Contactless energy and data transmission to XTS movers
Since its market launch in 2012, the intelligent transport system XTS has revolutionized product transport and machine concepts in a wide range of applications. As a result, machines have become more flexible, compact and efficient. In order to once again push the boundaries of what is possible in this field, Beckhoff has developed an innovative solution for contactless energy and data transmission with the No Cable Technology (NCT).
AA3000 series: Servomotor alternative for energy-intensive pneumatic cylinders
The electric cylinders from the AA3000 series are ideally suited as direct drives for linear applications with high process forces and speeds. The advantages with regard to force, dynamics and compactness meet the advantages of servo technology such as controlled positioning, safe holding at a standstill and high energy efficiency.
CX5600 Embedded PC series expands portfolio of AMD Ryzen™ devices
Equipped with AMD Ryzen™ processors, the Embedded PCs of the CX5600 series complement the existing CX51xx and CX52xx devices with identical housing dimensions.
The ELM3002-0205 EtherCAT measurement terminal is designed for high-voltage measurement on batteries, generators and motors. It supports the four measurement ranges of ±60, ±120, ±500 and ±1,000 V, and is particularly suitable for applications in the fields of electromobility and renewable energies.
TwinCAT/BSD Hypervisor is a system feature of the TwinCAT/BSD operating system from Beckhoff that enables the simultaneous execution of virtual machines (VM) and TwinCAT real-time applications on an Industrial PC.
The Beckhoff MX-System: New construction kit for automation replaces the control cabinet
The new MX-System from Beckhoff is quite simply a revolution in control cabinet construction. In this interview, Managing Owner Hans Beckhoff and MX-System Product Manager Daniel Siegenbrink explain where this claim comes from and how the conventional control cabinet can be replaced.
Comprehensive I/O expertise implemented on circuit boards via a compact and pluggable approach
When Beckhoff launched the EJ series of EtherCAT plug-in modules in 2014, it added a completely new design to its broad I/O portfolio. In this interview, Torsten Budde, Product Manager I/O, takes a look at the many advantages – particularly for series machine manufacturing – and the correspondingly successful market launch.
Continuously expanded portfolio supports even greater application diversity
Beckhoff offers an extremely wide I/O spectrum for the traditional field level in the form of EtherCAT Terminals and Box modules. The company’s many years of experience and proven technologies are also reflected in the form factor of the EtherCAT plug-in modules for circuit board mounting. Continuous expansion of the EJ range is demonstrated by four of the latest innovations for 2022.
