CAM ATTACHMENTS: CAM attachments with goods carton clamps use the sensors technology who automatically adapt the clamping forces towards the load.

The operator can, if needed, adjust the handling and load parameters, recalibrate the sensors and associate the opening ranges to the required pressure.

CAM ATTACHMENTS: Over the last few years, starting in 2015, we have been growing at an annual average of 15%. Unfortunately, in 2020, because of Covid-19, we had a setback in our growth process, which we hope to resume in 2021.
