The era of the cabinet-free plastics machine is within reach. With pluggable IPC, I/O and drive technology modules, the machine mounted system delivers maximum space and time savings for machine builders and end users. The modular, IP67-rated control cabinet replacement can be decentralized on machines and conveyance systems as needed.
With the TwinCAT 3 Plastic Framework, we offer a modular software solution for plastics machine control that minimizes development effort and leverages the openness of the Beckhoff system architecture in a standard platform. As a result, plastics machine programming for control, visualization, condition monitoring and more can be handled on a universal automation platform.
With Beckhoff Vision, engineers can see what’s possible when machine vision hardware and automation software are perfectly matched. This comprehensive line of EtherCAT-enabled industrial cameras, lighting and lensing components are paired with proven TwinCAT Vision software to round out a complete product portfolio. Our solution is ideally suited in the plastics industry for quality assurance, process monitoring and more.
They’re not traditional machine controllers or PLCs, they’re CX series Embedded PCs. from Beckhoff. We provide powerful PC Control technology in a familiar, DIN rail mounted format. Users can simply add or remove system modules and interfaces – including directly connected I/O terminals – so that the user only needs to install the components they need for their respective application.
The world’s leading industrial device vendors have spoken, and their network of choice is EtherCAT. With outstanding performance, flexible choice of topology, comprehensive diagnostics and simple configuration, EtherCAT is ideal for use in plastics machines. We offer the largest number of EtherCAT-enabled controllers, I/Os, drives and more.
In machine safety, going for “good enough” is never the right choice. Ensuring the safety of your people, equipment and products is simply not optional. TwinSAFE from Beckhoff is the universal safety solution for everything from basic monitoring to complex motion in a fully integrated automation ecosystem. This comprehensive platform streamlines machine design with programmable safety functionality to safeguard what you value.
