Camozzi Automation S.p.A.

The new Camozzi “Open Frame Controller” system is a platform for providing closed loop control of flow, pressure or position and is suitable for Industry 4.0 applications. The system is composed of two base modules: Master and Slave that individually may be combined following the application needs.

Base functions
Flow control by using pressure sensors and calibrated orifices
· The Master module used alone allows the creation of a two-way flow control valve in a closed loop configuration.
· The use of the Master-Slave combination allows the creation of a three-way flow control valve with the same performance.
Pressure control with a pressure sensor
· The Master module used alone allows the creation of two-way closed-loop pressure control.
· The use of the Master-Slave combination allows a three-way closed-loop pressure control.
Closed-loop position control for pneumatic cylinders with a position feedback system
· The use of the Master-Slave combination allows a closed loop position control.

System Solutions
All base functions may be combined to application solutions and communicate amongst each other via CANopen.

Camozzi Series PDV direct acting solenoid valve is available with several nominal diameters and in three different versions according to the electrical connection.
Moreover, the fluid separation membrane protects the medium from extreme changes of temperature due to heating of the solenoid.

• Suitable to be used with neutral or aggressive fluids
• Suitable for specific applications on medical and analytical equipment or instruments
• Compact design

Camozzi Series AP direct acting 2/2-way proportional solenoid valves, NC, with nominal diameters range from 0.8 to 2.4 mm, can be used where an open loop flow control is required, with gas mixtures, to control free flows or blows, or emptying chambers using vacuum.
Series AP proportional valves have been manufactured to optimize and reduce friction and stick-slip effects. The output
flow is proportional to the control signal. As they can work also in a vacuum, minimum working pressure is not required.

• PWM or current operation
• Open loop flow control
• Also suitable for use with vacuum

Several versions available:

• with body in PVDF (size 16mm only),
• with rear flanged bodies
• with lower flanged bodies,
• suitable for use with oxygen
• Seals in FKM, NBR and EPDM

The Camozzi Series DB is a modular and compact solution, optimising pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical connections — reducing installation times on machines operating in the industrial and life sciences sectors.
The concept behind the manifold gives multiple modules maximum configuration versatility, combining miniature solenoid on-off valves and proportional control valves.

Each single manifold is configurable in several ways to match the operating requirements of each handpiece installed on the dental units.
For example, with the proper configuration, it is possible to optimise the connections of the air and water tubing used for the operation with turbines, micromotors, scalers and syringes.

The Camozzi Series PRE proportional pressure regulator is equipped with a new technology, CoilVision®, which constantly monitors the operation of the solenoids in the regulator and prevents possible malfunctions. 
All data coming from the regulator can be transmitted wirelessly to the cloud, aggregated and used in order to view the operational efficiency of the regulator by means of a dashboard.

The Series PRE is available in two sizes and in different configurations, including IO-Link connectivity. As well as the standard options with and without display, there is a version with an integrated exhaust valve, which enables the system to exhaust even without a power supply.

A manifold version enables the control of several outlets with only one inlet, while a version with external sensor connections is available for applications where there is a requirement to monitor the pressure of aggressive gases or liquids.

The Camozzi 5V vertical electromechanical axis represents the ideal solution for applications that require vertical displacements as for example pick and place, dispensing, loading/unloading systems (plastic injection moulding, assembly, machining) or palletisers.
Available in three sizes, 50, 65 and 80, it can be used as vertical axis of a x,y,z gantry system or cantilever in applications that require to move loads for long strokes quickly and thus optimise the machine cycle time.
The new Series 5V axes are mechanical linear actuators with a toothed belt. Thanks to a specific pulley system with omega configuration, these axes allow reduction to a minimum the inertia of the system.
Furthermore, the presence of one or more recirculating ball guides (HS version) as well as of a special self-supporting square profile provides high stiffness and resistance to dynamic loads, ensuring a precise and fast displacement of heavy loads.

• High dynamics
• Easy to integrate into x-y-z systems
• Strokes up to 1500 mm
• Version with integrated shock absorbers
• Greasing nipples included
• Supplied with slider’s centering bushings

Strong locking for tough applications
Camozzi's END LOCK pneumatic cylinders are fitted with automatic mechanical end stroke locks which guarantee the safe and secure holding of the cylinder rod in both the fully retracted and fully extended positions. The locks activate and release automatically, without the need for external signals or commands and cylinders Series 63 comply with ISO 15552.

The automatic mechanical lock, therefore, makes the END LOCK cylinders Series 63 highly suitable for use in sectors and for applications where it is essential to lock the cylinder’s position, both to avoid sliding during long stops and in situations with an absence of air, for example in transportation, printing & paper and the woodworking industry. 

In addition, their capability to withstand external forces, that are much higher than the force exerted by the piston, makes the END LOCK cylinder the ideal solution for applications such as lifters, positioners and presses where a greater degree of safety is required compared to the more traditional rod locks combined with blocking valves.

CYLINDER VARIANTS:

The END LOCK cylinder Series 63 is available in different variants that enable its use even for applications in harsh environments or adverse working conditions. 

These configurations are mostly used in applications that require robustness and reliability, such as the transportation sector, especially where trucks or special vehicles are characterized by strong vibration, frequent changes in temperature or humid and dusty working environments.

Its automatic mechanical lock makes the END LOCK cylinder highly suitable for industrial sectors like printing & paper or woodworking, where maximum safety is necessary because of the movement of material through lifting, stopping or pushing processes. The integrated lock allows the cylinder to be used even in dusty working environments or in confined spaces. 

BENEFITS:

• Robust, Safe and Efficient
• Reliable and safe even under harsh environments: Robust design for high reliability
• Increased machine performance: Locking force greater than thrust force of cylinder (6bar)
• Reduced maintenance and set-up times: Reliable automatic locking and unlocking functions
• Reduced installation times: Locking/unlocking system easy to install and to use
• Functional machine upgrade: ISO 15552 compliant. Standard cylinders can be replaced with END LOCK cylinders

Camozzi Series 5E axes are mechanical linear actuators in which the rotary movement generated by a motor is converted into a
linear movement by means of a toothed belt.
The Series 5E, available in 3 sizes, 50, 65 and 80, is realized by means of a special self-supporting square profile, in which the components have been completely integrated, assuring compactness and lightweight.
