H4U the software platform from Bosch Rexroth offers new freedom in mechanical engineering – increasing productivity and sustainability

Bosch Rexroth is taking the integration capability of industrial hydraulics to the next level and transferring previously hardware-bound control functions into hardware-independent software modules. Hydraulic functions can be flexibly designed through the new H4U (Hydraulics For You) platform and directly integrated into existing automation environments. This transformation to software brings numerous advantages for end users as well as machine and system manufacturers. Hydraulic systems can be tuned in an energy-efficient way and contribute to the achievement of climate targets.

Self-contained actuators – High force density, electrical control

The self-contained actuators CytroForce and Cytromotion are designed to offer maximum added value over the entire life cycle – with their compact design with fully electric control and open interfaces, energy-efficient, quiet operation and long, low-maintenance operating life. Thanks to their encapsulated hydraulic transmission, self-contained actuators are an easy-to-use, robust and long-lasting alternative to electro-mechanical axes. The previous limits as regards cooling, power density and service life are being redefined.

Variable-speed drive solutions: Less electricity, less noise, lower costs

Everyone needs to help in the fight against climate change. Plant operators and machine manufacturers play a key role too – with new energy-efficient systems and retrofits to optimize the energy use of existing machines. Variable-speed drives have particular potential for improvement in this respect. Because they provide the required power with pinpoint accuracy and switch to standby in idle phases, they reduce energy consumption by up to 80 percent depending on the work cycle and avoid CO2 emissions accordingly.

Parameterizing and reading out hydraulic valves with a smartphone and Bluetooth

With the newly developed generation of digital on-board electronics for hydraulics, Rexroth allows economical scaling between analog components and those with a fieldbus/Ethernet connection. It takes advantage of the economic benefits of digitalization with no additional cabling. The new generation provides the open interfaces Bluetooth and IO-Link. In conjunction with a suitable app, commissioning engineers, operators and service technicians can access components and change parameters using their smartphone – directly and independently of the machine control system.

Energy-efficient solutions for automation

The shift toward sustainability is in full swing. Sustainability is a decisive factor for savings and more added value.
Extensive tools and models for energy and performance simulations are available for the optimal energy design of plants. The portfolio is supplemented by product-specific features such as the Smart Energy Mode of the drive system ctrlX DRIVE. It enables a DC link voltage independent of the mains voltage and at the same time uses capacitors as energy storage.
Product overhauls are another important component in favor of sustainability. The "Remanufactured Products" program aims to overhaul used parts instead of throwing them away, thus increasing their service life. Old drive and control technology products are taken back and fed into the professional upgrading and recycling process as part of the product overhaul.

Battery Recycling

Absolutely sustainable. We support the return of valuable raw materials to the manufacturing process - with scalable and economical system solutions. Raw materials account for a large part of the costs in the manufacturing process of lithium-ion cells. Bosch Rexroth solutions designed for efficiency in manufacturing sustainably reduce raw material consumption and costs. At the end of the product life cycle, battery packs are dismantled down to their individual parts. The individual fractions can then be sorted and reintroduced into the cycle.
