About Bosch Rexroth
Bosch Rexroth supplies drive, control and automation technology for industrial and mobile machinery. Its portfolio combines hydraulics, electric drives and motors, linear-motion systems, ctrlX Automation controls and software, and smart mechatronic assemblies.
Machine builders and factory operators use these layers to engineer production, handling and logistics equipment. The company supplies components and automation platforms; final robot capability depends on the machine design, application software and integrated safety system.
