NCT | No Cable Technology

The XTS function extension with No Cable Technology is part of the XTS software package TF5850 | TwinCAT 3 XTS.

Special motor modules with NCT functionality provide a contactless, continuous power supply and synchronous real-time data transmission to the movers with NCT electronics installed, enabling the integration of sensors and actuators on the movers. Events can be triggered with high precision throughout the system.

The installation of electric motor-driven grippers, electric magnetic cylinders or vacuum suction units enables a mover to pick up, place, transfer, align and stack products.

Motor module with integrated NCT functionality

The hardware required for the transmission technology is fully integrated into the motor module, so that the existing functionalities and compact design are retained. No additional connections or supply lines are required. The module can be integrated into an infeed line with a connector card and positioned in the track section as required.

Mover with NCT electronics fitted

The NCT electronics enable the integration of sensors and actuators on the movers with digital inputs and outputs, analog inputs and PWM outputs. All functions can be controlled centrally with TwinCAT.
