Beckhoff UK, a specialist in automation and control technology, will be showcasing its popular MX-System at the PPMA Show from September 26 to 28, 2023. The event will be held at stand F70 and will focus on the company’s pluggable system for control cabinet-free automation, which has gained significant popularity in the food manufacturing industry.
Visitors to the stand will also have the opportunity to explore Beckhoff’s XTS linear transport system. This system offers a proven drive solution where magnetically driven movers move along a travel path of fully integrated modules. With the help of an industrial PC equipped with TwinCAT automation software, independent control of these movers is made possible. This results in a transport system that is ready for operation immediately after assembly. Furthermore, the XTS system will be equipped with no cable technology (NCT), enabling contactless, continuous power supply and synchronous real-time data transmission to the XTS movers.
Aligned with the PPMA’s focus on machine vision, Beckhoff will feature two of its vision systems at its stand. These systems include a multicolor inspection system and a backlight inspection system, both equipped with a 2.5 Gbit/s camera. Thanks to their compatibility with TwinCAT Vision, these systems seamlessly integrate into Beckhoff’s control platform.
Additionally, Beckhoff will showcase its PC- and EtherCAT-based automation technology for embedded control. This includes a comprehensive range of fieldbus components suitable for all common I/Os and fieldbus systems. The company will also present motion drive systems designed for positioning tasks, as well as industrial PCs and panels catering to various applications.
“PPMA holds immense importance in Beckhoff UK’s yearly calendar,” revealed Rachael Duckworth, marketing manager at Beckhoff UK. “This event provides us with an incredible opportunity to establish new connections and strengthen relationships with existing customers. Most importantly, we get the chance to showcase the latest advancements in automation and control that Beckhoff has to offer.”
