In the Industry 4.0 era, mechanical reliability alone is no longer enough: the market demands machines that are able to communicate, adapt and prevent errors. Colombo Filippetti’s CFE is not a mere encoder, but an integrated control system directly applicable to the mechanism. Designed to transform your mechanical plant into an advanced mechatronic system, the CFE ensures total control of timing and the machine zero, merging the historical robustness of cam systems with digital flexibility.
CFE - Management software - The heart of the system
Why choose between mechanical reliability and software flexibility? The CFE is based on proprietary technology and architecture, integrating the following into a compact unit:
- Absolute precision: maintains position memory even in the event of a power cut thanks to the integrated backup battery, eliminating the need for manual reset procedures.
- Self-Adaptive algorithm: unlike standard cams, CFE calculates and compensates for electromechanical delays autonomously. It manages braking in real time to ensure a consistently precise stop.
- Distributed intelligence: functions as an independent control centre managing up to 16 virtual cams (digital outputs) for coordinating auxiliary movements, freeing up resources from the central PLC.
