Rexroth
Press Automation
Intelligent Press Transfer Solutions
Rexroth has been a motion control world leader in
the press room for the last 20 years. When production demanded more flexibility than mechanical
transfer systems could offer, Rexroth products where
there to fill this need. Rexroth continues this tradition with new solutions, even more scalable and powerful for your increased performance needs.

Safety Advantage:
The IndraDrive can be equipped with
EN954-1 Category 3 compliant
SAFETY
ON
Safety on Board technology.
BOARD
Integrated protective functions
- Redundant motor and press encoders
Mechanics can be monitored by load side encoder
Blackout synchronization
- System will stay synchronized to press during a
blackout until press has stopped
Electronic Line Shafting (ELS) System Master Slip
Monitoring w/ deviation window and error reaction
Rexroth high-power frequency
converter drives provide energy
recovery and maintenance-free
main press drives.

Redundant press &

motor encoders
enhance machine
safety.

The Rexroth Motion

Control coordinates the
movements of all axes and
controls all machine I/O in
all operating modes, thus
ensuring precise
synchronization between
transfer and press.

Precise and programmable

electronic cams replace
expensive, inexible mechanical
cams improving reliability and
productivity.

Finished parts of highest

quality, produced with
maximum stoke rates and
minimum scrap.

Motion Advantage:
Use of motion Sercos interface for precise
synchronization
Adaptable filtering for press encoders
- Filters out press disturbances
Multiple ELS system masters
Dynamic ELS master switching
- Switch between real & virtual master(s) on the fly
IEC61131-3 compliant IndraLogic PLC
Local IO and fieldbus options
- Ethernet/IP, ControlNet, Profibus, DeviceNet
PLCOpen motion programming
Additional axis setup (up to 64 axes total)
- Cam infeed, de-stacker, stacker & other axes
can be added to base program

Application Advantage:
In-Die Press Transfer base program template
Auto Top Stop
- ELS Groups will instantaneously synchronize
to the virtual master(s) and stop when the
transfer is in the down and out (safe) position
Cam calculations easy & transparent
- Simply provide the start & stop angles for each
axes and the type of cam
- Calculating cams in this fashion makes it
independent of firmware and allows the user to
define the cam profile that best fits the
application
Intelligent digital IndraDrive amplifiers
- Drive cams free up the motion controller
allowing it to process other critical operations
Maximum cam speed vs. press speed verification
Faster job/machine startup
- Virtual master press simulation
- Synchronized homing
- Part point teaching
- Negative cam following
- One step synchronization to the press

Press Automation | In-Die Press Transfer Solutions

In-Die, Cross-Bar and Tandem Press Lines

The Rexroth press transfer system allows for smooth
transfer of parts between presses at high rates and
with state-of-the-art safety characteristics. The
IndraDrive effectively controls de-stacking and conveying devices, set down stations, orientation stations, part turning devices, shuttles and main press
drives. This making the Rexroth solution the choice
for todays Press Transfer System.

Characteristic Advantages:
Precise coordinated movements from set down
stations to the complex kinematics of part loading
robots
Electric cams allow programming smooth motion
High-performance, flexible programming system
for online warning and collision avoidance
The press transfer and tooling can be set-up
through a virtual master axis thus checking for
existence of obstacles
Expansion of high precision synchronization up to 64 axis per controller (PPC) with up to 32
synchronized controllers

Safe Motion Advantage:

SAFETY
Safe Motion Technology
ON
The IndraDrive can be equipped with
BOARD
EN954-1 Category 3 compliant
Safety On Board technology.
Redundant controls provide very-short 2 msec
response times, which are required for todays machines with high accelerations and speeds. Modes such as
safe drive lockout, - safe operational stop, - reduced
speed, - safe direction, etc. and direct control of the
safety door lock plus background wire pulse testing,
increase safety and productivity.

All movements of the servo axes are referenced to the press

motion through electric cams or via a virtual master axis. Even
more safety is included due to the use of redundant press
encoders.

Dynamic servo drives on

the press feeders improve
part flow to the tandem
line.

Rexroth linear modules with

intelligent drives ensure reliable
production.
Complex part positioning of multi axes orientation stations and transfer mechanisms,
are perfectly coordinated and controlled with
Visual Motion and IndraDrive.
