Bosch Rexroth to Showcase Cross-Technology Products and Systems for Accelerating Productivity at IMTS 2006


Company to display its latest products and technology at IMTS, September 6-13 in Chicago, IL, Booth #D-4320

(Hoffman Estates, IL) Bosch Rexroth Corporation will be exhibiting at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in booth D-4320 with a wide range of motion control products and systems to help original equipment manufacturers and end-users accelerate productivity, achieve higher precision, reduce downtime, and provide safer motion.

Bosch Rexroth offers cross-technology expertise in assembly technologies, electric drives and controls, hydraulics, linear motion and pneumatics. Among other products, the booth display will include:

IndraMotion for Handling is a complete and scalable gantry solution for handling applications. IndraMotion for Handling includes all the necessary hardware and software components with predefined motion function blocks to run pick-and-place and loading/unloading machinery. Powered by Rexroth's ultra-fast IndraControl L40 Motion Logic controller, Cartesian gantries with up to three linear axes (X, Y, Z) and three rotary axes (A, B, C) of motion can be precisely controlled.

HACD-1 is a digital controller card for hydraulic and electro-hydraulic drives that makes it easier to program pressure, flow, and positional functions in many closed loop hydraulic drive applications. It accepts both analog voltage/current and digital SSI or incremental feedback, with algorithms optimized for controlling hydraulic axes. The card is pre-programmed for a variety of servo and proportional valves and includes 32 predefined function blocks to allow sophisticated control. It supports six software-switchable analog inputs, three switchable analog outputs (one switchable), eight programmable digital inputs, and seven configurable digital outputs. The VT-HACD-1 can also be used as a command value generator for processing and scaling signals.

eLINE Ball Rail® System is a cost-effective yet high-performance ball rail solution coupling an aluminum design with roller bearing steel raceways. This allows for low weight, high corrosion resistance, compact design and equal load capacity in all four directions. The eLINE provides new options for OEM machine builders in many industries and is available in sizes 15, 20 and 25 with single piece rail lengths up to 2,000mm. Accuracy classes include N and E, with or without pre-load.

E2C is an easy-to-combine pneumatic solution for multi-axis automation tasks with individual components that can be combined in simple, time-saving assembly steps. This means that the most common applications in assembly technology can now be done with standardized interfaces. Centering elements are used for interlocking mounting while connections for sensors and the air supply are provided at several positions throughout the system, making complicated and expensive connection kits unnecessary. Rexroth has Easy-2-Combine components that can perform linear movements, pneumatically driven rotation movements, as well as gripper functions.
Bosch Rexroth AG, part of the Bosch Group, achieved sales of approximately $5.7 billion (4.6 billion Euro) in 2005 with over 28,200 employees. Under the brand name of Rexroth the company offers all drive and control technologies, from mechanics, hydraulics and pneumatics to electronics and associated service. Over 500,000 customers worldwide utilize Rexroth's unique technological know-how to implement their innovative and future-oriented systems and machine concepts. The global player, represented in over 80 countries, is an extensive supplier of components and systems for industrial and factory automation and mobile applications.
