AMKmotion connects automation worlds

Full of anticipation for the trade fair, the team of experts developed a demonstrator to familiarise trade fair visitors with the diversity of the AMKmotion product world and the company’s philosophy – its orientation towards users and applications in the realisation of automation solutions. Highly efficient components have a key role to play in this, and the Swabians have come up with some product innovations. For example, there is a new generation of decentralised inverters – also in a structural unit with the servo motor. In addition, the new hybrid distributor intelligently enables the interface from the central drive system to the decentralised drive environment.

This merging of automation worlds can be seen clearly in the modular trade fair demonstrator: here, centralised, decentralised and hybrid drive technology come together to form an automation solution with a generic control system that transfers bottles from one station to another in perfect synchronisation. This provides an individual example of the types of application that exist in mechanical engineering and plant engineering. The example application is also intended to show how automation can function independently of manufacturers and fieldbuses. sps: Hall 4, Stand 210
