Efficient robot automation with IO-Link
IO-Link masters and devices
Modern robot systems require a large number of sensors, especially in the robot arm. However, the number must be limited in order to ensure sufficient motion and minimize energy consumption. Complex cabling with multiple cables makes high efficiency difficult. With IO-Link, these hurdles are a thing of the past. A standard M12 connector is sufficient to guarantee the robot's function. Special connectors are no longer necessary, as I/O modules and valve terminals can be easily linked, reducing complexity.
