The Beckhoff AT XTS Starter Series is a range of ready-to-operate starter kits for Beckhoff’s eXtended Transport System, intended to provide a practical entry point for testing and programming XTS applications.
The kits are delivered as fully assembled mechatronic XTS units with motor modules, guide rails, movers, a control cabinet, an Industrial PC, and the required software packages, so the system can be commissioned as a complete package rather than built from individual parts. Beckhoff offers these starter kits in different lengths and configurations, and certain versions are also available with NCT functionality, which adds power supply and synchronous real-time data communication on the moving XTS movers. The starter kits are intended for mechanical testing, application development, and custom motion-profile programming within the TwinCAT environment. A tighter description is that the Beckhoff AT XTS Starter Series is a pre-assembled XTS starter platform for evaluation, development, and demonstration of linear product transport and mover-based motion concepts.
