Beckhoff XTS system with the HARTING ix Industrial® Ethernet interface

Four times better performance with HARTING's miniaturized Ethernet interface

With the Beckhoff XTS system and the HARTING ix Industrial®, two real innovations come together.
Bechkoff

The XTS system cleverly combines the advantages of linear and rotary drives and creates completely new possibilities for material transport in automation applications. The ix Industrial® interface from HARTING replaces the aged RJ45 interfaces in the latest generations of the XTS system. The clever and space-saving design enables the use of 48 instead of 12 movers in the same space - a 400% increase in performance! 

Challenge, solution, result: on this page you will find resources detailing the solution to this exciting project.
