Company Description:

The linear transport system from Beckhoff.

Two proven drive principles – combined into a new drive technology. With the XTS (eXtended Transport System) linear transport system, Beckhoff presents a drive solution that’s like no other solution before – because it combines the advantages of two well-known drive principles in a single system.

Where the possibilities to use rotary motors had previously ended, XTS adds the advantages of a linear system. And where the range of use of purely linear systems has been limited so far, XTS supplements the benefits of a rotary solution. Special needs require special solutions, and that’s the reason why the fully encapsulated XTS Hygienic version and the XTS Black Line were developed to complement the XTS Standard.
