ctrlX MOTION control and components for packaging printing

Packaging printing

Bosch Rexroth offers integrated automation solutions for the manufacture and printing of packaging. Best-in-class linear motion technology interacts with robotics solutions and motion software here. Bosch Rexroth is the technology leader for motion control applications in printing machines and offers a comprehensive library toolbox with functions that cover all printing requirements.

  • ctrlX MOTION: Maximum precision and convenience for motion and robotics. Sector-specific functions can easily be integrated and used.
  • Screw drives: For a wide range of positioning and adjustment applications
  • Linear guides BSCL: For standard tasks, moderately priced and available from stock

Components for food processing

Processing

Processed foods, beverages and pharmaceutical products are becoming more and more popular throughout the world. Various requirements need to be taken into account during processing. The Bosch Rexroth portfolio is ideally tailored to these requirements, whether it be high-performance transport using a planar system with six degrees of freedom or an electromechanical cylinder as an energy-efficient alternative to pneumatic cylinders.

Components for primary and secondary packaging

Primary & secondary packaging

A high packaging speed must not be at the expense of sealing, which plays a key role in ensuring a longer shelf life and product safety. This requires supporting technologies that can speed up and automate material flows. Bosch Rexroth provides individual solutions not only for compact and less demanding applications but also for highly complex tasks.

  • ctrlX WORKS: Practical software and engineering toolbox
  • Linear axes: Precision ready-to-install linear axes with high performance figures
  • Linear guides: Ball rail system NRFG – all metal parts in corrosion resistant steel, space-saving miniature version
  • VarioFlow: For three-dimensional, versatile product transport in a wide variety of production environments

Components for end-of-line packaging

End-of-line packaging

We give your production a boost when it comes to end-of-line packaging. We follow the “less is more” principle with ultra-compact drives or ultra-flat linear axes for the highly efficient handling of small parts or automatic palletization. As a result, you can achieve more while saving space and money. At the same time, the solutions from Bosch Rexroth adapt ideally to the particular environment. They can be integrated quickly and easily and are thus ready for use in next to no time.

  • ctrlX DRIVE: The world’s most compact modular drive system
  • Small modules SMS: Easy to integrate linear axes with a flat design
  • Kassow robots: Uniquely powerful, efficient and reliable collaborative robotic helpers in pack assembly

Bosch Rexroth solutions for warehousing and intralogistics

Warehousing & Intralogistics

With the integrated solutions from Bosch Rexroth, the degree of automation in intralogistics can be increased significantly. Our linear robots are particulary suitable for positioning and handling tasks. Thanks to suitable solution sets, automation is playing an increasingly important role in gantry robots, mobile robotics (AGVs/AMRs) and palletizing systems. These are modular and scalable and can be expanded as necessary via app technology to offer functions for automation in intralogistics and warehousing.

  • ctrlX CORE and ctrlX DRIVE cabinet-free: Control platform and motor-integrated servo drive, e.g. for pallet shuttles in high-bay warehouses or storage and retrieval machines
  • ROKIT: Automation toolkit for mobile robots comprising tailored, tried-and-tested software and hardware components
  • Cartesian multi-axis systems: Used in many handling tasks, e.g. palletizing applications
