Kyntronics, Delta, and MTE Shine at Rockwell Automation Fair

Global industrial experts from across the globe are gearing up for the Rockwell Automation Fair 2025 at McCormick Place (Chicago) between November 17th and 20th. As an industry leader in industrial automation solutions and event host, Rockwell Automation will showcase its latest software and hardware innovations alongside industry experts and partners, Delta Motion, MTE Corporation, and Kyntronics.

Delta Motion

Delta has been a long-standing partner of Rockwell Automation, working collaboratively for more than 30 years, namely with Rockwell Automation’s PLC brand, Allen-Bradley, to facilitate hassle-free integration of the former company’s modern RMC controllers with Allen-Bradley’s ControlLogix and CompactLogix platform technologies. This means that companies using legacy ControlLogix system technologies, such as outdated Allen-Bradley motion modules that are no longer available from Rockwell Automation, can opt for Delta’s RMC motion controllers as replacements.

Delta's RMC controller range offers accurate control for intricate motion applications, particularly in hydraulically and electrically powered controls. Programming freedom for complex motion patterns and remedial diagnostic tools is among its strengths. Touted as Delta’s most robust controller, the RMC200 supports as many as 104 reference inputs, offers 50 axes of control, and provides rapid control with retracted loop times of 125μs.

Delta will showcase the compatibility of its technology with AB’s ControlLogix PLCs, provide insights through case studies of real-world applications, execute live demos, and show attendees the ins and outs of the RMCTools software. A Two-Cylinder Press demo will provide attendees with an idea of the performance capabilities of the RMC motion controllers in applications requiring multi-axis force and pressure applications. At booth #852, Delta offers attendees a chance to experience two other live demos: the Helical Interfering Gear Demo and Allen-Bradley Motion Module Migration Demo.

MTE

At booth #329, manufacturer and supplier of electrical power quality products, MTE, will engage its audience with interactive live demos. MTE will present its SyntriX AHF, a novel active harmonic filter that uses silicon carbide and advanced algorithms for the suppression of harmonics and IEEE-519 compliance. Reducing harmonics as much as possible is important because unwanted electrical disturbance can hinder connected devices, reduce power quality and operational efficiencies, and incur heat losses.

MTE will also provide an immersive Virtual Demo to model power-quality enhancements across a range of scenarios. The microNexus Working Demo will showcase MTE's load-side filter, which minimizes waveform distortions and safeguards against damage to VFD-driven motors.

A senior engineer from MTE will also be on hand at the show to deliver a featured talk on identifying and mitigating VFD-induced damage to motors.

Kyntronics

Kyntronics will showcase its innovative, sustainability-focused actuation solutions, designed to tackle common issues surrounding screw-type actuators (EMAS), hydraulic, and leak-prone actuation systems.

The fundamental issue with screw-type actuators is the wear and tear caused by heavy-duty, high-speed applications, which can result in reduced precision, greater backlash, and, eventually, failure. Furthermore, friction can produce a lot of heat, particularly at greater velocity, necessitating strong lubrication and possibly impeding continuous operation.

Kyntronics electronic hybrid actuators combine the capacities of both EMAS and hydraulic actuators, while removing inherent issues. The hybrid actuators provide customers with shock and side-load tolerance, no-metal-to-metal wear, on-demand power, and optional configurations that cater to user requirements for specified movement and force. Low (100 lbs.) to high forces (150,000 lbs) are achievable, and customers can choose between a total solution and an actuator-only option. Kyntronics’s actuators offer Proportional, Integral, and Derivative motion control for refining position, force, and speed of the mechanical system. The actuator system uses no hoses, is completely sealed, and its hydraulic cylinder uses minimal fluid (ISO 68, fire-resistant, and food grade).

Keep in the loop with our latest news when we revisit the Rockwell Automation Fair 2025 to see the latest hardware and software innovations from the event host and delve into other game-changing technologies!
