Ultrasonics check welds in-process
With its PSQ ultrasonics quality assurance system, the Electric Drives and Controls Division of Bosch Rexroth has made a significant contribution to assure the quality of spot welds.
In comparison to other solutions, this cost-effective system that can be individually arranged always provides workers with a transparent and economical parts supply.
It follows the current trend to decrease automation in production and thus allows for higher flexibility.
With the kanban principle, less material is in the constant production flow.

Thermally deburred parts cleaned in one
Bosch Rexroth has developed a process for cleaning thermally-deburred components in one process operation, which isa djustable for different materials, and is environmentally friendly.
Instead of stockpiling parts, which tie up capital, only the components actually needed to produce an order are delivered and supplied to production.
Rexroth provides a modular system that can be arranged according to individual needs and purchased in an assembly kit or completely assembled.
The product range of the Manual Production System is composed of three pillars: configurable workplaces and shelf systems, as well as the corresponding manual linking components.
Workplaces, and shelf systems can be designed according to demands and flexibly converted or expanded at a later point.
The price is composed of the basic price and the price for the actually used individual components.
Simple connection technology and compatibility with all other products in Rexroth's modular assembly system allow for fast construction and conversion.
Thanks to the modular assembly system, the new tailor-made workplace comes in a wide range of variable dimensions and various materials for an individual and flexible design.
For example, workplaces can be equipped with material shelves, side panels, a reinforced strut extension, or power-wrench hangers.
All this can be defined and ordered with a single part number.
With its versatility, the new Rexroth workplace can be optimally adapted to any type of production.
Rexroth's Lean shelf system comes with rollers in four different colors, so that stock information is immediately visible throughout the entire process thanks to the multi-colored kanban system.
It also includes rollers with different diameters, flange rollers, corresponding sliding material, and brakes for use in different applications.
The XLean version, made up of a steel profile and rollers with or without flange, is a cost-effective alternative.
Lean and XLean can be used to supply materials and link stations throughout the entire production system, and can also be implemented at the workplace, enabling process orientation according to the pull principle.
