BECKHOFF New Automation Technology 101 Beckhoff CNC solutions The PC- and EtherCAT-based CNC solution from Beckhoff integrates all machine functions into one hardware and software platform. This powerful system is characterised by high performance, openness and fl exibility. The universal TwinCAT automation software and the fast EtherCAT fi eldbus system, Industrial PCs, Control Panels, I/O components and drive technology combine to offer a complete solution for CNC machining. This way, the productivity of manufacturing facilities can be increased, the controller design becomes ‘leaner’ and the costs for hardware, engineering, commissioning and maintenance are lowered considerably. The Beckhoff CNC platform is suitable for all industries, processing technologies and machine kinematics: from compact dental machining centres and woodworking machines to complex plasma cutting and welding machines. The CNC solution from Beckhoff is scalable and modular, meeting the exact requirements of modular and
