SEMICON West 2025
October 7-9 | Phoenix Convention Center | Phoenix, AZ | Booth #1555
Get ready to explore cutting-edge automation technologies that meet the rigorous demands of semiconductor manufacturing! From ultra-precise motion control to high-speed data exchange, we’re showcasing EtherCAT-enabled solutions engineered for semiconductor fabrication, advanced wafer handling, and downstream packaging.
​
See how EtherCAT and OPC UA communication technologies enable secure, deterministic communication across production systems — supporting the next generation of highly connected, high-throughput fabs. Experience the future of intelligent automation with adaptive innovations like XPlanar floating 6D movers, our compact EJ-series EtherCAT plug-in I/O modules for PCB-level integration, and Beckhoff Vision systems that simplify inspection and alignment processes.
​
Whether you’re optimizing existing lines or building the breakthrough of tomorrow, Beckhoff delivers the flexibility, precision, and speed you need to scale semiconductor production efficiently. Stop by booth 1555 to connect with our engineers and experience these solutions in action!
Beckhoff offers the industry-leading portfolio of I/O modules that can connect with a vast range of sensors, including devices for temperature, force, pressure, speed, frequency, torque, measuring bridges, vibration, current, voltage and other measurements. And we offer a range of form factors to fit all applications, from IP20-rated I/O terminals for PCB and DIN rail installation to machine-mounted, IP67 EtherCAT Box modules.
Enable secure, standardized real-time data exchange with TwinCAT OPC UA Pub/Sub. This solution extends traditional OPC UA architecture with publisher/subscriber capabilities using UDP and MQTT transport protocols—ideal for distributed semiconductor systems. Easily integrate into TwinCAT automation software for fast, secure, and scalable communication across your automation architecture.
Total freedom with 6D motion, automated path planning, rapid changeovers, and minimal maintenance? You won’t want to miss XPlanar. You have to see the modular and scalable solution’s gravity-defying, magnetically flying movers in action. And let’s discuss how adaptive automation can transform your semiconductor applications to chart the course for the future to the industry.
With Beckhoff Vision, engineers can see what’s possible when machine vision hardware, automation software, and networking are perfectly matched. This comprehensive line of EtherCAT-enabled industrial cameras and lighting components are paired with proven TwinCAT Vision software to round out a complete product portfolio.
