The eXtended Transport System (XTS) combines rotary and linear motion principles with a modular platform

The eXtended Transport System (XTS) combines rotary and linear motion principles with a modular platform. With its compact and flexible design, the advanced mechatronic system can reduce a machine footprint as much as 50%. It contains all functions necessary to support efficient integration for motion control applications in many industries. With attached mechanical guide rails, the motor modules feature directly integrated power electronics, EtherCAT communication and position measurement. An unlimited number of wireless XTS movers can be controlled with high dynamics at up to 4 m/s on customizable paths.
