In combination with the Motion Control solutions offered by the TwinCAT automation software, Beckhoff Drive Technology represents an advanced and complete drive system. PC-based control technology from Beckhoff is ideally suited for single and multiple axis positioning tasks with highly dynamic requirements. The AX5000 Servo Drive series with high-performance EtherCAT system communication offers maximum performance and dynamics. more
TwinCAT offers comprehensive NC and CNC functionalities. Associated PLC libraries and engineering tools round off the software solution.
The complete Drive Technology solution from Beckhoff consists of:
The open control technology of Beckhoff is consistently continued into the drive unit. Fieldbus standards such as EtherCAT, Ethernet, PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet, SERCOS interface or Lightbus enable the drives to be integrated into complex systems.
Digital Compact Servo Drives: The Digital Servo Drives combine the most modern power electronics with a compact practical size.

Synchronous Servomotors: The Synchronous Servomotors are brushless three-phase motors with permanent magnets in the rotor. They are ideal for positioning tasks with high demands on dynamics and performance.

Linear Servomotors: The Linear Servomotors are used for characteristic drive curves with regard to dynamics, synchronisation or acceleration. They offer simple installation and are not subject to mechanical wear.

Stepper Motors: Stepper Motors are used for small to medium loads – as actuators or auxiliary axes for machine construction and automation applications.
