Motion controllers are pieces of electronics (and in an increasing number of integrated cases, electrical supplies) that run software to command movements on automated pieces of machinery. For more information on this, visit motioncontroltips.com/motion-controller. Motion controllers are designed to regulate the specific actuator type on the axes they’re commanding. That means these controllers include intelligence […]

Electromechanical cylinder is powerful, features hygienic design
With the second generation EMC electromechanical cylinder, Rexroth expands the possibilities for utilizing these compact drive units. With their hygienic design and IP65 protection class, they are now suitable for applications with frequent cleaning cycles in the food industry. The new size EMC100-XC-2 increases the power density for feeding forces of up to 56 kN, […]
New synchronous motors from Rexroth
The new IndraDyn S series MS2N carefully performs intelligent scans all the way up to the motor. This is possible because the individual measurements of each individual motor, as well as saturation and temperature data, are stored in the respective motor’s memory and automatically processed by IndraDrive controllers. This information greatly increases the precision of […]
Integrated absolute value measuring system with FANUC interface
Internationally active manufacturers of machine tools, 3D printers and related systems often provide their customers with the choice between two to three CNC controllers to cover regional preferences. While doing so, they follow a common-part strategy below the drive level as much as possible in order to reduce costs and complexity. In addition to interfaces […]
Technologies from Bosch Rexroth you missed at MD&M West
MD&M West is known for its unwavering usefulness to attendees and exhibitors alike, and this year’s event delivered as usual. Here’s what we saw at the Bosch Rexroth booth (within the colocated ATX West) during our visit at the show. A main focus at the Bosch Rexroth booth was connected automation technology — also called the Internet of […]
Rexroth’s Open Core Interface lets machine builders create functions without a PLC
Machine builders can gain a competitive edge with new capabilities for high-level language programming and access to the core of the control system Rexroth’s standard control platforms support the company’s Open Core Interface, which allows the expansion of individual machine functions created with high-level programming languages. Part of its Open Core Engineering (OCE) framework for […]
Rexroth IndraControl XM series programmable logic controllers integrate I/O for speed and flexibility
Bosch Rexroth’s IndraControl XM21/22 programmable logic controller further contributes to the speed and flexibility of the IndraControl XM series. The Rexroth family of programmable logic controllers, XM 12/21/22, integrates the modular IndraControl S20 I/O series into the controller. When combined with the Sercos automation bus, speed and flexibility are added to make one functionally complete […]
Right turn for higher energy efficiency: Frequency converters from Rexroth
All over the world, industrial end-users are demanding energy-efficient machines and equipment to significantly reduce operating cost and reduce their carbon footprint (CO2 emissions). By using demand oriented electromechanical energy, users are able to take vital steps in the right direction achieving those goals. For example, speed-controlled induction motors in variable-speed pump drives can reduce […]
