At PACK EXPO 2012, Rockwell Automation will showcase innovative and scalable solutions that help ease integration, optimize productivity and achieve sustainable objectives. The additions to the Rockwell Automation control and information platform, including a new integrated drive-motor system, servo drive and motor, managed switch, programmable controllers, and a virtual monitoring solution, help machine builders lower their Total Cost to Design, Develop and Deliver packaging machinery.
“Machine builders have traditionally been forced into dedicated control and visualization environments for each application,” said Mike Wagner, manager, Global Packaging Business, Rockwell Automation. “Our new additions work within a single, convergence-ready control platform and design environment, which helps machine builders reduce their engineering time and integration risks, and helps the end customer more easily address production issues with real-time, plantwide intelligence.”
The Rockwell Automation booth (N-3626) at PACK EXPO will feature innovations to its control and information platform including the following.
The Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6000M integrated drive-motor combines the high-performance Allen‑Bradley MP‑Series food-grade servo motor and Kinetix 6000 multiaxis servo drive technologies into a single, compact, on-machine package. Machine builders can reduce control-system enclosure size, cut wiring time, and simplify cabling with the seamlessly integrated system.
