The Linear Motion and Assembly Technologies unit of Bosch Rexroth AG can trace its roots back, on the one side, to a long-established rolling bearing manufacturer, founded in 1904 and known to the industry under the STAR brand, and on the other side, to the assembly technology unit of the former industrial automation arm of Robert Bosch GmbH, known in the market under the BOSCH brand. – Since 2001, the “Rexroth” brand has stood for the entire industrial and automation technology portfolio of Bosch Rexroth AG, which was formed by merging the operations of the former Mannesmann Rexroth company with the automation technology unit of Bosch into one large business unit within the Bosch Group. Under the brand name of Rexroth the company offers all drive and control technologies, from mechanics, hydraulics and pneumatics through to electronics. The global player, represented in over 80 countries, is an extensive supplier of components and systems for industrial and factory automation and mobile applications.Bosch Rexroth's Linear Motion Technology, this technology is based on the principle of rolling bearings. The idea of enabling linear motion with unrestricted travel through recirculation of the balls was protected in a French patent granted in 1932 (cf. p. 97 “Linearlager und Linearführungssysteme” , August Georg Ruß et al., Esslingen, 2000). This principle was first put into practice in the form of ball bushings running on hardened and ground steel shafts. Though profiled rails were first manufactured in Japan, almost 40 years after the original French patent, they were soon being produced in similar forms in Europe. Ever since, these systems have been continuously refined to meet new requirements on load capacities, rigidity, precision and speed. As the technology has evolved it has increasingly displaced traditional sliding bearings in a wide variety of machines.
Products
Products include Ball Rail® and Roller Rail™ systems, linear bushings and shafts, precision ball screw assemblies, linear motion systems, aluminum structural framing, ergonomic workstations, flexible assembly conveyors, and multi-axis handling systems.
Aluminum Framing
There are many uses for Bosch Rexroth extruded aluminum framing. Recently, Alan Koch of Taalman Koch Architecture added one more item to the list with his prefabricated iT residential house, whose structural elements are built using Rexroth extruded aluminum framing. The iT house and iT Kit are Taalman Koch’s signature pieces—creating a completely unique approach to modular housing that uses a prefab kit with the opportunity for extreme personalization. The house is modern, cool, and easily customizable because of its framework. Made entirely with glass and aluminum framing, the house is ideal for clientele seeking a unique living experience. The structural frame’s lightweight and easy-to-assemble components create clean lines and a sleek exterior design. The iT houses currently under construction are being built with Rexroth extruded aluminum profiles in two main shapes: A 90 x 90 mm profile cross section and a 90 x 180 mm profile. When a house is ordered and the aluminum is needed, a cut list is sent to the nearest Bosch Rexroth distributor, who then cuts the 90 x 90 columns and 90 x 180 beams to the proper length. One of the exceptional features of the house is the use of Bosch Rexroth’s structural extrusions, since they are not typically used to build houses. Until now the components have been used most frequently in manufacturing operations to build machine bases, factory workstations, and machine and perimeter guarding. Initial architectural projects have been mostly partitioned office and factory spaces (including clean rooms) using Rexroth’s special wall and ceiling components. But the key ingredient in the products’ factory success also appealed to Taalman Koch: Easy assembly with bolt-together construction. No special tools or skills are needed. Assembly time is significantly reduced when compared to steel (or wood) structures. Advantages of using aluminum structural framing include time savings and ease of construction with factory pre-cut and pre-drilled parts; lightweight components that require as few as two people to erect a structure; an attractive high-tech look that won’t rust; and a special factory-finish. “All these elements combined make building the house quicker and less expensive,” says Koch. “The parts are extremely high quality, thus making the final product a high-quality home.” Online research led Taalman Koch to choose Bosch Rexroth’s structural framing system as the one with the best components for their project. Bosch Rexroth was a natural selection because of its global presence, an important factor for Taalman Koch, since they were interested in the company’s distribution network as an alternative to centralized shipping. Prefabricated housing is becoming quite the rage, and according to Koch, “The consumer can buy a house much more like buying a product—what you see is what you get. Speed of construction is also a huge perk. The fact that a house can be set up in a matter of days is ideal.”
