Traditional hydraulic and pneumatic pressing systems are loud, require high maintenance, and lack data tracking capabilities. Bosch Rexroth Smart Function Kits solve these issues by combining heavy-duty mechanical linear modules with smart servo drives and intuitive software into a single plug-and-produce subsystem.
If you are looking to integrate a high-precision electromechanical axis for interference fits, crimping, bending, or assembly rivets, the Smart Function Kit for Pressing provides a ready-to-use solution.
What is a Bosch Rexroth Smart Function Kit?
A Bosch Rexroth Smart Function Kit is a pre-assembled mechatronic package that eliminates the need to source separate mechanical components, load cells, drives, and monitoring software. Everything arrives fully integrated, calibrated, and ready to install.
Core Hardware Components Included
- Mechanical Linear Module: Built upon robust Linear Module MKK or Compact Module CKK platforms, or heavy-duty Electromechanical Cylinders (EMC).
- Precision Ball Screw Drive: Utilizes premium Bosch Rexroth Ball Screw Assemblies to deliver high force repeatability and sub-micron positioning.
- Integrated Force Sensor: Measures real-time pressing forces to ensure quality control on every single cycle.
- Servo Drive and Motor: Paired with dynamic Rexroth IndraDrive or ctrlX DRIVE motor systems for precise velocity profile control.
Key Benefits of Smart Pressing and Joining Modules
+-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| Manual Process Headache | Rexroth Smart Function Kit Solution | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| Messy hydraulic oil leaks | 100% Clean, electromechanical operation | | No data tracking for quality | Live force vs. displacement curve mapping | | Complex PLC programming needed | Visual, wizard-guided software setup | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
1. Seamless Data Tracking and Quality Assurance
Every joining and pressing application requires validation. The integrated software provides live Force vs. Displacement (F/s) curve analysis. If a component is misaligned or out of tolerance, the system instantly flags it as a reject.
2. Zero-Programming Software Setup
The software comes pre-installed on the drive. It features an intuitive, visual wizard that allows you to configure your pressing steps without writing a single line of PLC code. You can easily set up multi-step sequences, target force limits, and hold times via a standard web browser.
3. High Energy and Eco-Efficiency
Unlike hydraulic pumps that run continuously and waste electricity, the electromechanical ball screws inside the MKK and CKK modules only draw power during the active pressing stroke. This slashes factory floor energy consumption by up to 80%.
Selecting Your Smart Pressing Subsystem Digitally
Designing and scaling your electromechanical press does not require complex force or torque math. You can easily specify and configure your exact setup using online engineering utilities:
- Open the Linear Motion Technology Selector to filter packages by your maximum required pressing force (available in ranges from 1 kN to over 100 kN).
- Use the Linear Motion Designer (LMD) to verify mechanical fatigue safety thresholds and calculate the exact expected runtime lifespan of your integrated ball screw drive under continuous high-force cycles.
