RoboticsA maintenance-free architecture across eight configurations, with faster axes and higher wrist loads tuned for automotive spot welding.
RoboticsPre-engineered, application-ready collaborative cells built on the CRX series aim to collapse the gap between buying a cobot and running it.
RoboticsWith a 4,200 mm reach, the new giant targets EV batteries, tooling and full car-body components, alongside a refreshed KR Cybertech range.
RoboticsThe new GP215L, GP400L and GP700 reach up to 3,718 mm — aimed squarely at large parts and battery assemblies.
WeldingSmarter platforms pair adaptive power control with real-time arc monitoring to squeeze out energy and lift weld quality.
WeldingA GoFa cobot paired with Fronius welding runs one table while an operator loads the other, with 3D vision tracking every seam.
WeldingNew submerged-arc and wire-arc additive systems cut heat input while lifting deposition rates for heavy fabrication.
WeldingLow-energy consumables and automated overlay solutions target corrosion-resistant cladding for petrochemical and offshore work.
ControlA new platform coordinates material flow and production sequences across the plant, extending Rockwell's cloud-connected control stack.
ControlThe Simatic AX platform adds graphical ladder programming and S7-1200 G2 support, with TIA Portal AI that flags logic errors as you write.
ControlSixteen new Vision Unit Illuminated models fold camera, ring light and liquid lens into one housing to cut wiring and setup time.
ControlRival vendors align on PackAL, a common software library for packaging machines — a rare move toward interoperable motion control.
SoftwareA next-gen numerical control for high-precision work debuts alongside an automated M-800iA/60 drilling cell built for Airbus.
