Frequently asked questions
What is the Common Control Platform?
The Common Control Platform is a unified hardware and software architecture that supports all Atlas Copco joining technologies, including dispensing, flow drill fastening, self‑pierce riveting, and integrated vision solutions. It simplifies integration with standardized interfaces, a shared HMI, and a common data model – reducing validation effort and improving scalability across production environments.
For what technologies can the Common Control Platform be used?
The Common Control Platform is the foundation the 8000 series is built on, supporting a full range of Atlas Copco joining and dispensing technologies. This includes dispensing from the product lines SCA and Scheugenpflug, flow drill fastening from the product line K‑Flow, self‑pierce riveting from the product line Henrob, as well as integrated vision solutions. All technologies are unified through one modular architecture with standardized interfaces, a shared HMI, and a Common Data Model.
What is the benefit of the Common Control Platform?
The Common Control Platform delivers clear advantages across all 8000‑series technologies. It simplifies complexity and integration, reduces validation effort and costs, and enables standardization and scalability throughout production environments. By unifying interfaces, data structures, and the HMI, it helps manufacturers work more efficiently and build a consistent, future‑ready automation architecture. The Common Control Platform will meet the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 by January 2027, embedding required safety and cybersecurity measures directly into its architecture.
