Beckhoff at the K 2025
October 8 ̵ 15 | Düsseldorf | Hall 11, Booth H17
The World's No. 1 Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber
Assuring sustainability for all resources is a huge issue for the plastics industry. From October 8 to 15 at K 2025 in Düsseldorf, Beckhoff will show you how you can increase machine productivity with PC and EtherCAT-based control technology while simultaneously reducing resource consumption. The range of applications extends from injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, and additive manufacturing to integrating entire production cells. We‘ll present TwinCAT 3 Plastic Framework, which cuts down on development work and maximizes the performance of your systems and the MC3 Fluid Power, the complete integration of hydraulics into the TwinCAT development environment. Take the control hardware for your machinery to the next level with the MX-System, our pluggable system solution for control cabinet-free automation, the AX1000 and AF1000 economy drive system and the Next multi-touch panel generation.
We can’t wait to show you our latest innovations.
We look forward to seeing you at Booth H17 in Hall 11!
Modular software solution for the plastics industry:
TwinCAT 3 Plastic Framework
- reduce development work – unites important industry-specific functions for controlling plastics machines
- individually configurable – various packages for processing (temperature control), technology functions (motion), and industry-specific HMI
- easy to implement – seamless integration into the familiar TwinCAT Engineering environment
- high-performance IT integration – prepared for EUROMAP/OPC UA integration
Next-generation motion control: TwinCAT MC3 incl. Fluid Power
- Innovation without system discontinuity – interoperable with TwinCAT NC2
- scalable performance – no fixed limitation of the number of axes
- fully integrated hydraulics – manufacturerindependent control of valves, pumps and speedcontrolled drives
- multicore support – synchronized movements of any electrical and hydraulic axes and axis groups across all CPU cores
- flexible – combination of simulation and real axes
- versatile – modular software architecture, e.g. for customer-specific profile generators, controllers, filters
MX‑System: Pluggable system solution for control cabinet-free automation
- space-saving and robust – tough compact metal housing units replace the control cabinet
- direct machine integration – installation directly on the system cuts cable length
- easy installation and maintenance – plug-and-play modules can be replaced by non-specialist personnel
- scalable modular system – modular IPC, I/O, and drive solutions for individual machine concepts
- smart diagnostics via Bluetooth® – fast fault detection minimizes downtimes
Economy drive system: AX1000 economy servo drive and
AF1000 economy variable frequency drive
- maximum flexibility – supports asynchronous, synchronous, and reluctance motors
- space‑saving design – devices can be installed side by side
- optional integrated safety functions – TwinSAFE STO/SS1 or TwinSAFE Safe Motion
- high overload capacity – maximum performance for highly dynamic applications
- high‑performance EtherCAT interface – perfect integration in TwinCAT
Artificial intelligence in sync with the application:
TwinCAT Machine Learning
- at control level – execute neural networks and machine learning algorithms directly in TwinCAT runtime
- seamless integration – artificial intelligence can be part of the PLC code
- scalable performance – accelerate hardware with the option to execute in the GPU instead of the CPU
- flexible architecture – execution in runtime on a local PC or remotely
- diverse implementation – intended for quality inspections and preventive maintenance, to optimize material and energy consumption and reduce scrap
Efficient operation: The CP49xx and CP59xx
Next multi‑touch panel generation
- future‑proof panel platform – integration of the latest standards
- easy cost optimization – can be used as a built-in panel or IP65 support arm panel without changing the system design
- high variability – individual customization options thanks to push-button extension with integrated EtherCAT and FSoE
- flexible performance and size – Arm® 6-core CPU or Intel Atom® 2- or 4-core CPU with display diagonals from 7 to 24 inches
- intuitive, safe operation – tried-and-tested touch technology with an extended viewing angle and anti-ghosting effect in an industrial standard HMI design
- efficient connection – simple wiring thanks to large connection area and straight cable routing
