Developing reliable and functionally safe electromechanical and hydraulic solutions for power generation plants that ensure the stability of supply networks.
As pneumatic technology requires far less pressure than that needed by hydraulic applications it is used more often in automation applications for industry.
Aventics, a leading manufacturer of industrial pneumatic drive and control solutions, distributed and serviced by Tectra Automation, has integrated electronics into its pneumatic range. Examples of this integration include the ED series electro-pneumatic pressure regulators and AES modular electronics for the advanced valve generation.
This range of pneumatic products provides the functionality needed for machine networking, making them ideal for use in industrial automation applications.
Software and intelligent algorithms that have been custom designed for hydraulic applications have reached a stage where they equalise non-linearity inherent in fluid technology.
This can be seen in Bosch Rexroth’s Sytronix series. It combines the best properties of both hydraulic and electric systems enabling steel or iron constructed valve controls to embrace industrial automation. It achieves this through open operation by decentralising the intelligence in the electronically controlled device.
Bosch Rexroth has also integrated its electrohydraulic expertise into its IndraMotion MLC control solution software, opening the door for industrial automation applications.
This opens the door for industrial automation applications as the technology includes special characteristics that are intrinsic in fluid technology to the point where it replaces elegant programming with parameterisation.
Conquer the traditional boundaries between machine controls, the world of the Internet and IoT – the Internet of Things.
Introducing ctrlX AUTOMATION from Bosch Rexroth – helping you reduce component and engineering costs by 30 to 50%. It achieves this with a Linux real-time operating system, consistently open standards, app programming technology, web-based engineering and a comprehensive IoT connection.
ctrlX AUTOMATION is a complete industrial automation solution for Industry 4.0. It offers:
In addition to these plant automation advantages, ctrlX AUTOMATION speaks all languages and can be implemented in every ecosystem. Other benefits include:
Industry 4.0 automation and control solutions are dependent on connectivity between the entire value creation process, not only between OT and IT.
Our connected automation platform is an open ecosystem for future-proof automation and industrial manufacturing solutions. This is augmented by the i4.0 connectivity toolbox.
The industry 4.0 toolbox facilitates plant operators connecting and integrating practically all kinds of devices, standards and interfaces.
Some of the solutions provided by this technologically rich software include direct connection of management systems to automation via OPC UA, database-connections, integration of office applications, smart devices, and complete i4.0 upgrade kits for existing machines.
Electromechanical actuation in manufacturing plants is one of the most energy-efficient actuation methods in most industries. For this reason, it should be considered for increased use in industrial automation scenarios.
In addition, electronic servo controls are proven to enable high levels of precision. The Bosch Rexroth System 300 advanced DC tightening system allows multi-stage programming and multiple synchronisations of spindle motors.
Functioning according to the plug & produce principle, the modular Smart Function Kit from Bosch Rexroth is designed to meet industrial requirements of the future.
The Smart Function Kit achieves future requirements by providing a complete mechatronic package across a wide range of pressing and joining applications like assembly, joining, forming and testing.
Synchronised hardware and software components (electromechanical cylinder & power sensor, servo motor, drive controller, industrial PC and browser-based HMI software) make up this smart solution. Pre-selected mechanical, electrical automation and software components are combined in various kits for forces from 2 to 30 kN.
The Bosch Rexroth Group, as a leading automation supplier and a manufacturing company, is driving industrial automation.
As an early adapter of industrial automation solutions, Bosch Rexroth is well placed to maximise the benefits, advantages and opportunities that Industry 4.0 brings. One of the most significant of these is the potential for increased collaboration between stakeholders, which results in much faster communication and real-time data exchange.
Industrial automation companies like Bosch Rexroth collect valuable practical experience by applying industrial automation at its own plants around the world. Through this, the multinational group has proved how work at a Smart Factory with multi-product lines could look in the future.
