On Stand 5-N054 at Fiere di Parma, 26-28 May, Trio will also present its complete Motion-First Automation solution, including the PC-MCAT-2 combined PC and motion controller, high-performance EtherCAT servo drives and motors, I/O systems, HMI and SCARA robots.

Trio’s new Motion-PLC controller has been designed to reduce the complexity and cost of machine build for stand-alone machines in applications such as gantries, packaging, and glue laying. The controller combines EtherCAT motion control for up to eight axes alongside machine logic thanks to a multi-tasking operating system that performs both tasks in parallel.

With flexible I/O expansion for 16 I/O slices – plus additional I/O with Trio’s I/O coupler – Motion-PLC achieves extensive device integration with an EtherCAT port and up to two Ethernet ports. The controller also offers protocol support for Modbus TCP, PROFINET IO, and Ethernet/IP.

Application development and device integration is managed through Trio’s license-free MotionPerfect software, and motion programming is achieved with common IEC languages.

The new controller is the latest development from Trio’s Motion-First Automation design approach that focusses on optimising a machine’s motion cycle within a complete automation solution. Central to Trio’s Motion-First Automation approach is the Motion-iX ‘motion engine’, based on more than 30 years’ development, that includes pre-programmed motion features ranging from simple point-to-point moves through to complex kinematics and robot control.

At SPS Italia, Trio will also present PC-MCAT-2, a control solution that integrates Windows applications alongside advanced motion performance. The controller runs Microsoft Windows 10 with a choice of Intel processors, and achieves high-speed EtherCAT motion coordination for up to 64 servo and robot axes.

In addition to Trio’s range of all-in-one controllers with integrated I/O, the automation brand will also display its Flex-6X and Flex-7 flexible machine controllers. These pocket-sized devices give freedom over functionality with a wide range of ‘click-in’ I/O slices, alongside high-performance motion control over EtherCAT for up to 80 axes.

As part of the complete Motion-First Automation solution, Trio will also display its range of servo drives and motors. The servo drives feature EtherCAT update rates as fast as 125µs, plus integrated safety features, but to simplify machine design and reduce cost-per-axis, intelligence remains within the controller. The drives are matched with low inertia servo motors to create a plug-and-play servo solution for rapid commissioning and reliable operation by machine users.

Trio’s Motion-First Automation solution on display at SPS Italia will also include I/O systems, a range of HMI displays, plus a SCARA robot application demo. Trio’s SCARA solution enhances performance, reliability, and speed of development, as just a single controller is required to manage a machine, robots, and servo motion axes.

“We’re excited to launch Motion-PLC at SPS Italia 2026 and show machine builders how the new controller can make development faster and simpler, while retaining Trio’s motion control performance, from a typical PLC environment,” says Trio Italy Manager, Mauro Lavatelli. “Presenting Trio’s complete Motion-First Automation solution, we will show machine builders how we can support their full automation requirements while optimising the motion performance of their machines.”

Tom Alexander, Trio Motion Technology’s President, says: “The Italy market is crucial to Trio as Italy is home to many of the world’s leading machine building OEMs, particularly in our core markets such as packaging and printing. Trio is at SPS Italia to show OEMs how we can support their ambitions with our Motion-First Automation solutions.”

Rodrigo Ruiz Marín, Sales Manager at Rollon

As manufacturers face increasing demands for speed, precision and reliability, Rollon will showcase how engineered motion systems are solving key industrial automation challenges at Advanced Factories, drawing on recent projects involving heavy robotic handling, high-speed palletising and battery cell production.

With automation evolving, manufacturers need to keep delivering higher payloads, faster cycle times, greater precision and continuous reliability. Meeting these requirements is placing new demands on motion system design, making the engineering of linear motion design a critical factor in overall system performance.

Rollon has decades of experience in linear motion technology and supports machine builders and system integrators in developing motion systems tailored to specific application requirements. Rather than relying on standard components, engineered solutions enable automation systems to maintain stability, accuracy and uptime under increasingly demanding operating conditions.

“Machine builders today are being asked to do more with less – higher loads, faster cycles, tighter tolerances – and the motion system is where those demands converge,” says Rodrigo Ruiz Marín, Sales Manager at Rollon.

“Exhibiting at Advanced Factories is an important opportunity for us to engage directly with machine builders and integrators facing increasingly complex automation challenges. For Rollon, it’s about sharing practical engineering experience – showing how motion systems perform in real environments. For example, in applications exposed to moisture, chemicals or contaminants, corrosion can quickly impact performance if it’s not considered at the design stage – these types of challenges need addressed at an early stage and prove why application-specific engineering is so important. When the design is custom engineered for the application, customers can make more informed design decisions from the outset and get systems that hold their performance over time, even in the most demanding production environments.”

Real-world applications across automation

At Advanced Factories, Rollon will discuss practical applications demonstrating how engineered motion systems support automation performance across a range of industrial scenarios.

These include recent projects where Rollon has overcome heavy robotic handling, where large-scale systems must maintain precision under high loads; high-speed palletising, where cycle times and compact system design are critical; and battery cell production, where accuracy, cleanliness and continuous operation are essential to maintaining throughput and quality.

Across these applications, Rollon’s experience highlights the importance of specifying motion systems that are purpose-built for load capacity, speed and reliability, helping ensure consistent performance in real-world production environments.

At Stand D418, Rollon will present a range of linear motion solutions, including the Cobot Transfer Unit (CTU), AXNR circular system and actuator technologies, alongside dedicated displays for ball screws, rod ends and heavy-duty linear systems. These solutions demonstrate how motion systems can be tailored to meet specific application requirements across robotics, material handling and advanced manufacturing.

The demand for ever more powerful machines and increasing regulatory requirements, such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), are fundamentally changing the rules in the packaging industry. OEMs are under growing pressure to design packaging that is as small, material-efficient, and sustainable as possible – while maximising space utilisation and flexibility.

What appears to be purely a packaging issue has far-reaching implications for mechanical engineering: such profound changes in packaging require new machine designs. This presents an opportunity to make machines even more compact, flexible, and energy-efficient while ensuring the highest level of precision.

High-performance packaging machines

As a specialist in drive and automation technology, Lenze offers application-specific motion control solutions for the packaging machines of tomorrow. At Interpack 2026, Lenze will show how the combination of in-depth application expertise and powerful servo and drive technology enables precise, energy-efficient, and cost-effective solutions for every machine architecture – from sensorless control to drive solutions for the highest cycle rates.

Open interfaces, integrated safety, and end-to-end engineering also shorten development times, increase system availability, and ensure the flexibility that modern packaging machines demand.

Cost and energy efficiency

With its IE5/IE6 drive system, Lenze offers a decentralised solution with servo-like performance. In combination with the Lenze i650 motec frequency inverter, the Motor Drive System achieves IE5/IE6 energy efficiency classes and supports machine optimisation through sensorless positioning and integrated regenerative capability – helping OEMs process sustainable packaging materials more effectively.

Visitors will also experience how machine architecture can be adapted flexibly and how high dynamics, precise motion, and reduced hardware effort can be optimally combined for modern packaging machines with demanding motion profiles.

Inline robotics without cycle interruptions

Another highlight at the booth is a delta robot demonstrating highly precise pick-and-place processes on two rotating tables – without having to stop them. Through rotary tracking, products are picked up and placed synchronously, eliminating unnecessary cycle times and maximising efficiency.

This is made possible by Lenze’s “Feasible Application Software Toolbox.” Known as “Lenze FAST,” this modular software toolkit enables machines to be implemented faster, in a more structured way, and with significantly less programming effort. The Lenze FAST Robotics Template used in the delta robot significantly reduces engineering effort by parameterising robotics instead of programming them. Users benefit from short cycle times, increased line performance, and a scalable system solution that ensures the highest level of process reliability.

Easily realise modular packaging machines

A real eye-catcher at the booth is the Lenze Jonglator: The high-performance motion control system demonstrates how powerful servo inverters handle complex motion requirements while remaining more compact than purely mechanical motion solutions. Thanks to Lenze’s open architecture, modular machines can be planned and implemented much more easily.

Consistent functions and interfaces across controllers, HMIs, and I/Os enable seamless integration. This means motion, logic, and HMI functions are executed reliably and in parallel, even at high cycle rates and with increasing machine complexity.

Mpac tray former live at the booth

Under the motto “Motion enabled by Lenze,” Lenze demonstrates on a machine from customer Mpac how machine solution expertise creates real added value: the high-performance tray former processes up to 200 trays per minute and is therefore ideally designed for demanding production environments.

A rotary infeed concept replaces conventional pusher systems and ensures stable, continuous operation at high speeds. Reliable synchronisation and Lenze’s dynamic drive technology ensure this performance over the long term. As a result, Mpac’s tray erector is an ideal example of sophisticated packaging solutions and demonstrates how the complete Lenze portfolio delivers high speeds, precision, and consistent drive performance in demanding packaging processes.

Another advantage of the system is that it replaces conventional plastic trays with environmentally friendly cardboard containers. This supports the industry’s transition toward more sustainable, plastic-free packaging solutions.
