openRobotics Comau's entire line of robots now integrates seamlessly with production machines that feature automation controls from B&R Industrial Automation, Roswell, Ga. With openRobotics, machines and robots use completely uniform programming, which simplifies integration of the robots into the production line. This allows a holistic approach to operation, diagnostics and maintenance.
What's new? Control of the robot through the primary machine's controller. Traditionally, robotics and processing machinery have relied on separate controllers.
Benefits Easy programming and diagnostics, and energy savings of up to 50 percent. Additionally, the elimination of duplicate components saves space and reduces the cost of ownership.
