The Italian motor manufacturer Siboni has developed a range of servomotors that use IO-Link Wireless links to controllers instead of conventional cable connections, which will now enable not possible-before capabilities for applications such as robotics, autonomous logistics systems, and packaging machinery where high-speed rotary movements make conventional connections difficult to install and maintain.
At the recent Hannover Messe, for example, Emerson was showcasing “a new era of wireless automation solutions” based on the CoreTigo technology, which will allow machine-builders and manufacturers to connect devices that were previously impossible to connect, as well as collecting data from machines in challenging locations, and achieving “new levels of control flexibility”

By using IO-Link Wireless the Italian motor manufacturer Siboni, along with other leading industrial and automation companies such as Emerson, DEA Cobootics, and Rotzinger, can now connect devices that were previously impossible to connect, as well as collect data from machines in challenging locations, and achieving “new levels of control flexibility”.
