LAPP Australia has entered into a new partnership with Italian industrial automation and motor control leader, CMZ Sistemi Elettronici, to expand its comprehensive automation solutions for manufacturing and processing industries.
As authorised Australian distributor for CMZ, LAPP Australia will bring local industry solutions such as PLC controllers up to 99 axis per system, HMI panels, multi axis servo drives and motors up to 120 Nm (brushless, stepless, integrated servo drives and motors, stand-alone servos), gearboxes, peripherals and software libraries.
LAPP Australia is partnering with Italian industrial automation and motor control leader, CMZ. Pictured are CMZ’s multi axis servo drives.
“Australian industry growth is driven by industrial automation in manufacturing, robotics, aerospace, healthcare and electronics areas,” says Robert Lloyd, Industrial Automation and Networking Manager, LAPP Australia.
“LAPP Australia’s global partnership with CMZ will support CMZ’s smart servo technology portfolio to help Australian industry to continue to grow – for applications which require high precision, accurate positioning, and speed control,” he says.
Established in 1976 and headquartered in Vascon di Carbonera, Italy, CMZ is part of the Soga Energy Team industrial group. CMZ has a deep knowledge of many applications (including packaging, bottling, dosing, flying shear, labelling, printing, and cutting), and works closely with OEMs and system integrators to bring optimised solutions across the globe.
“The addition of CMZ’s motion control products allow LAPP Australia’s automation team to provide comprehensive industrial automation solutions. LAPP Australia can provide a large portion of automation equipment including industrial automation, motion control, switchboard products, cables, connectors, and accessories, all from the one source, backed by extensive local expertise and customer service,” says Lloyd.
Industrial automation and motor control
CMZ’s range of PLCs is programmable using IEC61131-3 CODESYS which includes motion, communication, and utility libraries created by CMZ.
“These motion libraries include complex motion tasks such as electronic cams, interpolation, and flying shears. Communications are based on common industry protocols including CANopen, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and RTU, OPC-UA, Profibus DP, and PROFINET,” explains Lloyd.
“Stand-alone servos can be used for simple motion tasks. These servo drives are equipped with a PLC and programmed using tool SDSetup using structured text, as opposed to network-controlled servo drives,” he adds.
CMZ’s specialised and advanced products fit seamlessly into LAPP Australia’s broader industrial automation offering, which includes:
- Industrial PCs, panel PCs and displays
- Gateways, repeaters, routers, and accessories
- Ethernet switches
- Wireless networks
- VPN remote access
- PLC and I/O systems
- Industrial HMI panels
- Safety
- Servo drives, motors, gearboxes, and accessories
- Timers
- Power Supplies
- Isolation amplifiers and signal conditioners
“CMZ product ranges will be available on LAPP Australia’s online store, with fast shipping nationwide. Our industrial automation team will be available for product and technical support,” says Lloyd.
