B&R presents new shuttle functions for its mechatronic product transport systems. Recent additions to the company’s ACOPOStrak and ACOPOS 6D portfolios create possibilities in new application areas, opening new market opportunities for machine builders and manufacturers.

New shuttles for ACOPOStrak: The new shuttles are optimised for smooth and, thus, low-wear operation and can be operated together with existing transport units. They also offer greater accuracy, opening new applications in areas such as the assembly of electric vehicle batteries and medical devices. The increased precision offers key advantages when working with lightweight components such as catheters and insulin pumps.

ACOPOS 6D: Aseptic/Hygienic Shuttles: The new generation of aseptic and hygienic shuttles for ACOPOS 6D allows small batches to be produced economically in various industries. In addition to floating silently over the surface with high precision, these magnetically levitating ACOPOS 6D shuttles now meet the highest hygiene requirements and are easier to clean. Customers who require a germ-free environment can opt for this aseptic and hygienic variant. Strict hygiene regulations make every square metre of production space valuable, from food and beverages to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
