At the 2021 Hannover Messe virtual event, representatives of automation provider Beckhoff hosted a press conference in which they highlighted updates and new functionalities that have been added to several of Beckhoff’s products, including its Extended Transport System (XTS), XPlanar contactless mover system, and TwinCAT unified automation platform.
XTS
As a linear product transport system made up of individual movers distributed along configurable tracks, the XTS can accommodate many different types of products which may vary in shape and size and separate them into batches of one on the same line. Because each mover has its own motion profile, the XTS can decouple the overall product stream from individual processing stations to increase throughput. In other words, if one process station is running slowly, other items in the line do not need to stop to accommodate it as they would if they were sharing a single belt conveyor.
