PPMA 2023: Beckhoff takes control
Automation and control technology specialist, Beckhoff UK, will exhibit at the PPMA Show on September 26 to 28, 2023 on stand F70, showcasing its popular MX-System — a pluggable system for control cabinet-free automation.
Also on the stand will be Beckhoff’s XTS linear transport system, which offers a proven drive solution in which magnetically driven movers move along a travel path of fully integrated modules. An industrial PC with TwinCAT automation software enables independent control of these movers, resulting in a transport system that is ready for operation immediately after assembly. The XTS system will be equipped with no cable technology (NCT), allowing for contactless, continuous power supply and synchronous real-time data transmission to the XTS movers.
In line with PPMA’s machine vision focus, Beckhoff will have two of its vision systems on its stand — one multicolour inspection system and one backlight inspection system, both equipped with a 2.5 Gbit/s camera. These systems integrate into Beckhoff’s control platform thanks to them being equipped with TwinCAT Vision.
Finally, Beckhoff will showcase its PC- and EtherCAT-based automation technology for embedded control. This includes a range of fieldbus components for all common I/Os and fieldbus systems, motion drive systems for positioning tasks and industrial PCs and panels for all applications.
“PPMA is a core event in Beckhoff UK’s calendar,” explained Rachael Duckworth, marketing manager at Beckhoff UK. “It’s a great opportunity for us to make new connections and catch up with existing customers, while showcasing the latest that Beckhoff has to offer in automation and control.”
