Beckhoff at ITMA 2023

High-speed machines need high-performance automation technology: PC-based control

ITMA

Secure a long-term competitive edge: PC-based control optimizes textile machinery

Once every four years, the textile industry meets at ITMA to discuss the latest technology, machinery, and materials for textile and clothing processing. As a technology leader and pioneer of PC-based control technology, Beckhoff cannot miss this event and will be in Milan from June 8 – 14 to showcase its comprehensive modular automation system: TwinCAT 3 forms the central software platform with highly scalable PC hardware, EtherCAT as a flexible high-speed fieldbus, a wide range of powerful drive technology, a variety of I/O components, and the EtherCAT-based real-time Vision system. PC-based control covers all conceivable applications in the textile and yarn industry. Challenge us and discuss your ideas with our experts. We will find a solution.

We look forward to seeing you at Booth B309 in Hall 9!

PC-based control from Beckhoff integrates all machine and system functions on a single control platform

  • one control platform for the complete automation solution: TwinCAT
  • system-integrated: HMI, motion control, IoT, analytics, cloud engineering, machine learning, safety, robotics, vision
  • complete automation toolkit: industrial PC, I/O and fieldbus components, drive technology, automation software, control cabinet-free automation

The control platform for textile machinery: TwinCAT 3

  • just one software for runtime and engineering
  • efficient and integrated engineering: PLC, motion control, robotics, measurement technology, and condition monitoring in a single tool
  • can be expanded flexibly thanks to open interfaces
  • motion control extensions are available for point-to-point motion (TwinCAT 3 NC PTP) and interpolating axes (NC I)
