Application-specific, pre-fabricated hydraulic circuit solutions and controls by Rexroth reduce the engineering effort for manufacturers of machine tools. At EMO 2005, Rexroth will present package solutions for specific motion tasks. The function groups that are made up of standard components simplify the modularization of machines and thus shorten the time required for engineering and commissioning.

Rexroth completes these modules to provide a complete hydraulic control taking into account the size of the machine, the field of application and customer requirements.

With electro-hydraulic axes, the manufacturer can combine the advantages of decentralised automation structures with the specific benefits of hydraulic drive physics.

By offering these function modules that are optionally semi-finished or ready for operation, Rexroth promotes the standardisation of hydraulic drive units for specific movements.

These standard solutions improve the modularisation of machine concepts and contribute to an increase in the lifecycle value.

They are based on the use of standard components from the comprehensive Rexroth hydraulic product range and allow almost infinite scaling.

Depending on the task at hand, the complete power units can be used for continuous or intermittent operation.

Various valve combinations cover the specific motion tasks.

The modular IH control plate system of segment design significantly reduces the piping effort and allows the integration of all clamping and handling functions in one complete hydraulic control.

With electrohydraulic axes, Rexroth opens up new dimensions and allows highly dynamic movements to be performed with a positioning accuracy in the order of microns.

The drives that are provided with internal or external closed-loop control electronics fit seamlessly into Rexroth's modular hydraulic product system and consequently into the function modules.
