The trade magazine for the packaging industry
Flexibility is the order of the day when supply chains are strained and markets are unstable. B&R has also taken this to heart and this year's trade fair appearance at the SPS has been designed with adaptability in mind.
B&R's new stand design invites visitors to experience the latest advances in mechatronic product transport, machine-centric robotics, machine vision and simulation. These technologies give machines the capabilities they need to overcome the current challenges in the manufacturing industry. These capabilities are summarised under the term adaptive manufacturing and enable manufacturers to switch effortlessly between different products and packaging on a machine or production line.
Focus on adaptability
"Today's machines must be adaptable," says B&R CEO Jörg Theis. "They must be able to switch effortlessly between batches, achieve more output in a smaller space and produce highly customised products on demand - and they must be able to do it all. even those that have yet to be invented." The latest developments that make this possible include the new ACOPOStrak shuttles. They have a longer service life, smoother running and a positioning accuracy of up to ±200 µm.
Visitors to the B&R stand can experience high-precision pick-and-place applications that can be realised quickly and intuitively using Delta robots from Codian. The Codian robots can now be integrated even more easily into the B&R ecosystem with the help of simulation. "Robotics and other key technologies such as machine vision and intelligent transport systems give machines outstanding adaptability," says B&R Adaptive Ambassador Nicoletta Ghironi. "This means that any batch can be manufactured with the efficiency of mass production."
