Merging robotics and machine control into one unified architecture enables manufacturers to embrace the trend of mass customization and optimize their batch-size-one processes. Machine builders get their robots and machine control system from a single source. They need only one controller and one engineering system for development, diagnostics and maintenance. This lowers the threshold for those who want to implement robotics.
LESS HARDWARE
Unlock streamlined operations with fewer hardware components. The result: simplified maintenance, improved reliability and more scalable machine design.
SMALLER FOOTPRINT
Optimize space by seamlessly integrating robotics into the machine setup. The result: smaller footprint, more efficient layout and increased production capacity.
OPTIMIZED COSTS
Get your robots and machine controllers from a single source. The result: lower costs, more efficient operations and increased profitability.
Machine-Centric Robotics (MCR) is the definitive solution that seamlessly integrates machines and robotics to streamline processes, drive sustainability and ensure efficiency. In addition, MCR with Vision makes it easier than ever to set up adaptive machines: instead of tedious manual programming, the process can now be done step-by-step in just a few minutes.
Let's build more flexible machines
Open robot mechanics
Synonomous with exceptional high speed, Codian robot mechanics offer unmatched performance gains and footprint optimization along with IP69K hygienic design options and impressive payload capacities. Without motors or controllers, they are compatible with a wide range of control platforms for seamless integration into any machine.
Open software platform
B&R offers robot programming tools that require no programming knowledge. This significantly shortens development time and allows machine builders to respond more quickly to new production requirements. This flexibility ensures seamless transitions between tasks and product variants and enables quick responses to market changes.
