Assemblers have long relied on manual and pneumatic presses for crimping, staking, swaging, clinching and press-fit assembly. However, these machines have inherent limitations in accuracy, control, flexibility and data collection. Servo-driven presses overcome these limitations.

What do a rotary indexing assembly machine, a workstation, and the drum kit for the rock band Pink Floyd have in common?

Bosch Rexroth's new ctrlX DRIVE is a compact, modular drive system designed to help engineers satisfy all three of those priorities.

Modular, reliable, efficient: The TS5 Transfer System is a powered roller conveyor that can be quickly integrated into existing lines for industries like automotive, electronics and appliance manufacturing and battery production.

With the 24 V modular system, SCHUNK is defining a new benchmark in assembly automation.

Traditionally, a complex manufacturing machine has one large, powerful controller that governs sequencing, motion and I/O. Multiple drives and motors are connected to the controller via a motion network.
