Rexroth has introduced a new size to its range of modular directional valves, rated at up to 25 Litres/min and for working pressures of up to 310 bar
With the Rexroth FlexProfile, the engineer has even greater flexibility to deploy single-axis or synchronised motion solutions with minimal software effort.
A library containing more than 30 motion rules or a conventional ECAM table can be used to define the individual motion sequence for each axis.
Every motion segment can be referenced to a leading axis position or time segment.
When using Rexroth FlexProfile, a relationship can be established between motion segments on multiple axes to ensure that the pre-defined dependencies are retained when parameters are changed.
As a result, no software or programming effort is needed for product or size changeover.
The engineer enters key parameters at the start of a new project, and the system then generates the basic programme code.
This allows the engineer to concentrate on the implementation of the process functionality without having to worry about the basic functions.
