HepcoMotion and Beckhoff demonstrate GFX-r high-payload transport
HepcoMotion and Beckhoff demonstrated the GFX-r guidance system for higher-payload XTS product transport at an MK7 mechatronics showcase.
Evidence notes
- The joint showcase at Oracle Red Bull Racing’s MK7 facility included a reveal of the GFX-r driven-track configuration for Beckhoff XTS.
- A track-management switch replaces limiting curves so longer movers and magnets can deliver driving force up to 400 N.
- HepcoMotion reported mover payloads of 30–40 kg and direct process loads around 1,500 N, with the system available to manufacturers.
Company context
