As more and more opportunities for electrification emerge, battery performance and quality take center stage in the way the modern world operates.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is one of the driving forces behind Industry 4.0, transforming automation and production. 

The Smart Flex Effector is an intelligent tool that increases precision in handling and joining applications. 

Production system end users are faced with a wide variety of automation tasks, from simple Cartesian pick-and-place applications all the way up to highly dynamic machines with multiple synchronized axes. 

In the past, designing, integrating and programming even a simple three- or four-axis system like that would have required considerable time and effort.

Best known for its high-profile use in industrial automation, Bosch Rexroth’s ctrlX CORE control system also easily adapts to applications in other sectors.

Today’s manufacturing environments need to easily, rapidly modify their production systems and layouts to meet changing production needs — and Bosch Rexroth designs its factory automation portfolio to meet those needs. 

With the FRAMEpro CAD plug-in, Bosch Rexroth brings its proven modular aluminum profile system for machine frames and housings into the Autodesk^® Inventor CAD environments and SOLIDWORKS from Dassault.

See how the Smart Function Kit can be easily, quickly configured to serve a multitude of factory manufacturing applications, from deburring and dispensing to handling, joining and pressing. 

For next generation handling applications, the Smart Function Kit for Handling makes it both easy and fast to build sophisticated handling solutions for a wide range of automation applications.
