Automating the next big thing in packaging
Beckhoff is back at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2023! In the Lower South Hall at booth 6335, we let you look into the future today as we present the latest in fully integrated, modular, and adaptive automation for packaging and food & beverage processing machines.
We will showcase the gravity-defying XPlanar system with flying movers propelled by freely arrangeable motor tiles and the dynamic eXtended Transport System (XTS) with its new No Cable Technology (NCT) extension. These intelligent motion solutions enable rapid, flexible changeovers and shrink packaging machine footprints.
Bring your toughest challenges to our booth so we can help you achieve the adaptive manufacturing and digital transformation concepts of tomorrow – today.

Wednesday, September 13 | 11:00 – 11:30 a.m.
Innovation Stage 3
Beckhoff Vision: the fully integrated machine vision platform
- complete image processing system from software to illumination, integrated into one universal system
- direct integration with the machine controller simplifies projects and lowers costs
- robust design, high scalability, and long-term availability
The MX-System: Pluggable platform for cabinet-free packaging machines
- modular system with pluggable IPCs, I/Os, couplers, motion, relays, and more on scalable baseplates
- direct installation on the machine
- IP67-rated with robust metal housing for control cabinet-free machine and system concepts
Intelligent product transport: XTS and XPlanar
The XPlanar planar motor system:
- 2D product transport with 6 degrees of freedom
- hovering planar movers inseveral sizes and weight classes
The eXtended Transport System XTS:
- linear product transport with flexible path configuration
- extentable with No Cable Technology (NCT)
Maximum performance and system accuracy with Beckhoff kinematics and motion control
- PLC, motion control and robotics functions can be executed on a single Industrial PC and software platform
- over 23 different kinematics from 6-axis kinematics in addition to Cartesian gantry, various 2D parallel kinematics and 3D Delta kinematics are available
- TwinCAT software library includes tracking functionalities for synchronizing a robot with a moving object, so it can pick up workpieces from conveyor belts or mechatronic products like XTS and XPlanar
One automation software packages it all together: TwinCAT 3
- bundles PLC and motion control with LabVIEW™, MATLAB®, Simulink®, C++, Machine Learning and more in one environment
- platform includes the HMI, data acquisition, secure cloud connection via TwinCAT IoT and cloud-based analysis functions via TwinCAT Analytics
- support of OPC UA, MQTT and AMQP guarantees secure and vendor-independent data communication
- real-time image processing software, TwinCAT Vision
Ultra-compact IPCs: high-end computing power in a machine mountable design
- extremely space-saving and flexible
- modern Intel® processors in a variety of performance classes offer
- wide range of options for installation inside the control cabinet - or outside
