Page 111 Beckhoff Launches Transport System in U.S.
Savage, MN — The eXtended Trans - port System (XTS) from Beckhoff Automation is now available in the U.S. The EtherCAT-enabled XTS offers capabilities for motion control and mechatronics by combining the advantages of proven rotary and lin- ear drive principles into a new modu- lar platform. With its compact and flexible design, the advanced mecha- tronic system can reduce machine footprint up to 50 percent. XTS contains all functions nec-
essary to support efficient integra- tion for motion control applications in many industries. With attached mechanical guide rails, XTS motor modules feature directly integrated power electronics, EtherCAT com- munication and position measure- ment. An unlimited number of wire- less XTS movers can be controlled with high dynamics at up to 13.1 ft (4 m/s) on extremely customizable paths. By harnessing the flexibility and scalability of EtherCAT, PC- based control and TwinCAT 3 automation software from Beckhoff, XTS enables flexible mass produc- tion down to lot size 1 for the smart factories of today. The application possibilities of
XTS are virtually limitless. Movers can accelerate, brake, position, and synchronize themselves on the fly with automatic collision avoidance provided by TwinCAT 3 software. They can take up absolute positions and positions relative to each other, group themselves and accumulate,
Binder USA Intros Snap-in IP67 Twin Distributor
Camarillo, CA — Binder USA has added to its 720 series of miniature circular connectors with a new snap- in IP67 twin distributor. The new twin distributor — a single male con- nector into two female connectors — provides a welcome new option for
create clamping forces in motion, drive through curves and along straights, recover energy through regenerative braking, and use both the return and outward paths for transport purposes. Simple XTS motor modules
form a complete unit with the movers and guide rails. The desired geome- tries, lengths and radii are deter- mined by the number and type of the components selected, with various options for 22.5°, 45° and 180° mod- ules to enable circle, clothoid and S- curve designs, as well as open straight segments. Motor modules contain electromagnetic coils and all other active functions necessary for
operation. The only further require- ments are a power supply and EtherCAT connection. Motor mod- ules contain no moving parts and are thus not susceptible to wear.
The XTS movers contain mag-
netic plates that, together with the coils in the motor modules, generate propulsive forces. Movers absorb the attractive forces of the magnets on both sides and compensate for them. As a result, the rollers, composed of particularly low-wear plastic, can move at high speeds with accelera- tion greater than 328 ft/s2 (100 m/s2). A mechanically robust encoder flag communicates mover position to the
motor modules. Contact: Beckhoff Automation,

IP67-protected twin distributor.
designers and installers who need a miniature circular connector for today’s machine building and automation applications. The new twin distributor
includes three and five gold-plated contacts rated up to 7A at 250V (5A at 125V). The twin distributor is also a compact robust splitter, a solution for splitting off a connection with two protected paths. The IP67 protection rating
makes the twin distributor ideal for use in applications where a simple waterproof connection is needed. Medical grade versions are also available. The twin distributor comes
in black, red, blue, or green. Contact: Binder USA, 3903
