Robotics assimilated into machine control

With the introduction of openRobotics, partners Comau and B&R offer new levels of robotics integration for machinery and production lines. The system is based on a line of Comau robots that handle payloads from 6.6 to 1,433 lbs.

Programming is uniform for every component in the line, including robotics. The robots can be completely and seamlessly integrated into machines and production lines equipped with B&R automation components. The user selects the desired robot in the Automation Studio engineering environment. Using mapp technology, the robot then can be incorporated into and synchronized with the machine’s automation software.
