autonox Robotics will demonstrate how flexible solutions for packaging automation can be realized using controller-independent robotic mechanics — where robots and machines merge into a single unit — at Interpack in Düsseldorf, Hall 6, Booth D58. The focus will be on new high-dynamic delta kinematics, hygienic designs, and digital tools for simplified integration. autonox Robotics develops controller-independent robotic mechanics that integrate deeply into existing machine environments. The company is continuously expanding its portfolio.
World’s Largest Delta Robot Mechanics
At Interpack, the company from Willstaett will present the Delta RL4–2400–3kg, which it claims to be the world’s largest delta robot mechanics. With a reach of 2400 mm, this kinematic system combines large working envelopes with high dynamics and precision, addressing industry demands such as increasing throughput alongside growing product diversity. Conventional handling solutions often reach their limits, particularly in applications with frequent format changes.
Another exhibit is a delta mechanics with a rectangular working area, designed for linear packaging lines. The rectangular workspace facilitates the arrangement of multiple robots along conveyor systems and enables space-saving integration into the machine layout.
Hygienic Kinematics
As product safety and hygiene play a central role in packaging technology, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries, autonox is also developing a new generation of hygienic kinematics. Key factors include sophisticated design details, suitable materials, and optimized surface finishes.
At the same time, the company is enhancing its robotic mechanics with digital tools for simplified integration. At automatica, autonox already presented the autonox Simulator, which allows robot movements and processes to be virtually validated. Custom motion paths can be imported, and the system provides initial insights into dynamics and mechanical lifespan.
Integration into the Digital Twin
At Interpack, the next stage of development will be showcased: integration into the digital twin. In collaboration with ISG Industrielle Steuerungstechnik GmbH and the ISG-virtuos simulation platform, autonox demonstrates how real robotic components can be embedded into virtual plant models. This makes it possible to realistically analyze how the robotics will behave in actual operation — from the digital twin to the physical cell.
In addition, autonox will present further solutions from its portfolio of over 350 robotic mechanics, including the Delta mechanics RLL3-T1–1600–50kg, designed for use with long tools (such as multi-grippers for handling multiple products in parallel), as well as the articulated robot sCara4–450–1kg. This compact serial kinematic system is suited for standard automation tasks, features integrated media routing for compressed air and vacuum, and is designed for industrial applications with IP64 protection and robust materials.
