REGAL REXNORD TO SHOWCASE INTEGRATED MOTION SOLUTIONS FOR ROBOTICS AND FACTORY AUTOMATION AT AUTOMATE 2026
MILWAUKEE, WI, June 16, 2026 - Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE: RRX) will be exhibiting its robotics and factory automation solutions at Automate 2026, taking place from June 22-25, 2026, in Chicago. Bringing together brands including Thomson, Kollmorgen, Portescap, Warner Electric, ModSort, Huco, Micron, Boston Gear, Berg, Stearns, LEESON and Bauer Gear Motor, Regal Rexnord will showcase technologies that help manufacturers, machine builders and system integrators address the motion challenges behind modern automation.
From collaborative robot transfer and scalable servo motion to compact braking and sensing technologies, visitors will be able to explore solutions that support more flexible, reliable and space-conscious machine design.
As manufacturers continue to invest in robotics and connected production, automation teams are looking for systems that can be deployed quickly, integrated with confidence and adapted as production requirements change. At Automate, Regal Rexnord will highlight its broad portfolio of motion control, power transmission and automation technologies, demonstrating how its brands support applications across robotic cells, material handling systems, packaging equipment, autonomous platforms and other demanding industrial environments.
A key demonstration at the booth will be the Thomson Movotrak™ Cobot Transfer Unit (CTU), the first collaborative 7th axis, designed to add up to 10 meters of horizontal operating range to cobot applications. Developed to help manufacturers increase output without adding unnecessary programming or integration complexity, the Movotrak CTU enables one cobot to move between multiple workstations or cover a larger process area. The system combines a dual-linear-unit design for precise linear motion, high moment load and stiffness, with collision detection along the full 7th axis, and Freedrive programming functionality that allows users to set linear waypoints during cell setup.
Regal Rexnord will also feature Kollmorgen Essentials™ Motion Systems, a complete motion control solution designed to help machine builders specify, configure and set up servo motion more easily. Each system includes a servo motor, servo drive and single cable power/data technology, with support for widely used industrial Ethernet control systems. At Automate, Kollmorgen will highlight the latest expansion of the Essentials portfolio, including the PCMM2G Essentials controller and new high-voltage drive capability up to 4 kW, extending the platform to a wider range of industrial motion applications across packaging, warehouse automation, material handling and forming.
Also on display will be the Warner Electric™ Integrated Position Brake (IPB), a spring-applied, electrically released brake that combines reliable parking and emergency braking with embedded absolute position sensing. By integrating braking and position feedback into a compact assembly, the IPB helps reduce the need for separate components, supports shorter drivetrain designs and gives OEMs greater flexibility when developing compact electric powertrains for automation, material handling and mobile equipment applications.
Together, these featured technologies show how Regal Rexnord brands support automation design across different parts of a machine or production line. By bringing together capabilities in linear motion, servo control, braking, sensing, gearing, conveying and power transmission, Regal Rexnord gives OEMs, system integrators and manufacturers access to a broad motion portfolio backed by application expertise.
"As automation projects grow more ambitious, customers need partners who understand how each component of a motion system impacts overall performance," said Kevin Long, Executive Vice President & President of Automation and Motion Control at Regal Rexnord. "At Automate, we're demonstrating how the right motion architecture enables manufacturers to optimize space, reduce design tradeoffs, and build more adaptable systems for evolving production needs."
Regal Rexnord can be found in the North Hall, Booth 17030, where visitors will be able to see live demonstrations and speak with experts from across its motion and automation brands.
