ACOPOSmulti devices offer the highest levels of efficiency and profitability for machines with electronic axis coupling by using a trend-setting performance design, mastering power failures securely, and providing maximum component density in the switching cabinet. The power supply modules provide optimal current consumption with their power factor correction and power regeneration mechanisms. Not only that, machines behave the same no matter where they are in the world thanks to the constant DC bus voltage that doesn't depend on the local grid voltage.

The integrated 24 V auxiliary supply module for the entire automation system allows grid voltage failures to be easily mastered without any lost axis links. Using torque motors eliminates the cost implications of drives that have mechanical imperfections like friction, elasticity, and mechanical backlashes.

In this way, B&R provides the most technically elegant and economical way to drive a printing press – from a single source. This in turn generates maximum customer benefits, minimizing waste and successfully providing maximum availability to flexible machines for smaller batch sizes in a cost-efficient manner.

Other highlights of the B&R product line include integrated safety technology with POWERLINK Safety, open communication interfaces, innovative I/O systems with IP20 and IP67 protection, and Automation Studio, the software tool for all tasks (sequence control, motion control, and visualization) that can handle the entire lifespan of a machine (project planning, commissioning, production, and service).

This powerful product portfolio, a comprehensive approach to solutions, and the flexibility to implement an optimal solution form the foundation of B&R's continued success in the print industry.
