FANUC and Rockwell Automation design complementary solutions based on the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture® with a complete hardware and software suite for your powertrain application. The Integrated Architecture production control and information system can help you improve productivity and reduce costs.
Partnering to Provide Contemporary Solutions
Integrating computer numerical controls (CNC) from FANUC and programmable automation controllers (PAC) from Rockwell Automation unites two world-class control environments for a fully integrated automation solution that is based on off-the-shelf standardized products. This allows for easy and cost-effective maintenance and management of production.
Customer Need for an Integrated Solution
Powertrain machining cells can be simplified and more productive with a pre-engineered automation solution that integrates FANUC CNCs and robots with our cell controllers.
Manufacturers can control and collect data from a wide variety of devices over a single EtherNet/IP network. This data is transferred easily to enterprise IT systems, enabling better decision-making and cost reductions. Machine tool builders can reduce engineering time and cost with a single network and programming environment.
