Modular drive solutions for robotics
Efficiency, flexibility and sustainability make robotics a key technology in mechanical engineering. With the Lenze FAST Application Software and our expertise in drive technology and automation, we offer scalable systems and modular robotics components that are easy to integrate into machines and enable fast commissioning. Our solutions combine modern robot technology with a high level of user-friendliness - ideal for optimizing existing systems or for new, highly automated production lines.
Lenze FAST Robotics — modular software modules for every type of robot
With Lenze FAST Robotics, we offer a future-proof software platform based on PLCopen standards that is modular and expandable. Thanks to predefined robot types, you can start creating applications immediately and quickly integrate robots into production lines.
Our PLC controls robots and machines, as well as supports articulated arm robots and kinematics, with up to 6 degrees of freedom with various auxiliary axes.
The book “PLCopen Motion Control” makes it easier to get started with robotics.
Parameterizing instead of programming
The Lenze FAST Robotic modular system includes complete technology applications and many auxiliary functions. The robot can be commissioned by parameterization, which considerably shortens the development time. By adding commands or modules without changing the code, the software remains reusable and maintainable. In addition to applications, FAST also offers system services such as asset management, condition monitoring and OEE tracking. FAST also enables functional enhancements at short notice according to customer requirements.
Integrated robotics
With our robotics solutions, you do not need an additional controller, programming environment or control cabinet. Movements and machine functions are created directly on the controller in accordance with IEC 61131-3 without special training for your employees. The robot works seamlessly and synchronized with the machine. All components such as robots, sensors, conveyor belts, grippers and light barriers are integrated and perfectly coordinated via EtherCAT.
Construction kit for robots
Flexibly integrate any robot kinematics into your machine - whether Scara, Delta, gantry or articulated arm. Lenze relies on open standards and enables changes to the geometry at any time. You can implement variants with one software and thus maximize freedom and efficiency. Increase your productivity with our innovative technology.
Integrated digital twin
The integrated digital twin allows programming and commissioning without hardware. Simulations enable tests and optimizations before the system is built. Updates can be carried out at low risk and without interrupting operation. Everything runs directly on the controller; additional computers or licenses are unnecessary. The movement corresponds exactly to the simulation, and adjustments can be made quickly and individually if required - for greater efficiency and shorter development times.
