Making Engineering Easy with TwinCAT 3 Motion Designer

The TwinCAT 3 Motion Designer (TE5910) streamlines the selection and dimensioning of drives and motors to optimize machine design. It integrates seamlessly with the TwinCAT automation platform or can be used as a standalone tool for precise drive and motor selection.

Supporting a variety of mechanics such as rack and pinion, ball nut, winder, and crank drives, the tool enables quick rough calculations of load cases using simple motion profiles.

An intelligent optimization algorithm suggests the best motor and gear unit combinations based on mechanical requirements and cost, using an extensive database of Beckhoff’s gear units, motors, and servo drives.

The software generates detailed or summary axis dimensioning reports, with easy access to technical data sheets and 3D models for design integration.

Key Features

• Motion and mechanics support: The software supports a wide range of motion and mechanics, including common kinematic systems and multi-segment profiles
• Optimization engine: Its intelligent optimization engine suggests the most suitable motor and gear combinations based on mechanical compatibility and cost, with adjustable filters.
• Automatic geometry matching: This function prevents incompatible motor–gear pairings.
  
• Multi axis dimensioning: The feature evaluates all axes, load cycles, temporal dependencies and DC link interactions.
• Parts list generator: The list generator prepares purchase-ready BOMs including accessories (cables, chokes, installation materials).
• Free of charge: TwinCAT Motion Designer, TwinCAT Drive Manager 2, and TwinCAT Autotuning are available for download free of charge.
  

Together, these capabilities accelerate engineering, reduce errors and simplify ordering and integration.
