The CMC CartonWrap DUO was unveiled for the first time during CID24, CMC’s annual innovation day, where it garnered widespread acclaim for its ingenuity and practicality. Now, CMC is excited to showcase this game-changing innovation at the upcoming LogiMAT Exhibition in Stuttgart and at the Grand Opening of its Tech Center in Atlanta on March 12th.

This groundbreaking machine leverages SKUs dimensions and thickness to automatically package items in perfectly sized boxes or envelopes, using continuous roll-fed corrugated material at a speed of 900 packages per hour.

“We are incredibly proud to introduce the CartonWrap-DUO to the market,” said Francesco Ponti, CEO at CMC. “This innovative solution represents a significant step forward in packaging efficiency and sustainability. By offering both box and envelope options on demand, we are empowering businesses to optimize their operations while minimizing environmental impact.”

Capable of packaging diverse items like apparel, electronics, and books, this technology ensures secure delivery. Its unique feature covers a thickness range from 250 mm to an ultra-thin 1 mm, revolutionizing manual fulfillment with jiffy bags. The necessary corrugated is directly fed by the new CMC Wave Line, an inline cardboard coupler integrated into our packaging machines that produces robust corrugated material on demand, effectively reducing costs and streamlining stock management.

This disruptive concept harmoniously blends sustainability and efficiency, cutting corrugated material usage by up to 50% compared to existing tech and requiring up to 70% less glue. It even produces envelopes that qualify for lower postal charges, benefiting retailers and 3PL. CMC CartonWrap-DUO streamlines warehouse operations, addressing labor shortages by optimizing product flow without requiring manual intervention or multiple machines for different package types.

Enhancing the customer experience has always been a priority for CMC. The new CartonWrap-DUO ensures items are well-protected during transit with minimal packaging, reducing delivery mishaps and customer dissatisfaction.

Packaging designed for home delivery guarantees a successful first-time delivery, a crucial element in fostering a positive customer experience. Missed deliveries or damaged products frequently lead to inconvenience and frustration among customers, incurring costs for both businesses and customers alike. By reducing the frequency of these problems, businesses can cut expenses associated with extra delivery attempts and returns, while also averting customer dissatisfaction.

Optional customization with CMC Packvertizing creates engaging, branded, full colour printed packages that create a memorable customer experience. CMC CartonWrap DUO automated process ensures accuracy in measuring, cutting, and folding boxes, reducing the need for manual intervention. It accommodates a wide range of items, adapting to each unique product avoiding to stock different types/sizes of pre-glue packaging. By creating packages specifically sized for each item, it reduces the need for excess packaging material such as void fills, minimizing waste and optimizing shipping space.

It operates at high speed, capable of processing a significant number of packages per hour thus reducing delivery times and support scalability with extra shifts.

Luigi Russo, CMC General Manager commented “With the new CMC Cartonwrap DUO we are not simply making changes; we are revolutionizing e-commerce packaging.

High-speed Doors for Production

Posted on by David Priestman

For almost 40 years, more and more high-speed doors from Efaflex have been reliably doing their job in the production of Wernsing Feinkost GmbH in Addrup-Essen/Oldenburg, Germany. And in all these years, both companies have worked with many ideas and in partnership to ensure that the installation of a door has become a success story with a future.

The production halls of Wernsing Feinkost GmbH are as dynamic as the relationship between the two business partners. Employees ensure that the pallets with packaged goods are directed to the correct transport routes. In other rooms, they carefully monitor seemingly endless production lines on which the deli salads are produced and packaged, which we soon be found on the supermarket shelves. Each production area is separated from the other by an EFAFLEX high-speed door. Today, more than 200 EFAFLEX high-speed doors are installed at the most varied of locations in the huge Wernsing Feinkost GmbH plant. In the course of their time together, what used to be a small food company from Addrup-Essen in Oldenburg has grown into a huge company that is now one of the most important employers in the region and in other areas of Germany.

At the same time, EFAFLEX has developed into a specialist and premium provider for high-speed industrial doors and exciting industry solutions. The application variants of the doors in the Wernsing Feinkost GmbH plant are correspondingly diverse: “They are designed for high loads and can therefore be found in almost all production-related areas. They are also perfect for separating automated areas,” explains Patrick Wehage. He is as Deputy Team Leader for Technology, responsible for the maintenance of all logistical areas in the plant. The EFA-SRT-MS Machine Protection doors, for example, ensure that employees are not injured on the transport routes. High-speed roller doors EFA-SRT separate different production areas from each other.
In addition to the possibility of integration into smart logistics processes and the resilience of the doors, the planners at Wernsing Feinkost GmbH as a food manufacturer also considered the tightness and pressure stability of the curtains to be important.

Conveyor technology controls door movements

Compared to other areas of the plant, it is relatively quiet in the new deep-freeze high-bay warehouse. Gondolas packed with goods glide quietly on ceiling rails through an alley to various doors. They pause for a moment in front of the Machine Protection doors, which open immediately. The pallets are then transported on roller conveyors to the locks in front of the deep-freeze warehouse.
“As in other areas of our plant, the conveyor technology and driverless transport systems control the doors here,” Patrick Wehage emphasizes a special feature of the EFAFLEX door control and immediately adds: “This deep-freeze high-bay warehouse is inerted. For EFAFLEX, for reasons of fire and explosion protection, this meant that every cable had to be routed into the warehouse in cable ducts.”

The doors on the logistics routes in the plant open up to three times a minute, i.e. 180 times an hour. “Due to their gentle movements, they don’t suffer a great deal of wear and tear. This is simply robust technology that even a layman can handle well,” says Patrick Wehage, who describes himself as an enthusiastic mechanical engineer. “Spare parts come quickly when needed. This is particularly important for our chilled areas.” Doors from other manufacturers? “Never change a running system. It works perfectly, period!”  A good sign for the future: the joint success story can continue.

Protection for man and machine

Thanks to their space-saving, self-contained design, the Machine Protection doors from EFAFLEX can be perfectly integrated into the required protective equipment. They stand out due to their extraordinary resilience and stability. The standard door leaf of the EFA-SRT-MS is fully transparent and comes with warning strips as standard. Colored, highly tear-resistant and laterally stable hangings are also readily available. All curtain variants are free of paint-wetting-impairing substances. The interaction of a powerful frequency converter control and a functionally adapted drive enables the very high cycle rate of up to seven cycles per minute in production processes. The doors are constructed in such a way that a weight compensation mechanism is not necessary, which allows for a narrow design of the side frames. This significantly reduces the amount of maintenance and wear and tear. A transparent cover offers a clear view of the integrated safety limit switch of Cat. 4 / Pl according to DIN EN ISO 13849-1. With the optional floor supports, the protective devices can be set up free-standing. Uneven floors are compensated by leveling screws.

Tailored Drive System Solutions

Posted on by David Priestman

ABM will present complete drive solutions for a wide range of intralogistics applications at the upcoming LogiMAT in Stuttgart (19–21 March) in Hall 3 at Booth 3B15. The system supplier tailors the drive solutions in close cooperation with the customer to his unique application and requirements – while maintaining a strong focus on ensuring sustainability and efficiency of the proposed drive package.

As a full-service provider, ABM develops and manufactures drive systems for stationary and mobile applications in all areas of intralogistics. In electric buses or trucks they are used, for example, for auxiliary units such as hydraulic pumps, air compressors and cooling fans. They are also installed in pallet trucks, forklift trucks and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) as well as in container and pallet conveyors, cranes and industrial doors. The system solutions consist of motors, gearboxes, brakes and inverters – selectively for mains or battery power supply.

Drive Components for Traction, Lifting and Steering

ABM offers all drive solutions for driving, lifting and steering of forklift trucks as a single source. The motors, gearboxes and inverters comply with strict environmental requirements, are safe and are extremely responsive for precise movements even at low speeds. One of the available drive options are the two stage bevel gearbox units of the series TDB. These drive units come with plug-and-play capability for easy integration and are both powerful and energy-efficient. They offer high power densities at optimum efficiencies. The compact series is available with manual or individual steering as well as with integrated electric steering drive.

The drive specialist will present the TDH series electric-steering hub-wheel drive units with inverters for AGVs, pallet jacks, cleaning machines, industrial trucks or track-bound vehicles. These units are compact, robust and capable of handling high static and dynamic wheel loads. For the motor control specific sensors that record speed, rotor position and temperature are included.

Driven with High Energy Efficiency

The wide product range includes induction motors as well as the sustainable and high-efficiency Sinochron motors. Because Sinochron motors already meet the requirements of premium energy efficiency class IE5, users do not have to worry about compliance with legal regulations. The synchronous motor has a compact design and can easily be integrated into systems. With the unique feature sensorless control, the inverter calculates the rotor speed and the instantaneous rotor angle from electrical feedback. With this data, the currents for torque generation can be fed precisely to the motor. The motor can be optimally controlled over a wide speed range with a high starting torque – without the need for expensive sensors.

The comprehensive product range also contains helical gearboxes with torques from 30 to 2000 Nm, parallel shaft gearboxes with 50 to 2300 Nm and angular gearboxes with 60 to 450 Nm. They can be supplied with flanges, solid shafts or hollow shafts. Also available are brakes and sensors.

Via an intelligent modular system, the provider can adapt the various gearbox configurations to the respective application and rapidly deliver a drive solution with high cost efficiency with regard to functionality and efficiency. ABM also offers industry-tailored concepts. For special applications, ABM can also develop completely new system solutions as partners in close cooperation with customers.

Integrated Drive System for Accumulation Roller Conveyors

One innovation example is the highly integrated drive system for accumulation roller conveyors. During development focus was placed on compactness, maximum efficiency and cost. Efficient and dynamic motors are installed as direct drives for small loads. For higher loads – such as in pallet conveyors – the drives can be combined with angular, helical or parallel shaft gearboxes. Added to that is an inverter series designed especially for intralogistics applications. This series is available in three sizes with power outputs of up to 2.2 kW and a high overload capacity of 250 per cent. With the series, ABM covers all common applications in container and pallet conveyor systems. And because most drives in intralogistics only operate at part load, the Sinochron motor with sensorless control are the perfect match.

Externally Excited Motor

An externally excited motor for e-mobility, which is still under development at ABM, is also sustainable and efficient. At its booth, ABM will offer an early look at the innovation, which is completely free of rare earth magnets. The good field weakening behaviour mirrors the torque/speed requirements for traction drives, because they can be controlled more efficient and variable. ABM supplies drive solutions for intralogistics as a single source. The customer receives a tailored, installation-optimized, highly energy-efficient solution for the given application. With this, ABM continues to pursue its goal of delivering high-quality, reliable drive solutions and as a partner supporting its customers with engineering and manufacturing expertise.
