    Flexible system for the modular robotics of tomorrow

    The future of robotics is modular – and Beckhoff now presents the ideal solution, ready for series production, with ATRO (Automation Technology for Robotics). ATRO combines modularity and flexibility in an industrial robot system with an internal media feed and endless rotation in all axes, seamlessly integrated into the PC-based machine control system with TwinCAT. The ability to (re) use identical module types across various configurations helps cut storage costs and reduces the need for spare parts.
