Multi-axis automation system is more economical

ACOPOSmulti devices offer a high level of efficiency for machines with electronic axis coupling by using a high-performance design that can cope with power failures and requires minimal cabinet space. The power supply modules provide optimal current consumption with their power factor correction and power regeneration mechanisms. Not only that, machines behave the same no matter where they are in the world thanks to the constant DC bus voltage that does not depend on the local grid voltage.

The integrated 24V auxiliary supply module for the entire automation system allows grid voltage failures to be easily mastered without any lost axis links. Using torque motors eliminates the cost implications of drives that have mechanical imperfections relating to friction, elasticity and mechanical backlash.

In this way, B&R provides a technically elegant and economical way to drive printing presses and similar machinery – from a single source. This, in turn, generates maximum customer benefits, minimising waste and successfully providing maximum availability for flexible machines producing smaller batch sizes in a cost-efficient manner.

Other highlights of the B&R product line include integrated safety technology with POWERLINK Safety, open communication interfaces, innovative I/O systems with IP20 and IP67 protection, and Automation Studio, the software tool for all tasks (sequence control, motion control, and visualization) that can handle the entire lifespan of a machine (project planning, commissioning, production, and service).
