www.mark-fi
rst.com) (renamed Automator America) as a direct US partner, the Automator family has grown to 18 joint ventures directly covering every major industrial market in the world. Automator is an innovator of high-quality impact presses, roll
marking and hot-foil
marking technologies since 1948. The company entered the
laser marking industry in 1989 and remains an
innovative leader with their low-cost A-Wave Technology. The addition of the MarkFirst line of dot peen, Vibro Peen, deep and scribe marking products completes the Automator line of direct part marking products.
Recirculating ballscrews The Umbra Group SpA (Foligno, Italy;
www.umbragroup.it) re- circulating ball screws are designed to solve specifi c practical performance requirements, such as high-speed linear axis, high acceleration and high-thrust loads. The practical scope, fl exibility and versatility ensure similar performance in other product lines such as spindles and milling heads. Umbra aggressively invests
involved in this sector’s evolution for years, delivering state- of-the-art solutions in iron and aluminum foundries as well as plants which process brass and other alloys. SIR systems are equipped with diamond and resin wheels, diamond discs, cir- cular or band saws, hard alloy or ceramic-coated face cutters, brushes, sanding belts and sisal and cotton buffi ng wheels. Diamond and resin wheels are important in trimming opera- tions. Resin-bonded wheels are generally used to remove large amounts of material, or for machining particularly hard special steels, such as those with high chromium content.
in research and development, as well as striving to continuously improve in areas from design to production. This has led to the production of integrated systems that are well-suited to dealing with complexity, fl exibility, cost effectiveness and reliability. The combination of mechanical and electronic components requires the merging of traditional ballscrew know-how with that of engine mechanics and electronics, thus leading to new achieve- ments in production and new business opportunities.
