Automation toolkit for the packaging industry: ctrlX AUTOMATION
Automated packaging solutions today need to be more flexible than ever before. To enable a particularly high degree of individualization, ctrlX AUTOMATION was developed as an open solution. With a Linux real-time operating system, consistently open standards, app programming technology, web-based engineering and a comprehensive IoT connection, ctrlX AUTOMATION reduces components and engineering costs by 30 to 50%. Packaging machine manufacturers thus benefit from a faster time-to-market and users from efficient production.
Planar system with 6 degrees of freedom: ctrlX FLOW⁶ᴰ
Planar systems offer enormous potential for a wide range of industrial segments, including the packaging industry. With ctrlX FLOW⁶ᴰ, high performance non-contact transport and positioning reaches a new level. Free-floating transport platforms – movers – are moved on a horizontally, vertically or overhead oriented work surface. Each mover operates in six degrees of freedom with high speed and precision, without any friction or contamination. Integration into the ctrlX AUTOMATION modular automation system results in a complete solution with a compact control system and apps to expand the range of functions.
With ctrlX IOT as a central part of ctrlX AUTOMATION, Bosch Rexroth offers a progressive IoT toolbox with integrated security which meets all Industry 4.0 requirements. The option of fully integrating IoT solutions into the (hardware) platform enables users unlimited possibilities. For this reason, Bosch Rexroth offers individual vulnerability, risk and threat analyses as well as security concepts for machines or components as part of IT Security Consulting.
More efficient, sustainable and faster automation with Rexroth Linear Motion Technology
Whether individual components or smart linear robots - Rexroth Linear Motion Technology offers economical, efficient and future-oriented products and solutions for a wide range of applications in the field of packaging. State-of-the-art, intelligent eTools enable you to quickly select, design and configure products. Discover new possibilities for your automation thanks to sensor technology: The Smart Flex Effector, our sensor-based compensation element, gives industrial robots the feeling of a human hand, increases precision and boosts your level of automation. With our compact, easily retrofittable measuring systems, the sensor is completely integrated into the runner block of the linear guide, saving you installation space and components. Ourdurable, low-maintenance best-in-class components, such as ball rail systems or ball screw assemblies with long relubrication intervals also increase your productivity while at the same time promoting sustainability and saving resources.
As a transport artery, the tried-and-tested VarioFlow plus chain conveyor system ensures the economical transport of individual parts with very low noise.
Whether it be shampoo bottles, four-sided sealed pouches with coffee powder or soy beans in a maize starch bag: VarioFlow plus adapts to all tasks and ensures that the products are transported, distributed and brought together safely. The system also transports secondary packaging of various sizes and types safely, quickly and in a trouble-free manner – in the tightest of spaces and with minimal friction. Thanks to the building block principle, individual components and modules can quickly be reconfigured to create new lines – with downtimes of hours rather than days. The complete product range includes designs in aluminum and stainless steel as well as fully FDA-compliant materials.
