Rockwell Automation and autonox Robotics have joined together to combine Rockwell's Kinetix motors and drives with autonox robots in a customer-friendly catalog-number-approach. The partnership enables companies in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa to achieve new manufacturing possibilities through unified robot control solutions by allowing these robots to be directly controlled with Rockwell drive technology.

 

The robot solutions are programmed and controlled in a single environment using Logix-based controllers and the Studio 5000 automation system design software, removing the need to coordinate traditionally disparate machine control and robot systems and instead creating a simplified system architecture for more effective robotic automation systems.

 

This unified robot control solution will be possible using autonox’s line of DELTA and DuoPod robots. DELTA and DuoPod robots are made of carbon fiber composites, stainless steels, titanium, aluminum, and steel alloys, and are available in FDA-compliant materials with special coatings, IP69K protection class, and high-temperature resistant designs.
