New at the SPS: Linear motion system
High-speed transportation and positioning
In the networked factory, everything has to mesh seamlessly and quickly. This also applies to the transportation and positioning of products and materials. The linear motion system ctrlX FLOWHS from Bosch Rexroth achieves this through flexibility and high speed - with reduced space requirements.
The compact solution can be flexibly configured for different topologies and applications. It is fully integrated into the ctrlX Automation modular automation system and benefits from its openness and security as well as the complete ecosystem. This gives users access to all features, such as interfaces for interoperability with other systems as well as communication and safety standards through ctrlX IOT. Synchronized operation of robots and other axes is also possible using the embedded ctrlX Motion software. ctrlX FLOWHS is based on the ctrlX Core controller with the ctrlX OS operating system. The solution is expandable and future-proof thanks to app technology.
Focus on flexibility
In addition to its openness, the motion system is designed for flexibility. Based on a modular construction kit, it has plug-and-play functionality. Segments such as straight lines, curves and switches can be combined as required to create specific topologies, lengths and routes. Users can easily configure their individual solution and put it into operation in a time-saving manner. The course is also set for later adjustments and simple maintenance.
High dynamics
Another advantage that supports the required performance in the modern factory is the high dynamics of the system. With an acceleration of up to ten g and a speed of five meters per second, the system enables fast movements. Multiple movers with a scalable payload of up to 2.5 kilograms (single) or five kilograms (linked) provide the corresponding performance and precision. The U-shaped design improves tracking and minimizes friction, resulting in a consistent maximum speed even in curves.
