Beckhoff Automation is one of the world's leading specialists for automation and PC-based control technology. It offers a complete range of PC-based control and automation for metal forming, metal cutting and machine tools/SPMs. Industrial PCs can provide a powerful hardware foundation that allows machines used in the manufacturing industry to achieve higher energy efficiency. EtherCAT fieldbus communication protocol plays an important role in high-speed data exchanges with faster cycle times.
Beckhoff showcases industrial PCs, embedded PCs, edge devices, fieldbus IOs, and motion control automation solutions at IMTEX Forming 2024. Company highlights following products at the events at its display – 

Beckhoff Industrial PCs
Beckhoff’s comprehensive portfolio of industrial PCs, panel PCs, and embedded PCs are highly scalable products in all performance classes, from single-core to multi- and many-core. It offers huge freedom in configuration means that the best custom combinations can be built for the respective application purpose with long-term availability of the whole portfolio. An important feature of the Beckhoff product philosophy is the use of latest, high-performance components and processors for the development and design of Industrial PCs: they integrate the latest developments offered by the technology market and are used successfully worldwide.

Modular I/O system for all signal types and fieldbus systems
Beckhoff supplies an extensive range of fieldbus components for all common I/Os and bus systems in different designs. With the Bus Terminals in the IP20 protection and the Fieldbus Box modules in IP67, all important signal types and fieldbus systems are covered and the right product is offered for every application. It has universal product range for the EtherCAT environment with extensive portfolio of fieldbus-independent I/O modules for connection to the desired fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet system. It can be implemented in the control cabinet or directly on the machine with an IP67 protection rating. It is a one stop solutions for all common signals in automation technology.



Drive systems for highly dynamic positioning tasks
Out of its extensive portfolio of highly scalable drive technology components, developed and produced in Germany, Beckhoff’s drive systems provide long-term available products for long-term planning reliability. The comprehensive solutions are suitable for safety technology sector with TwinSAFE. The XTS and XPlanar provide intelligent product handling for highly dynamic applications as well. The innovative Beckhoff drive package offers a complete range of solutions for every application area. The integration into the motion control system of the TwinCAT automation software is thus optimised for highly dynamic positioning, extremely accurate machining, and efficient motion profiles. 

Powerful CNC solutions
The automation software by Bechhoff, TwinCAT maps all required technologies such as PLC, CNC and analytics in an integrated software environment. This reduces interfaces and the associated integration costs. Customer-specific CNC functions can be developed with the help of the standard editors, integrated into the real-time stack of the CNC kernel as a TcCOM module and provided with effective protection against third-party access.

Complete and system-integrated machine vision
With Beckhoff Vision, real-time image processing can be easily integrated into both new and existing control environments, as well as optimally synchronized with all machine and plant processes. Here, the previously strict separation between vision and automation technology is further eliminated through system integration in all environments. At the same time, Beckhoff Vision components win users over with their robust, attractive design as well as high scalability and long-term availability.
