Perfect precision and flexibility

Weber, 14/02/2025

At the joint PI stand in Hall 9/D68 at the Hannover Messe, PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International) will present a new mechanical engineering demonstration. The innovative exhibition model combines a sophisticated conveyor platform with a highly precise robot application: A recurring challenge that requires continuous further development in order to meet increasing demands.

The transport platform is based on SuperTrak technology, which enables highly dynamic and precise movements through the use of magnet technology and also offers great flexibility. Here, individually controllable shuttles are moved on a transport rail by linear motors. The swivel arm robot is coordinated with these transport movements using a pick-and-place application. The integration of PROFINET, PROFIdrive and PROFIsafe ensures reliable and safe communication that forms the basis for both the individual sub-areas and the interaction between the components.

The interaction of PI technologies enables optimal coordination of all movements and ensures safe processes.

Automation technology is being further developed thanks to PROFINET and its associated profiles and applications. The combination of advanced technology, high precision and extensive compatibility makes PROFINET the preferred solution for demanding industrial applications.
