In 2020, Bosch Rexroth took a big step forward on the road to automation openness with the ctrlX AUTOMATION automation automation platform based on the "Industrial Automation Smartphone" concept. In 2021, Bosch Rexroth made the leap from an open platform to an industrial ecosystem. Co-creation is the way forward, and innovation can only be fully realized through the combination of domain expertise and solution competence, and in 2022, Bosch Rexroth has been working to develop more products and solutions.

A higher level of openness and freedom: ctrlX OS
Bosch Rexroth is further enabling greater freedom and openness in the field of industrial automation. In the past, the Linux-based real-time operating system ctrlX OS was only suitable for the control system ctrlX CORE, but now it is a stand-alone solution for industrial environments. It is hardware-independent and can seamlessly connect more automation components to the entire ctrlX AUTOMATION portfolio, including ctrlX World's partner solutions. It makes it easier and more flexible to develop, install, update, and operate software-based functionality at all levels of the automation topology. As the market has come to expect, Bosch Rexroth offers an innovative, open and secure operating system for automation technology. Now, Bosch Rexroth has taken another bold step by making this operating system available to other suppliers of automation components, once again fulfilling Bosch Rexroth's promise of maximum openness.

Gathering partner power: ctrlX World
The fact that ctrlX AUTOMATION has won several prestigious awards and has received positive feedback from the market shows that the opening up of the automation world is the right way to go. Today, more than 600 customers around the world use ctrlX AUTOMATION, and more than 60 third-party vendors are part of ctrlX World. This number is growing. The partner network expands the ctrlX AUTOMATION ecosystem with hardware, and more and more new applications are available for download through the ctrlX Store.
All of this motivates Bosch Rexroth to continuously increase the freedom of ctrlX AUTOMATION and create a virtually borderless automation world for its customers and partners.

Precautions for the use of Rexroth piston pumps
1. The installation of the piston pump needs special attention, the direction should not be mistaken, and the direction of the oil filler port should be upward, so that it is more convenient to use in the later stage. And it is necessary to use flexible couplings, which can better avoid any stress generated during the bending process, but the axial error needs to be 0 ...
