Lenze FAST Robotics Template for Delta Robots Significantly Reduces Engineering Effort Through Parametrized Robotics Solutions

Lenze is showcasing its FAST Robotics solution at Interpack 2026, emphasizing how its template-based approach significantly reduces engineering effort for Delta robots by enabling robotics implementation through parameterization rather than traditional programming.

The Lenze FAST Robotics Template, designed specifically for Delta robot applications, allows users to configure robotic functions by setting parameters instead of writing code. According to Jeroen de Hond, robotics specialist at Lenze, this approach covers approximately 80% of typical applications, streamlining commissioning and reducing development time.

This functionality is part of the broader Lenze FAST Application Software platform, which provides standardized, modular software modules for motion control and automation. The system supports various kinematics including Delta 2, Delta 3, Delta 4, Portal, Belt Portal, SCARA, articulated arm and linear Delta configurations, with support for up to six degrees of freedom when auxiliary axes are included.

By integrating directly with the controller and adhering to PLCopen standards and IEC 61131-3 programming environments, the FAST system eliminates the need for additional controllers or specialized programming tools. Movements and machine functions are created within the existing control environment, enabling seamless integration into production lines without requiring special training for engineering staff.

The software architecture is designed to automatically scale with application needs, promoting reusability and reducing engineering time by up to 80% through standardized modules. Core functions include basic motion control, precise positioning, synchronized axis movements for applications like electronic gearboxes and cam disc control, intelligent winding technology, and coordinated pick-and-place operations suitable for gantry, delta, and SCARA systems.

Additional system services such as asset management, condition monitoring, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) tracking are available within the FAST platform. These features support continuous optimization and validation, including digital twin capabilities for testing software and mechanics before physical deployment.

Lenze emphasizes that the FAST Robotics solution enables functional enhancements to be implemented quickly based on customer requirements, maintaining software flexibility and long-term maintainability. The approach allows for the addition of commands or modules without altering existing code, preserving reusability across projects.

At Interpack 2026, Lenze is presenting these capabilities live at its booth in hall 6, J012, at Fiere di Parma from May 26 to 28, 2026, demonstrating how its motion control technology combines precision, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for modern manufacturing environments.
