How Opus Integration Accelerates Motion and Robotics Success with Rockwell Automation Technology
In today’s manufacturing environment, precision, speed, and flexibility are no longer differentiators — they’re requirements. From high-speed packaging lines to coordinated robotic cells, modern operations depend on reliable motion control and robotics to stay competitive. Opus Integration helps manufacturers meet these demands by delivering thoughtfully engineered motion and robotics solutions built for performance, scalability, and long-term success.
Motion control and robotics projects often involve far more than simply selecting hardware. They require a deep understanding of machine dynamics, coordinated multi-axis movement, safety integration, and system maintainability. Opus Integration brings this expertise to life through its Motion Control & Robotics capabilities, designing and implementing solutions that align with each customer’s operational goals. Whether upgrading legacy equipment, deploying new robotic work cells, or improving motion synchronization across a process, Opus engineers focus on solutions that maximize uptime and simplify ongoing support.
A key foundation of these solutions is Rockwell Automation’s motion control portfolio, specifically the Kinetix family of servo drives and servo motors. Rockwell’s motion hardware is designed to support smart machines and integrated automation architectures, providing precise, coordinated motion while reducing system complexity. When paired with Opus Integration’s engineering approach, this technology enables motion systems that are powerful, intuitive, and scalable.
Opus Integration primarily leverages the Kinetix 5300, 5500, and 5700 servo drive families, which offer an ideal balance of performance and usability for a wide range of industrial applications. The Kinetix 5300 provides a compact, CIP Motion–enabled solution well suited for packaging, material handling, and assembly systems where simplicity and flexibility are key. The Kinetix 5500 builds on this foundation with additional scalability and power options, supporting more demanding multi-axis applications. For larger, high-performance machines, the Kinetix 5700 delivers advanced capabilities, higher power ranges, and modular design options that support complex, coordinated motion and robotics.
These drives pair seamlessly with Kinetix servo motors, which are available in a wide range of frame sizes, torque ratings, and environmental options — including hygienic and washdown-rated designs. Matched motor-drive combinations help ensure optimal performance, simplified commissioning, and consistent results across motion axes. The result is precise positioning, smooth acceleration, and reliable operation in even the most demanding environments.
One of the biggest advantages of Rockwell’s motion control platform is its tight integration within the Logix ecosystem. Kinetix drives and motors are configured and programmed within Studio 5000 Logix Designer, allowing motion, logic, safety, and diagnostics to exist in a single engineering environment. This unified approach reduces development time, simplifies troubleshooting, and provides operators and maintenance teams with better visibility into system performance.
By combining Rockwell Automation’s proven motion control technology with its own integration expertise, Opus Integration delivers motion and robotics systems that are not only precise and reliable, but also easier to operate and maintain. Whether implementing robotic automation, upgrading motion control systems, or designing new equipment from the ground up, Opus helps manufacturers move faster, operate smarter, and build automation that’s ready for the future.
