Beckhoff at ATX West 2023

ATX West

Achieve next-level manufacturing with adaptive automation

At ATX West 2023 in Anaheim, CA, Beckhoff Automation will highlight the latest in fully integrated, adaptive manufacturing technology.

With levitating movers propelled by freely arrangeable motor tiles, XPlanar offers 6 degrees of freedom, replacing some tooling and robotics while maximizing throughput. The eXtended Transport System (XTS) enables fast, flexible changeovers via software and eliminates expensive mechanical components. Alongside these mechatronics innovations, we will present our comprehensive portfolio of PC-based automation and EtherCAT solutions designed to enable adaptive manufacturing, digital transformation and IIoT concepts.
