Two new motor tiles are available for the XPlanar flying motion system from Beckhoff. The APS4244 and APS4242 XPlanar tiles introduce a new form factor into the system and feature dimensions of 12.6 x 12.6 in. (320 x 320 mm) and 12.6 x 6.3 in. (320 x 160 mm), respectively. This allows 1-track operation (APS4242) or 2-track operation (APS4244) optimized for the APM43x0 movers, which means users can implement significantly more flexible and cost-effective XPlanar routes. The new form factor can reduce the space required and costs for an XPlanar system by up to 50%, especially in applications with transport weights between 1.8 lbs. (800 g) and 6.6 lbs. (3,000 g).  In addition, there is an integrated power supply unit for increased motion control dynamics. The two new tiles also offer improved precision and reduced minimum mover spacing, resulting in increased mover packing density.
