Digital engineering of machine tools
CNC system MTX digital matured
With the latest software version of the MTX CNC system, Bosch Rexroth is expanding the digital engineering of machine tools to include 3D machining simulation in everyday operations.
In parallel with increasing digitalization and networking, the engineering and functions of the CNC system have evolved into an "IoT-proved solution" that meets future networking requirements in a practical manner. Based on hardware that can be scaled in three stages, the MTX CNC system offers the highest performance available on the market, according to Bosch Rexroth itself, and controls up to 250 CNC axes in up to 60 channels with one controller, including PLC functionality. The latest software version includes software packages for all common machining processes as well as for beam cutting and hybrid machines.
Engineering is carried out consistently via the central engineering software IndraWorks for project planning, parameterization and testing of CNC, PLC and HMI. Manufacturers have already put several hundred machine tool types into virtual and automated operation with the digital twin of the MTX and the integrated software tools. Machine manufacturers can protect their know-how in the fully open architecture. In addition, end users can use realistic 3D machining simulations to detect errors in advance and digitally optimize machining processes.
MTX is one of the first CNC systems to provide OPC UA client/servers right from the start. Bosch Rexroth is also a pioneer in supporting Umati, the VDW's cross-manufacturer information model for machine tools. End users can use these open standards with the MTX CNC system to integrate automated machine tools into heterogeneous IoT environments and the factory of the future without any additional effort.
