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.
Robot controls have high functionality
High functionality is combined with minimal space requirements in the rho4.0 robot and handling control introduced by Bosch Rexroth.
Components in the range can be combined quickly, simply and economically to form assemblies such as linear or area gantries.
Benefits include reduced engineering time and assembly costs, together with maximum flexibility.
For even greater versatility, using the standard interface Easy-2-Combine can be directly mounted onto the Cartesian Motion System (CMS).

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.
Tie rod cylinders offer 5x longer service life
Offering up to 5 times the normal service life, tie rod hydraulic cylinders have features designed to reduce maintenance costs and increase system or machine uptime.
Not only does this add positional capability but is ideally suited to applications involving longer travel distances, higher speeds or larger payloads.
The CMS offers a maximum payload of 45kg, 1m/s maximum velocity and acceleration up to 15m/s2.
Both Bosch-Rexroth CMS and Easy-2-Combine are supported by an on-line configurator that guides designers through product selection and specification.
The risk of design errors is therefore eliminated, as is the possibility of omitting essential components from the order since the configurator provides a single ordering reference which covers all necessary items.
The CMS is delivered fully assembled and tested, saving valuable time on site.
To provide easily configured control facilities for motion systems incorporating equipment from the Easy-2-Combine and CMS ranges, Bosch Rexroth offers IndraMotion for Handling, a turnkey motion and logic control solution.
IndraMotion is the ideal system solution for fully automated and efficient coordinated-axis motion.
Together with perfectly matched drives, HMI facilities and IEC 61131 PLC functionality, it offers user-friendly operation, a teach facility, shop floor programming and time optimised motion for increased productivity.
Between them, Easy-2-Combine, CMS and IndraMotion products address virtually every motion control requirement for small handling systems.
Plus, because all of the products come from a single supplier, users can be sure of compatibility, as well as the availability of expert technical support covering every aspect of their project, should it ever prove necessary.
