Multi-axis motion control and programming has never been easier thanks to Open Core Engineering. It provides access to the core of motion-logic drive and control platforms to enable programmers using standard IT languages like MATLAB, LabVIEW and even Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to create automation functions and applications. The Open Core Interface allows you to significantly streamline programming machine HMIs. Taking advantage of predefined software functions, a machine builder can create a customized, easy-to-understand interface, such as a mobile app or HMI screen—allowing users to perform machine functions and collect data from virtually anywhere. Coupled with Rexroth's EasyHandling system for building single- and multi-axis Cartesian motion robots, Open Core gives you the utmost in flexibility, control and speed of implementation.
