PACK EXPO International 2024
November 3-6 | McCormick Place, Chicago, IL |Booth #N-6136
We're back at PACK EXPO International 2024! In North Hall booth 6136, get a glimpse into the future today as we present the latest in fully integrated, modular, and adaptive automation for packaging and food and beverage processing machines.
Because at Beckhoff, automation is our calling. Our team of industry experts will be there to discuss your applications and deliver game-changing solutions with hands-on demos and engineer-to-engineer answers. We can't wait to help you discover what's next in packaging technology!
Innovation Stage Presentation:
Cabinet-free machine designs are now within reach for manufacturers
Tuesday, November 5 | 2:00 - 2:30 p.m. | Innovation Stage 2 (N-4580)
Together with R.A Jones (a Coesia company), we’ll explore how advances in cabinet-free automation technology are changing the way packaging OEMs approach control system design. This breakthrough technology empowers packaging, food and industrial product manufacturers to minimize assembly and maintenance efforts, eliminate points of failure and simplify documentation. We’ll explain how – with real-world examples.
Don’t forget about the Beckhoff party!
Tuesday, November 5 | 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. | The Tap - located in the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Concourse
Drinks, food and a good time. We can’t wait to see you there!
Total freedom with 6D motion, automated path planning and rapid changeovers? See the modular and scalable solution’s magnetically flying movers in action. You won’t want to miss XPlanar! And of course, the tried and true XTS linear transport system. Let’s discuss how adaptive automation can elevate your applications to a whole other level.
Ideally suited as direct drives for linear motion applications with high process forces and speeds, the series offers optimal force, dynamics and a compact footprint combined with the advantages of servo technology. The integrated mechanism provides backlash-free, purely translatory motion.
As an EtherCAT device, the AMI812x integrated servo drive can be placed directly on the machine without a control cabinet and without upstream I/O, enabling the implementation of highly compact machines without control cabinets.
The era of the cabinet-free machine is within reach. With pluggable IPC, I/O and drive technology modules, the machine mounted system delivers maximum space and time savings for machine builders and end users. The modular, IP67-rated control cabinet replacement can be decentralized on machines and conveyance systems as needed.
With Beckhoff Vision, engineers can see what’s possible when machine vision hardware and automation software are perfectly matched. This comprehensive line of EtherCAT-enabled industrial cameras, lighting and lensing components are paired with proven TwinCAT Vision software to round out a complete product portfolio.
In machine safety, going for “good enough” is never the right choice. Ensuring the safety of your people, equipment and products is simply not optional. TwinSAFE from Beckhoff is the universal safety solution for everything from basic monitoring to complex motion in a fully integrated automation ecosystem.
