Upper manufacturing
The upper manufacturing product line includes the most modern and advanced tools for the stitching department, to optimize efficiency, productivity and ease of use.
COM52 Programmable thermo-Folding machine
Forget knobs, spanners and screwdrivers, and concentrate yourself on your work. Sit down in front of the COM52\'s console and press the buttons to enter the features of your fold, adjusting the position of the creaser foot, of the guide and the lip turner, the photocells, the feed and the cement flow.
You can thus define 99 different folding styles in each feature and store them in memory. To start working, you just need to recall the requested folding style.
QUALITY
To guarantee high quality also with the most difficult operations, the perfect harmony of the folding members is matched by the accurate speed and feed length control, by the correction of the folding width on the curved edges secured by the lip turner, by the servo-control of the knife that guarantees clean and precise snipping also at low speed and in addition allows alternating the snips to avoid lacerating the upper while folding curved edges with reduced feed length.
PRODUCTIVITY
The rationalization of the internal mechanism, driven by a built-in COMELZ DC brushless motor, allows the experienced operator to reach high working speed (3000 rpm) obtaining a significant increase in productivity.
ADJUSTMENTS AND MEMORY
The operator gives the machine the directions regarding each aspect of the operation. Servo-controls operate therefore each working member adjusting its position and adapting its attitude as the curve of the component piece changes.
The features of each folding style are controlled by the machine\'s computer, which can store them in memory and recall them precisely. The operator can use 99 memory records to define each folding style in regard to the adjustment of folding members, the speed and the feed length for straight edges, internal curve and external curve, the amplitude of internal and external curves, the continuous, alternate or excluded snipping, the cement flow.
TECHNOLOGY
Decades of experience and COMELZ high technological level originated a machine that marks the achievement of new levels of performance, operational efficiency and productivity.
All this thanks to the application of thoroughly innovative technical solutions in each of its aspects:
- Folding members. The adjustment of all folding members are controlled through servo-controls co-ordinated by the machine\'s computer that brings them under the operator\'s dominion through the console and corrects their attitude as the curve of the component piece changes.
- Feed. Low consumption COMELZ DC brushless motor; free from the mechanical activation of the knife, it allows reaching a speed up to 3000 rpm.
- Knife. Activated by a servo-control independent from the main motor, it constantly allows clean and precise snipping, and alternated snipping as well.
- Cement. The twin-joint cement distribution system, driven by a servo-controlled pump, features a fixed cement pot and no flexible parts.
OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS
The following optional equipment are available:
- French style binding
- Roll-top
- Flat insole covering
- Leather-goods wide folding
Since 1943, a history of innovation
A long way
Founded in 1943, Comelz is one of the pioneers of that generation of Italian companies that was able to interpret the needs of a national footwear and leather goods market booming in that period and creating a shoe-machinery sector of international excellence. In the late \'60s, the company breaks into the market with highly innovative products and gradually states among the most important companies of the sector, taking also a leading role within the association. But it is at the end of the \'80s that Comelz is among the earliest companies to interpret a new industrial season based on the diffusion of CAD systems and numerical control systems, re-establishing its own corporate identity on a strong integration of mechanical technologies, electronics and software.
"... inspired by a kind of obsession: standing"
Among the "pearls" of the Italian industry
The results of anauthoritative researchconducted by the primary Italian newspaper publishing group RCS (Corriere Della Sera), places Comelz, the only one in the sector, among the top 30 best performing companies of the more than 14,000 medium-sized Italian companies, analyzed in the periods 2003-2007 and 2004-2008. "The position achieved by our company", comments President Alessandro Zorzolo, "is the result of a long running, summarized in three turning points: we were the first in our sector, to introduce the electronics, the first to provide ourselves of numerical control machines for the production, among the first, finally, to include informatics in our products. In essence, a company style developed over years, focusing all our activities, internal and external, on a kind of obsession: standing".
The branch office in Novo Hamburgo, Brazil
Towards the global market
The ability to always offer innovative products is also the result of direct contact with the markets. For this, Comelz is engaged in a process of internationalization that has already led to the creation of branch offices in Europe, India, China and Brazil, where recently arosed the new modern building inNovo Hamburgo, headquarters for the whole South America.
