On-Machine™ solutions move controls and hardware out of traditional cabinets, streamlining equipment design. Instead of residing in a large enclosure, components are mounted directly on the machine. This enables greater modularity, fewer connections, and accelerated equipment installation and startup.

On-Machine solutions are...

• Efficient
  • Simplify the equipment lifecycle. Fewer components and connections simplify design, build, and maintenance. 
  • Lower installation costs. Quick-connect cabling options accelerate installation, reducing the time it take to make connection by as much as a tenth. 
  • Save floor space and energy. Smaller equipment footprints reduce thermal management requirements and energy consumption. 
• Flexible 
  • Accelerate automation design. A variety of mounting options and standardized, plug-and-play components make it easier to find the right fit.  
  • Adapt to what's needed. Modular solutions make it easier to customize equipment and streamline equipment movement and re-assembly. 
  • Optimize for scale. Reduce the cost of large-scale retooling and reconfiguration with compact, modular, decentralized solutions.
• Easier to maintain 
  • Reduce mean time to repair (MTTR). Less wiring and smaller control cabinet sizes streamline maintenance processes.
  • Reduce risk of failure. Plug-and-play components and quick-connect cabling options speed installation and minimize wiring errors.
  • Accelerate troubleshooting. Diagnose equipment issues faster by accessing solutions at the point of operation.
