• Beckhoff Drive Technology: Motors in new wash-down variant
• Compact 40 A Servo Drive added to EtherCAT drive range

 

In combination with the Motion Control solutions offered by the TwinCAT automation software, Beckhoff Drive Technology represents an advanced and complete drive system. PC-based control technology from Beckhoff is ideally suited for single and multiple axis positioning tasks with highly dynamic requirements. The AX5000 Servo Drive series with high-performance EtherCAT system communication offers maximum performance and dynamics.

TwinCAT offers comprehensive NC and CNC functionalities. Associated PLC libraries and engineering tools round off the software solution.

The complete Drive Technology solution from Beckhoff consists of:

• Compact Servo Drives AX5000, AX2000, AX2500,
• Synchronous Servomotors AM2000, AM3000, AM3500,
• Linear Servomotors AL2000, AL2400, AL2800, AL3800,
• Stepper Motors AS1000,
• planetary gear units for servomotors and stepper motors,
• and a comprehensive range of accessories.

The open control technology of Beckhoff is consistently continued into the drive unit. Fieldbus standards such as EtherCAT, Ethernet, PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet, SERCOS interface or Lightbus enable the drives to be integrated into complex systems.
