As the collaboration between Comau Robotics SpA (Grugliasco, Italy) and Bernecker + Rainer Industrie-Elektronik GmbH (B&R; Eggelsberg, Austria) continues to mature and expand, the companies can already boast 10,000 units installed and operating all around the globe, an achievement that underscores the quality of Comau equipment that relies on powerful, accurate and reliable control electronics from automation specialist B&R.
The two companies have been working for years to revolutionize the integration of robotics into production lines. OEMs and end users benefit from excellent synchronization and the resulting responsiveness of the combined system. “This is the concrete result of an intense collaboration that has allowed both companies to become key players in the market, with the aim to continuously improve in technologies and grow in new market sectors,” says Tobias Daniel, the head of robotics Europe and Americas at Comau.
“We are pleased to say that this cooperation is yielding tangible results on a growing market,” says Walter Burgstaller, the European sales director of B&R. “More and more companies are looking to robotics as a means to optimize production and respond to the ever increasing flexibility and complexity of their plants.”
