Bosch Rexroth
Control up to 250 CNC axes
With the current software version of the MTX CNC system, Bosch Rexroth is expanding and simplifying the digital engineering of machine tools through to 3D machining simulation.
Based on hardware that can be scaled in three stages, the CNC system offers high performance and controls up to 250 CNC axes in up to 60 channels with one controller - including PLC functionality.
The manufacturer 's current software version includes software packages for all common machining processes as well as for beam cutting and hybrid machines. Engineering is carried out consistently via the central engineering software 'IndraWorks' for project planning, parameterization and testing of CNC, PLC and HMI. The CNC system provides OPC UA Client/Server.
The VDW's manufacturer-independent information model for machine tools 'umati' is also supported. Using these open standards, end users can use the CNC system to integrate automated machine tools into heterogeneous IoT environments and the factory of the future without any additional effort.
