Transforming robotics with a unified vision
Machine-Centric Robotics, open robot mechanics and open software platforms – these elements characterize B&R's global vision and provide new impetus for machine and plant engineering. With Machine-Centric Robotics, machines and robotics can be connected efficiently creating an integrated automation solution that increases performance and flexibility. The open delta mechanism opens up new possibilities to improve precision and mobility for particularly fast and precise movement sequences. Open software platforms allow close collaboration between machine manufacturers, integrators and end customers and create a dynamic environment that promotes innovation. Together, these concepts form the basis for automation that is not only efficient, but also future-proof and adaptable.
Machine-Centric Robotics
Machines and robotics collaborate seamlessly to improve performance and efficiency. Machine builders get their robots and machine control system from a single source. They need only one controller and one engineering system for development, diagnostics and maintenance. This lowers the threshold for those who want to implement robotics.
