Packaging gets personal: machine automation innovations at Interpack 2026
E62. Transport systems beyond mechanics With ACOPOS 6D Hybrid, B&R further expands the flexibility of its planar transport system and complements it with ACOPOS 6D LaunchPad, a software tool for simulation-based [...] simulation-based engineering and configuration. The hybrid concept combines magnetically levitated ACOPOS 6D shuttles for high-value process steps with conventional transport systems such as conveyors, robots [...] manipulators for less critical tasks, all coordinated within a single control architecture. Using ACOPOS 6D LaunchPad, machine layouts, shuttle flows and process sequences can be designed, simulated and
