SmartReach Comau: worldwide debut of a new paradigm in enhanced machining where versatility and performance meet unwavering stiffness and accuracy for high-speed, one setup 6-sided machining of large, lightweight structures

Comau puts the Power of Automation on display at 34.BI-MU, Pavilion 15, Booth D10, presenting its newest innovations in advanced robotics, high-speed machining and digital backed automation solutions. Held from October 9th - 12th at Fieramilano, BI-MU is Italy's most important exhibition for metal working, machine tools, robots, automation systems, digital and additive manufacturing, in addition to auxiliary and enabling technologies. The show is also characterized by a truly international scope within which the 34th edition will look at All faces of innovation.

During the 4-day exhibition, Comau will highlight several new products and digital-driven technology solutions designed to accelerate deployment, increase quality and ensure sustainable productivity within the smart factory and beyond. This includes the worldwide launch of SmartReach Comau, a next-generation system that combines the precision of a machine tool with the agility of 5-axis articulation. Its modular design allows SmartReach Comau to realize 6-sided machining in only one clamping, boosting Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) while reducing time and costs.

Similarly, the global technology company will unveil its new TPX Robot Teach Pendant, whose full touchscreen display, intuitive interface and virtual simulation tools transform the way users maneuver, program, and monitor robots. As well as the all-new in.Grid digital platform with its equipment agnostic real-time monitoring and performance capabilities. By letting companies track performance, identify bottlenecks, and pinpoint areas for improvement, it gives them actionable insights to optimize productivity and operational efficiency.

BI-MU is also the perfect place to see Comau's new generation of small robots, the S-Family robots, designed to deliver precision, speed, and reliability across a wide range of general industry applications, and MI.RA/Picker, a standard solution for automated random bin picking tasks. Created to handle bins filled with single-type objects, MI.RA/Picker eliminates manual, repetitive tasks, significantly increasing productivity and operational cost-efficiency. Visitors will also have the chance to try Comau's MATE-XT and MATE-XB wearable exoskeletons to see how the upper and lower-back wearable robotics help reduce biomechanical loads, improve ergonomics and lower worker fatigue.

Part of its longstanding commitment to sustainability, Comau's solutions and technology portfolio is designed to deliver high performance without compromising on environmental responsibility. This includes smart, scalable systems that are engineered for maximum versatility and adaptability, and intuitive-based control paradigms that address the increasing shortage of skilled labor and robotic engineers. It also extends to dedicated expertise in retooling and repurposing existing lines and equipment in order to increase manufacturing efficiency and flexibility. In this way, Comau helps companies save time, energy, and resources, while improving the quality of their production processes.

"As an Italian company and worldwide leader in designing flexible and versatile automation that increases efficiency and optimizes productivity, 34.BI-MU is the ideal backdrop to unveil our newest technologies," said Pietro Gorlier, CEO of Comau. "Our comprehensive solutions portfolio allows us to offer innovative and flexible solutions to customers operating in a wide range of markets. In particular, the products we've launched here at BI-MU are designed to support multiple industries where automation is experiencing double-digit growth."

Comau's participation at BI-MU is enriched by several roundtable events: on October 9 Alessandro Piscioneri, Head of Products and Solutions (Advanced Automation Solutions), will take part in the MADE roundtable, whereas Comau will speak at multiple events on October 11, covering the themes of Intelligent robotics, and Stefania Ferrero, Chief Marketing Officer will be part of the Executive Roundtable for the International Robotics Foundation.

Visitors will also have a chance to learn about the high-speed, fully automated brake disc coating system developed by Comau and Prima Additive. By hard coating the raw brake discs with resilient steel and composite materials, the solution significantly increases brake disc durability, reducing emissions pollution by up to 80% with minimal impact on cycle times. Furthermore, the full integration of Comau's robotic arms with Siemens SINUMERIK Run MyRobot allows the industry-standard software platform to directly control the robotic arm without the need for external or embedded robot controllers.

Come see how Comau is applying 50+ years of experience in automotive - one of the most complex realities in terms of processes, cycle times, flexibility requirements and technology rates - to drive the power of automation. We look forward to meeting you at our booth in Milan (Pavilion 15, Booth D10).
