Experience Bosch Rexroth’s warehouse automation capabilities in person at one of the leading manufacturing and supply chain shows, ProMat 2023. Bosch Rexroth will showcase automation technology from its broad portfolio that work harmoniously in material handling applications at ProMat 2023 on March 20–23 in Chicago, Il. Located in booth S4018, ProMat attendees will have the opportunity to see how Bosch Rexroth brings together a harmonized combination of advanced hardware, software and engineering to create complete warehouse automation solutions that are smart, sophisticated and simpler than past solutions. The booth will include interactive exhibits and working systems demos. Featured will be the recently-launced Smart Flex Effector – a sensor based compensation module with independent kinematics – as well as a state-of-the-art three-axis cartesian robot that handles material with precision and minimal additional resources. Booth visitors will be able to consult with Bosch Rexroth’s factory automation experts to get strategic approaches and practical advice about how the company’s technology can help them build smarter, more productive manufacturing solutions — and deliver those solutions with maximum speed and minimal complexity. Key booth demos and highlights include: Smart Flex Effector: The Smart Flex Effector is a sensor-based compensation module with independent kinematics in six degrees of freedom that is the first of its kind. It increases precision in handling devices and opens up new areas of application for robots and Cartesian systems. Used in complex handling applications, joining operations with micron-level tolerances, robotic teaching, performing in-process measuring and providing movement flexibility that was until now unobtainable, the Smart Flex Effector solves a wide array of challenges that have troubled integrators for years. MP1000R Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR): This groundbreaking factory floor logistics robot can autonomously move without human intervention and uses a Laser SLAM-based technology to develop a “map“ of paths/traffic lanes to deliver goods. Our locating software allows the robot to continue to change the map and improve over time as the situation within the facility changes. The MP1000R autonomous mobile robot will simulate the transport of assembled materials at the end of line from a workstation to a custom pallet rack, both assembled with various components from Bosch Rexroth’s aluminum framing portfolio. ctrlX AUTOMATION: Our collection of kiosks illustrate the modularity and scalability of ctrlX AUTOMATION while presenting an overview of ctrlX DRIVE and ctrlX CORE hardware capabilities. On display is a three-axis ctrlX DRIVE linked to a ctrlX CORE control system running in real-time. Other components, such as ctrlX IO, ctrlX HMI and the MS2N synchronous motor, are included. In addition, the exhibit demonstrates how ctrlX CORE supports modern languages for today’s industrial machinery, such as Java, Python and Node Red, plus many other application-appropriate languages. Within the ctrlX AUTOMATION platform is ctrlX IOT, which enables efficient and secure connection in the IIoT. This progressive IoT toolbox features advanced security that meets the strictest I4.0 requirements and can fully integrate IoT solutions into hardware platforms. Smart Function Kit for Handling: The kiosk includes a presentation that highlights features & benefits of Smart Function Kit for Handling, combined with a working Cartesian multi-axis system whose configuration output can be created by booth visitors using adjacent Bosch Rexroth eTools software demonstration. The exhibit will present how predefined multi-axis combinations can be easily sized, configured and ordered as one part number. In addition, the Smart Function Kit for Handling software app running on ctrlX allows fast commissioning through auto parameterization of the servo drive.
