Up until now, anyone wishing to commission linear modules from Bosch Rexroth had to read various axis parameters such as maximum stroke or feed constant from the nameplate and enter them manually. This process wasted valuable time and was also prone to errors. To make commissioning easier for users and transfer the correct parameters to the motor controller automatically, Bosch Rexroth has improved and simplified the process.
With smart axis systems which comprise a linear axis or actuator and servo motor from Bosch Rexroth, all relevant parameters are already stored in the motor encoder data memory. For commissioning, users can transfer all parameters to the ctrlX DRIVE engineering software with just a few clicks, which means that their linear systems are ready for immediate use. A preconfigured system is provided, one in which all components are matched to each other, thus saving valuable time during commissioning.
Bosch Rexroth also offers practical tools and configurators to assist users in selecting, designing and ordering linear motion technology components and systems. With the selection and design tool LinSelect, linear axes and systems, Smart Function Kits and electromechanical cylinders can be designed for a specific application and ordered with just a few clicks.
As one of the world’s leading suppliers of drive and control technologies, Bosch Rexroth ensures efficient, powerful and safe movement in machines and systems of any size. The company bundles global application experience in the market segments of Mobile Applications, Machinery Applications and Engineering, and Factory Automation. With its intelligent components, customized system solutions and services, Bosch Rexroth is creating the necessary environment for fully connected applications.
