A leading medical device manufacturer in North America had a problem: how to expand production without increasing its manufacturing footprint.

As one of the world's leading manufacturing companies, Bosch strives to be both a lead provider and a lead user of Industry 4.0 technologies. Worldwide, the company has more than 70 Internet of Things (IoT) projects running in a variety of industries and applications.

The special machines builder, Behr Systems, relies on the ActiveMover from Rexroth to precisely move workpiece pallets independently of each other with a wide range of accelerations to freely definable positions.

Tough enough to withstand hundreds of reconfigurations, Bosch Rexroth Aluminum Structural Framing provides a wide range of aluminum profile types, connectors and accessories.

Of the various robots used for automated assembly, the Cartesian robot is the least complex. Also known as a linear or gantry robot, a Cartesian robot can only move its end effector in straight lines along the X, Y and Z axes.

Engineers have a bewildering array of choices for linear guides. Does the application require round rails or profile rails? Should the sliders ride on plain bearings or ball bearings?

The Factory of the Future Roadshow is a traveling showcase of Bosch Rexroth industrial automation solutions that increase productivity, safety and energy efficiency on the manufacturing shop floor.
