Beckhoff Automation Co., Ltd.

The AM1000 economy servomotor in combination with the AX1000 economy servo drive forms a powerful, space-saving, and ideally matched servo drive system. In addition, the AF1000 economy variable frequency drive adds compact, versatile drives for simple applications to the portfolio.
 

Get ahead with the economy drive system:

• optimized price/performance ratio
• takes up minimal space in the control cabinet and machine due to compact designs
• available as a single-axis or highly cost-effective dual-axis version
• convenient design, commissioning, and diagnostics with TwinCAT

An important feature of the Beckhoff product philosophy is the use of latest, high-performance components and processors. As a result, Beckhoff Industrial PCs tend to include the latest offerings of the technology market. Every new technology, whether from the industrial or consumer segment, is tested by Beckhoff for its potential industrial application, adapted and optimized as appropriate and integrated. An outstanding example is the integration of modern multi-touch technology in the CP2xxx and CP3xxx device series. Modern touch technology has been gaining ground in the consumer market since 2007, and since 2011, Beckhoff has consistently been taking advantage of it in its Panel PCs to offer advanced and intuitive machine and system operation options. Beckhoff made the functional principle of capacitive touch technology suitable for industrial use in terms of availability, electromagnetic compatibility, mechanical stability and external dimensions through integration of corresponding basic technologies. The CP2xxx and CP3xxx product families convincingly demonstrate how state-of-the-art consumer technology can also be successfully used in industrial environments.

Beckhoff is the inventor of EtherCAT and a pioneer in PC-based control and modular I/O components. No other manufacturer has more EtherCAT expertise or offers a greater variety of EtherCAT devices. TwinCAT is the gold standard for EtherCAT masters, and of course every EtherCAT device supplier uses the TwinCAT software as reference.

The planar motor system XPlanar enables new material handling concepts through contactless 2D motion with up to 6 degrees of freedom. Levitating XPlanar movers fly across individually arranged XPlanar tiles along freely programmable tracks. 6D product processing and 2D transportation are dynamically combined in a single system while multi-mover control makes parallel and individual product handling possible. Mechanical wear and extensive cleaning procedures are a thing of the past with XPlanar.

• Wear-free, hygienic and easy to clean
• Processing with up to 6 degrees of freedom
• Free arrangement of planar tiles enabling customized machine layout
• Transport and processing in one system

The eXtended Transport System XTS – a drive technology that combines all of the advantages of linear and rotary drive concepts. An Industrial PC (IPC), any number of magnetically driven movers, guide rails and motor modules that can be combined at will already provide for an almost arbitrary and highly flexible configuration. The XTS not only replaces conventional conveyor belts, but also enables an innovative design of the entire machine. With the flexible motion profiles, simple to highly complex processes can be realized and the entire manufacturing process can thus be optimized.

• XTS increases productivity: through individual movements
• XTS shortens time-to-market: with innovative machine concepts
• XTS enables software-based format changes without downtimes
