Bosch Rexroth and HydraForce have launched i-CHoose, a compact hydraulics configuration instrument designed to streamline the design of compact hydraulic techniques. The 2 corporations say this design software program is “the business’s first unified workflow for configuring hydraulic built-in circuits (HICs), compact directional valves (CDVs) and compact energy modules (CPMs).” i-Select was constructed by integrating the total Bosch Rexroth and HydraForce compact hydraulics portfolios.
The configuration instrument options built-in 2D and 3D visualization instruments that affirm layouts at each stage. Engineers can design customized HICs utilizing drag-and-drop performance to position, measurement and validate each part inside an entire hydraulic circuit. i-CHoose additionally helps a variety of export codecs, together with 3D STEP information, DXFs, PDFs and detailed technical drawings for simpler integration amongst engineering, buying and manufacturing groups.
The brand new platform additionally incorporates Bosch Rexroth’s EDH and EDG valve households, permitting for standalone and hybrid directional valve configurations. Bosch Rexroth famous that, with this new instrument, engineers can choose, prepare and validate CDVs with detailed part knowledge and built-in error checking.
Whereas i-CHoose doesn’t open legacy i-Design and CHoose information, Bosch Rexroth and HydraForce mentioned they are going to proceed to assist i-Design 5.7 and CHoose for current initiatives and designs.
Get the free i-CHoose instrument. Customers can request a software program key to unlock full entry to the mixed Bosch Rexroth and HydraForce Compact Hydraulics libraries, together with all configurations, validation and export options.
