Adaptive and efficient production systems

Beckhoff Xplanar

HRO-TECH is the exclusive integrator of the XPlanar system for the Czech Republic.

In cooperation with Beckhoff, we integrate the XPlanar system into production units according to customer requirements as a turnkey solution—including necessary manufacturing, inspection, and software peripherals, as well as installation and commissioning at the customer's site.

Individual system solutions are optimized and adapted already in the conceptual design phase, with feasibility assessments and cycle time determination. Optimization approaches are developed jointly to allow users to fully utilize the benefits of XPlanar technology.

The intelligent XPlanar transport system combines the advantages of conventional systems and enhances them with a unique magnetic levitation technology. Thanks to floating 2D transport, the planar motor system unlocks a wide range of new possibilities.

The unique levitation effect ensures wear-free and silent movement with six degrees of freedom, including 360° rotation. Products move at speeds of up to 2 m/s across various machines via custom-designed setups. If the payload capacity of one mover is insufficient, multiple movers can work together to position goods with micrometer precision.

Users benefit from individual movement freedom, provided by driverless transport systems, allowing single-item transport to any location along any route, either within a single machine or between multiple machines. In addition to this flexibility, XPlanar offers the full dynamics of a linear motor, enabling the seamless connection of manufacturing steps with optimized cycle times.

Beckhoff XTS

In cooperation with Beckhoff, we integrate the XTS system into production units according to customer requirements as a turnkey solution—including necessary manufacturing, inspection, and software peripherals, accessories, installation, and commissioning at the customer’s site.

Individual system solutions are optimized and adapted already in the conceptual design phase, with feasibility assessments and cycle time determination. Optimization approaches are developed jointly to enable users to fully leverage the benefits of XTS technology.

With the XTS linear transport system, Beckhoff offers a proven drive solution, in which magnetically driven movers travel along the path of fully integrated motor modules. An industrial PC with TwinCAT automation software enables independent movement control with custom motion profiles. This results in numerous system-related advantages. The transport system is ready for operation immediately after installation, as the power electronics and position measurement are integrated into the XTS motor modules, and the movers are completely passive. Thanks to various motor module geometries, both open and closed track configurations can be created, reducing machine footprint with individually arranged tracks. XTS not only replaces conventional conveyor belts but also enables innovative machine design. With flexible motion profiles, simple to highly complex processes can be realized, optimizing the entire manufacturing process.
