B&R introduces fresh components for its mechatronic product transportation systems, expanding its ACOPOStrak, SuperTrak, and ACOPOS 6D offerings. These additions pave the way for exploration in novel application domains, unlocking fresh market potentials for machine builders and manufacturers.

ACOPOStrak – Production technology for cleanrooms: B&R has introduced an IP69K-rated version of its intelligent track system. With this washdown version, the track can be cleaned with high pressure and temperatures up to 80°C and is also completely dust protected. In this way, B&R is addressing the requirements of industries like food and beverages and pharmaceuticals, meeting stringent hygiene standards. The updated shuttles are designed for smooth, durable operation, compatible with current transport units.

Enhanced precision enables accuracy and also expands applications in assembling electric vehicle batteries and medical equipment. This increased precision proves particularly advantageous when working with lightweight components like catheters and insulin pumps.

SuperTrak – The right angle makes the difference: With a new 90° curved segment, SuperTrak has more layout options with a smaller footprint. Compared to conventional conveyor systems, this adds even more freedom in track design. The new curved element gives machine builders the ability to fit more processing stations inside the track, rather than around the outside.

ACOPOS 6D – Aseptic/Hygienic shuttles: The new generation of aseptic and hygienic shuttles for ACOPOS 6D allows small batches to be produced economically in a wide range of industries. In addition to floating silently over the surface with high precision, these magnetically levitating ACOPOS 6D shuttles now also meet the highest hygiene requirements and are easier to clean.

Clients seeking germ-free environments can opt for this aseptic and hygienic variant. It is crucial in industries like food and beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals where stringent hygiene regulations make every square meter of production space valuable.
