Bosch Rexroth has developed the innovative EasyHandling system, which seamlessly integrates electro-mechanical axes, pneumatic axes, drives and controls in one pick and place system. EasyHandling makes the automation of handling systems much easier, faster and more economical. This comprehensive handling system simplifies the automation process by integrating all drive and control technologies with linear systems, standardised mechanical and electrical interfaces and new commissioning assistants, all of which are perfectly matched.
Users no longer have to custom-engineer solutions for handling tasks and purchase individual components to build the machine. With EasyHandling, the integration is seamless and reduces the total time required to assemble, configure and commission a plant by up to 80%, depending on the application.
“Previously separate technologies were required for the automation process. Now with the bundling of the technologies and expertise, the EasyHandling system can combine pneumatic axes with electro-mechanical axes, making it more than just a modular set of mechanical components,” says Kevin Lombard, general manager of Tectra Automation.
EasyHandling is designed to simplify various phases of a project, offer excellent scalability and optimise the process from engineering right through to the operational phase, reducing the strain on resources across the board.
The system is available in three variants; basic, comfort and advanced, which provide outstanding solutions for all layers of assembly and handling automation.
EasyHandling Basic is designed for mechanical and pneumatic components, grippers, rotary modules, motors, and sensors, single and multi-axis linear systems. EasyHandling comfort adds pre-parameterised multi-protocol-enable servo drives to the basic component set. EasyHandling advanced makes configuration motion logic and handling easy, with scalable, pre-configured motion logic control systems.
