Plug-and-play SCARA robots join B&R Codian lineup

explains Dario Rovelli, B&R's global product group manager for mechatronics. "That means no extra controllers, no engineering silos – just one seamless system from transport to handling. All thinking and acting [...] Brandstetter, B&R product manager for robotics. "It's about empowering engineers to focus on machine performance and product quality – not on bridging technical gaps between systems." Unifying machine and [...] particularly easy to install on a small footprint alongside linear and planar product transport systems and handle payloads ranging from 3-65 kilograms with exceptionally high repeatability. The Codian

Medical Devices

With track systems and 6D technology, customers can save up to 50% of cleanroom area maximizing space efficiency. Certified mapp Technology software modules simplify audit trails, user management, and alarm [...] alarm systems, which streamline the GAMP 5 validation process. Machines feature a modular design, so customers can easily expand their system capabilities with additional modules whenever needed. Benefits [...] We provide machine builders and manufacturers with the technological foundation for production systems that can handle product changes "on the fly" and eliminate errors before they occur. The result:

How to build a battery production superhighway

the race is on for battery producers to meet the sharp in-crease in production capacity while also managing the challenges of cost, quality and innovation," says B&R CEO Joerg Theis. "We're talking about [...] backbone of B&R's solutions for battery production is formed by its intelligent product transport systems. By moving each battery cell independently with variable speed, spacing and processing, it becomes [...] individual production steps by as much as 90%. Visitors can see live how B&R's product transport systems, Codian robot mechanics and machine vision cameras all work together seamlessly. Hard real-time

Safety+ makes functional safety more productive

with an open programming system for the first time, allowing them to use familiar advanced tools and methods from standard programming," explains Franz Kaufleitner, Product Manager for Safety at B&R, ABB's [...] small revolution in safety function programming." Previously, encrypted proprietary file systems were used in systems for engineering functional safety applications. While these protected applications from [...] what was changed, when and by whom is completely transparent. What´s new in safety programming systems is that this metadata doesn't only reference the complete safety application. Engineers can now track

In perfect harmony

data is used for predictive maintenance, fault documentation, remote maintenance systems and more. Dr. Georg Wünsch Managing Director, machineering GmbH & Co. KG "Our iPhysics simulation software provides [...] does simulation play in building plants and machinery? "The answer is simple," says B&R's product manager for simulation, Isabella Laasch. "It's a key that unlocks efficiency at every phase in a machine's [...] operation, the behavior of the machine needs to be tested and adapted. Doing that on a real physical system can be costly, time consuming or, in many cases, simply impossible. Finding flaws: The sooner the

"They will complement each other"

which diagnostics data should be displayed for each type of fault, such as a timeout. The error code that is output for a given fault type is always the same, regardless of which control system is used [...] Safety – enables safety communication in OPC UA networks. We sat down with B&R's head of product management for safety technology, Franz Kaufleitner, to learn what the new standard has to offer and what [...] practice? Kaufleitner: Both technologies are based on the black channel principle. So, in the B&R system, both openSAFETY and OPC UA Safety use the same, proven POWERLINK and OPC UA over TSN network resources

Good automation runs deep

extended communication network Interfaces for external automation components An updated diagnostics and maintenance system As its partner for upgrading the automation architecture, Bauer relied on B&R. "We've [...] allows us to seamlessly capture all the necessary data and transfer it to the HMI and data management systems without having to define or implement all the different interfaces ourselves," praises Schirmel [...] Powerful, open architecture Comprehensive connectivity Consistent data management and seamless data storage Lothar Schirmel Group Manager - Electronics, Automation & Controls for Maritime Technologies and

B&R adds HART modules to the X20 I/O series

Data transmission, configuration and diagnostics of field devices B&R now includes an analog HART input module and a HART output module in their successful series of X20 communication modules. These new [...] comparatively slow HART channels are not encumbered further by multiplexing, as is common in many other systems. HART modules in the X20 series also provide burst mode support, include multidrop functionality

Safety for mobile machines

means implementing things like fail-safe drive and steering systems as well as (semi-)autonomous processes. Stefan Taxer, B&R's product manager for mobile automation, observes: "The level of automation we [...] examples of automated processes are drive-by-wire systems, which transmit information from the gas pedal electrically rather than mechanically. These systems offer many advantages, but are not without risk: [...] complexity, workload and certification time. Modular system The hardware to go with B&R's programmable safety technology is the X90 safety control and I/O system. The performance of the controller is scalable

Meat changing requirements

for the meat processing industry. Its products range from robotic loading systems, sausage link separators and conveyor systems to solutions for thermal product treatment and metal detectors. "Among food [...] the line: a robotic loading system for placing products such as sausages or pet food into the respective packaging. In its standard configuration, the V-G-E loading system comprises units for feeding, [...] relies on automation technology from B&R. New design, new automation technology: the V-G-E loading system from Singer & Sohn is turning heads in the meat processing industry. For more than 30 years, Singer
