Beckhoff at SEMICON West
October 7–9 | Phoenix Convention Center, Phoenix, AZ | Boot #1555
Powering Semiconductor Automation with EtherCAT
Get ready to explore cutting-edge automation technologies that meet the rigorous demands of semiconductor manufacturing! From ultra-precise motion control to high-speed data exchange, we’re showcasing EtherCAT-enabled solutions engineered for semiconductor fabrication, advanced wafer handling, and downstream packaging.
See how EtherCAT and OPC UA communication technologies enable secure, deterministic communication across production systems — supporting the next generation of highly connected, high-throughput fabs. Experience the future of intelligent automation with adaptive innovations like XPlanar floating 6D movers, our compact EJ-series EtherCAT plug-in I/O modules for PCB-level integration, and Beckhoff Vision systems that simplify inspection and alignment processes.
Whether you’re optimizing existing lines or building the breakthrough of tomorrow, Beckhoff delivers the flexibility, precision, and speed you need to scale semiconductor production efficiently.
Stop by booth 1555 to connect with our engineers and experience these solutions in action!
EtherCAT: The SEMI standard network and I/O system
- Beckhoff is the inventor of the EtherCAT protocol
- industry-leading variety of EtherCAT I/O modules
- easily connect with a vast range of sensors, including devices for temperature, force, pressure, speed, frequency, torque, measuring bridges, vibration, current, voltage or other measurements
- robust diagnostics and machine safety technology in a standard system
- I/O form factors that fit all applications, from IP20-rated terminals for PCB or DIN rail installation to machine-mounted, IP67 EtherCAT Box modules with built-in special functions used in semi manufacturing
XPlanar: Total freedom with 6D motion, automated path planning, rapid changeovers, and minimal maintenance
- total freedom with 6D motion and automated path planning
- rapid changeovers and zero mechanical wear and tear on the movers
- modular and scalable magnetically flying movers
TwinCAT OPC UA Pub/Sub: Scalable, real time communication
- secure, standardized data exchange that extends the traditional OPC UA architecture with publisher/subscriber (Pub/Sub) capabilities using UDP and MQTT transport protocols
- ideal for real-time, distributed semiconductor systems
- easily integrate into TwinCAT automation software for fast, secure, and scalable communication
Beckhoff Vision: Eye-opening possibilities in machine vision
- see what’s possible when machine vision hardware, automation software, and networking are perfectly matched
- comprehensive line of EtherCAT-enabled industrial cameras and lighting components
- paired with proven TwinCAT Vision software to round out a complete product portfolio
