Beckhoff at ProMAT 2023

ProMAT

Peak performance and data-driven automation for smart warehouses

At ProMAT 2023 in Chicago, Beckhoff Automation will showcase its latest 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 advanced automation and EtherCAT solutions designed to enable adaptive manufacturing, digital transformation and IIoT concepts.

The Beckhoff team is looking forward to your visit!

Fast, open and ideal as a fieldbus for intralogistics: EtherCAT

  • EtherCAT eliminates network limitations in size and topology since the technology is not switch-based. Sorters, conveyors, and other large linear systems can therefore be handled easily with a single network without sacrificing required throughput.
  • By providing an outstanding performance, flexible topology selection, extensive diagnostics and simple configuration, EtherCAT meets all requirements for intelligent warehousing and distribution logistics.

XTS: Maximum flexibility with IP69K, NCT and Track Management

  • Combines the advantages of linear and rotary motion to transport products individually and dynamically.
  • New NCT capabilities transform XTS tracks into powerful, highly flexible multi-robot systems with wireless power and communication for myriad end effectors, sensors, etc.
  • Reduces machine footprint by up to 50% by eliminating mechanical components.

TwinCAT/BSD Hypervisor for virtual machines

  • TwinCAT/BSD: a powerful and highly secure Unix-based operating system that runs concurrently with TwinCAT on Beckhoff machine controllers
  • Hypervisor increases availability through integrated virtual machine environments and its ability to deploy multiple different operating systems simultaneously, such as Linux and Windows.
  • Full retention of Beckhoff system advantages, including multi-core processing capabilities and use of third-party software.
