Trend-setter 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 total solution.

Safety

POWERLINK Safety is a safety concept that replaces the traditional safety wiring with intelligent electronics. The fastest safety circuit response times, combined with the highest flexibility in the automation architecture design, make compact machine and line constructions possible. These can be implemented easily, with absolute freedom in design, and with a level of safety that cannot be topped.

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 switching cabinets.

Lasting value

As a partner of many machine manufacturers, B&R is well aware of the importance of longterm 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. The scalability and compatibility of the hardware provide the foundation for reusability.

24/7

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.

Networked production lines

Just like in sports, integrated production lines rely on the effort of the entire team. As a solution 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.

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 pays off.

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 must be configured. Dynamic I/O configurations allow the same software to be used for different hardware topologies. The result is a cost-efficient and highly flexible solution.
