Automation can be applied in a wide range of fields, from robots performing all assembly tasks, to automating selected production processes; Automation allows factories to thrive and fundamentally change. Lean processes, flexibility, and agility are key requirements for maximizing economics. The ctrlX AUTOMATION automation toolbox helps address these challenges and transcends the traditional boundaries between machine control, IT, and the Internet of Things.
The path to the smart factory is not unique, as each company has specific requirements. For this reason, we individually evaluate the maximum potential of automation for our customers. Andreas Gryglewski, Head of Business Development Robotics and Logistics at Bosch Rexroth Automation & Electrification Solutions Business Unit, explains: "With the ctrlX AUTOMATION system platform and its ecosystem, needs-based solutions can be offered for different automation and robotic tasks.
Motion software and apps provide important support during processing
Today's automation tasks range from the simplest tasks using the Cartesian principle, dynamic machines with numerous synchronous axes in the consumer industry, to precision motion solutions in semiconductor and electronics applications.
The ctrlX MOTION software covers all imaginable motion tasks, including robots and CNC machines. These functions provide valuable support, for example during handling. In addition to this, they ensure higher dynamics and productivity. ctrlX MOTION utilizes an application-based software architecture that provides functionality that can be adapted and extended according to the user's requirements. For example, "active shock absorption" protects mechanical systems and ensures maximum precision.
A technology that is suitable for a wide range of human-machine interface applications
Machine operation via human-machine interface is one of the most important factors in industrial automation. The automation platform from Bosch Rexroth consists of the ctrlX HMI: a solution consisting of hardware and software that can be combined as required. Hardware components include displays, tablets, network panels, and panel frames. Web-based software solutions are provided by partners. Whether using a tablet or an integrated display, important information can be provided and presented in a clear manner. The interface on all devices can be operated via an HTML5-enabled web browser. As a result, platform-independent visualization is achievable.
Customer devices can also be easily integrated. The panel frame in the ctrlX HMI portfolio can be adapted to a 10-inch user tablet. As a result, the solution enables flexible mobile applications. Enabling switches ensures operational security, while firewalls keep IT safe.
A single device can meet all connectivity requirements
ctrlX IOT is another component of the automation platform. The connectivity of Bosch Rexroth's solutions is an important factor in today's factories. The progressive IoT toolkit meets all Industry 4.0 requirements with integrated security. With the ctrlX IOT tool, the possibilities for users are almost limitless. As a result, it is possible to fully integrate IoT solutions into (hardware) platforms.
"With ctrlX IOT, we are bringing together the latest requirements for security, data analytics, and IoT connectivity in automation, robotics, and other areas in a single solution. As a result, there is no longer a need for additional devices such as security devices, IoT devices, motion control systems, industrial computers and human-machine interfaces," says Andreas Gryglewski.
The ctrlX CORE with ROS2 integration enables even more robot functions
The applications included in the ecosystem created by ctrlX AUTOMATION also offer many robotic solutions. For example, the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) can be integrated into the control platform ctrlX CORE by installing an application. ROS2 is one of the most popular prototyping platforms for developing robotics applications. By installing the add-on application, ctrlX CORE becomes a ROS component and provides direct access to the ROS world and data layer.

Rexroth hydraulic pump - gear pump common problems and solutions
1. Trapped oil
(1) Causes
The trapped oil of the gear pump is caused by the overlap coefficient of the gear design, as shown in the figure below, assuming that the length of the meshing line of the gear in the actual meshing is l and the tooth pitch is t0, then the overlap coefficient of the gear meshing is ε=l/t0. This overlap coefficient has such a ...
