F or over fifty years, D.C.M. has been a reference point for the packaging and automation industry. Founded in 1974, the company built its reputation on the distribution of paper folding machines, but over time it has evolved into a complete technology partner for machine manufacturers and companies operating in the pharmaceutical, paper converting, food & beverage, cosmetics, and logistics sectors.
Today, D.C.M. goes beyond simply supplying machines: it provides expertise, application consulting, technical services, and support throughout the entire lifecycle of production systems.
This partnership-oriented approach enables customers to tackle the challenges of productivity, flexibility, and sustainability that define modern packaging with greater confidence.
Autonox Robotics mechanics for packaging
Robotics is now one of the key pillars of automation in packaging and end-of-line operations. In this field, D.C.M. offers in Italy the solutions of autonox Robotics, characterized by an innovative approach based on controller independent robot mechanics.
The range includes Duopods, Delta robots from 3 to 5 axes, articulated robots from 3 to 6 axes, SCARA robots, and hygienic design versions, for a total of more than 350 available mechanical configurations. This modularity allows the creation of tailor-made solutions for applications in any industrial sector.
Thanks to controller independence, robots and production lines can share the same control platform without the need for dedicated interfaces. This approach offers several advantages, including the elimination of hardware duplication, greater freedom in controller selection, enhanced software integration, and full ownership of the solution.
At Interpack, it will also be possible to discover some of the latest innovations developed by autonox Robotics, presented as concrete examples of the potential of parallel kinematics.
Among these, the Delta RLL stands out, a kinematic design specifically developed for applications involving long tools. Its distinctive RLL design ensures extremely high rigidity against tool-holder tilting, enabling the use of very extended end effectors—such as multi-gripper systems which generate significant tilting moments during motion.
Another noteworthy innovation is the world’s largest Delta robot mechanics, featuring a working area of up to 2400 mm, designed to handle applications requiring large operating spaces and high payloads. Alongside this solution, a new Delta robot concept for close-proximity configurations will also be showcased, developed to enable compact, high-density installations within production lines.
These solutions represent a concrete example of the modular and highly flexible approach that defines autonox robotics: components designed to integrate seamlessly into machines and production lines, offering machine builders and system integrators maximum design freedom.
