At ProMAT 2023 in Chicago, Beckhoff Automation will showcase its latest fully integrated, adaptive manufacturing technology.
With levitating movers propelled by freely arrangeable motor tiles, XPlanar offers six degrees of freedom, replacing some tooling and robotics while maximizing throughput. The eXtended Transport System (XTS) enables fast, flexible changeovers via software and eliminates expensive mechanical components. Alongside these mechatronics innovations, we will present our comprehensive portfolio of advanced automation and EtherCAT solutions designed to enable adaptive manufacturing, digital transformation and IIoT concepts.
