Motek 2017

Minimised footprint – maximised flexibility.

At Motek 2017, Beckhoff will be presenting its PC-based and EtherCAT-based control technology for the implementation of efficient automation solutions for assembly cells and handling systems. In the quest for efficiency reducing the footprint of assembly lines is crucial, which is why automation technology should offer a compact design, scalable performance and modularity. With devices such as the new C6015 IPC with up to 4 CPU cores in an ultra-compact housing, modular I/O components and scalable drive technology, Beckhoff fulfils exactly what the industry requires. It means that assembly cells and control cabinets can be made smaller, and machine builders can scale their investment to the exact performance requirements of their specific application.

Visit Beckhoff in Hall 8, Booth 108 to learn more about our new, compact automation solutions.

We are looking forward to meeting you!
