Beckhoff | PC Control for Handling/Motion Control
PC Control offers the perfect platform for different robot concepts.
The integration of different fi eldbuses as well as the streamlined
TwinSAFE safety technology makes Beckhoff technology ideally
suited for complex handling and assembly tasks. In Inmold-
Labelling applications, for example, EtherCAT provides delay-free
synchronisation with the clamping unit.

Motion Control functionality
– point-to-point motion
– gear coupling
– master/slave coupling
– cam plates
– CAM Design Editor
– Motion laws can be modifi ed from within the PLC.
– position-synchronous coupling (fl ying saw, fl ying shear)
– synchronisation from any dynamic phase
– superposition
– axis interpolation in 3 dimensions
– programming according to DIN 66025
– PLC library for NC interpolation
Interface to the machine
This results in the following advantages, especially for the
Cartesian robots on plastics machines:
– smaller footprint due to IP 67 fi eldbus boxes directly on
the robot axis
– Beckhoff motors and Servo Drives are ideal for highly dynamic
applications
– Motion Control in separate controller or integrated into
the injection molding machine controller
– interface to the injection molding machine according to
CANopen standard
– high-speed synchronisation with the clamping unit via EtherCAT
– simple integration of the robot system into corporate networks
