Beckhoff Live + Interactive

Due to the high infection numbers with COVID-19, we unfortunately had to cancel our participation at the SPS exhibition in Nuremberg. With our livestream Beckhoff Live + Interactive, we have created an adequate virtual substitute to present to the public our many exciting innovations, technological evolutions from the fields of IPC, I/O, motion and automation, and – with our MX-System – even a revolution for automation without control cabinets.

Missed our daily entertaining technology livestreams or want to watch something in particular once again? You can access the recordings at any time in our media library.

• Recordings of our daily livestream directly from a non-public replica of our booth on our company premises
• Product news, highlights and a revolution in a compact, entertaining format
• host: Roland van Mark, Senior Product Manager IPC,
  Felix Schulte, Product Manager XPlanar

• automation of machines and plants without control cabinets
• reduces planning effort for machine design by up to 90% and in some cases shortened control cabinet construction from 24 hours to 1 hour
• simple, space-saving and, if required, also distributed mounting directly on the machine
• fewer components as well as no additional protective housings and no single-core wiring
• electrical technicians not necessarily required during assembly
• easy module replacement via hot swap function

• touchless power supply and synchronous real-time data communication on the individual XTS movers
• additional functionality as a further quantum leap with regard to machine flexibility
• XTS as a highly flexible multi-robot system
• motion sequences directly on the mover, e.g. for product alignment
• mover with gripper, lifting magnet or vacuum cup as mobile handling system
• integrated data communication for unique mover, tool and product identification as well as for condition and process monitoring on the mover
