Increased machine efficiency

The ACOPOSmulti drive family, developed especially for multi-axis operation, brings together a whole range of advantages for textile machine manufacturing. In particular, the devices can be equipped with various cooling systems, which means that they can be cooled optimally no matter how or where they are installed - even in the toughest environments. Because the servo drives are extremely compact, they can be installed in smaller control cabinets.

Trendsetter in textile machine manufacturing

B&R has many years of experience in the automation of textile machines. Many well-known machine manufacturers place their trust in the innovative strength of B&R products, and in doing so have increased their technological competitive advantage in their respective markets. B&R provides integrated automation solutions for all types of textile machines, and is therefore the ideal partner for those seeking a complete solution.

Safety

openSAFETY is a safety concept that replaces traditional safety wiring with intelligent electronics. Compact machine and line constructions are made possible thanks to the fastest safety circuit response times as well as the highest degree of flexibility in the design of the automation architecture. Implementation is easy, with maximum design freedom and a level of safety that cannot be topped.

Lasting value

As a partner of many machine manufacturers, B&R is well aware of the importance of long-term product availability for our customers. Through careful analysis and selection of all components used, B&R ensures that all products meet the highest standards for technical quality, reliability and long-term availability. It's this scalability and compatibility of the hardware that provides the foundation for reusability.

Networked production lines

Just like in sports, integrated production lines rely on the effort of the entire team. As a solutions provider, B&R has the technology to optimize your whole system. Real-time industrial Ethernet is the foundation for synchronized interactions between individual sub-processes.

24 hours a day / 7 days a week

The machine and system manufacturing industry demands availability 24/7. As a highly-qualified international partner, B&R offers intuitive diagnostics functions, remote diagnostics, open interfaces, and worldwide availability of all automation components. These factors ensure unobstructed production without unnecessary delay times.

Open and flexible architecture

B&R systems are open for standard communication interfaces, both at the machine and the ERP level. The same PLC software can be used in any and all devices - only the communication medium and the protocol need to be configured. Dynamic I/O configurations allow the same software to be used for different hardware topologies. The result? A cost-efficient and extremely flexible solution.

Total cost of ownership

System decisions are being made more and more with the total cost in mind. B&R supports their customers by ensuring a high degree of availability, uniform operation, a modular device structure, total system compatibility and a worldwide support network - a partnership that truly pays off.
