Cube67 in Assembly and Handling Technology
A Cube system, with its flexibility and compact size, is suited for applications with limited installation footprints like those in assembly or handling technology. The modules are placed next to the process. The multi-functional ports and the high channel density (up to 32 IOs per module) fulfills industry requirements while the system cable reduces cabling efforts. Not only does Cube connect various digital, analog and IO-Link sensors and actuators, it also economically and effectively integrates valve manifolds into the installation. “Machine Option Management” (MOM) minimizes restart times after tool changes or machine conversions.
Cube67 in Machine Tooling
The robust, fully potted Cube modules and their system components are designed to withstand the effects of oils and lubricants. They ensure the installation has a long life. Even high current valves (up to 2A) can be operated without any problems. Extensive diagnostics options ensure maximized productivity.
Cube67 in Logistics
The flexible module arrangement and multi-functional configurable ports of the I/O modules means terminal boxes are a thing of the past reducing installation efforts dramatically. The integrated IO check means you can pre-commission select installation areas prior to shipping. Because there is only one cable for power and data, machine parts are easily separated for transport and can be quickly reconnected and commissioned once they arrive on site. Function modules with an RS485 and IO-Link interface make using RFID and other complex sensors easy.
Cube67 in the Automotive Industry
On automotive production lines, value is linked to minimizing machine downtimes. The Cube system’s M12 ports along with “Machine Option Management” (MOM) and the automated addressing function means setup is quick and easy. The Cube67 Diagnostic Gateway offers extensive diagnostic data online via any web browser. This data can also be transferred to a cloud analytics application via OPC-UA.
Cube67 in Robotics
Thanks to “Machine Option Management” (MOM), tool changes can be done very quickly. This minimizes downtime and increases production. The system cable is torsion-resistant and needs very little space in the assembly. The compact design of the Cube modules, together with their high vibration and shock resistance, makes them a perfect choice for robotics applications.
Cube67 in Food & Beverage
The IP69K rated Cube modules are hygienic designed for active installations in food zones. Expensive junction boxes and complex cabling are a thing of the past. A single Cube system cable reduces parallel routing of individual cables on cable trays to a minimum.
Cube67 in Packaging
The Cube system’s “Change the protocol but not the system” means installations and machines are ready for global use. The Cube system processes signals with function modules (counter, logic) directly in the field, enabling shorter reaction times. RS485 drives are controlled by the system in an economical and simple way.
Cube67 in Wood Processing
Wood processing is all about flexible and efficient solutions. The Cube system with its variety of modules enables solutions for even the most challenging applications. Planning and installation efforts can be significantly reduced this way.
