Round tube system Bosch Rexroth EcoShape
Workplaces Bosch Rexroth
Bosch Rexroth EcoShape is a round-tube modular construction system built on 28 mm and 54 mm diameter aluminium profiles, offering a wall thickness of 1.5 mm and a per-tube load capacity of up to 50 kg. The snap-fit connectors and tool-free assembly nodes reduce line-changeover time by up to 60% compared to conventional welded structures, making EcoShape the primary choice for lean-cell assembly, ergonomic workstation design, and gravity-roller conveyor integration compliant with ISO 9001 process requirements.
As an authorised distributor for Bosch Rexroth manual production systems, esd.equipment supplies the complete EcoShape portfolio - tubes, connectors, crossbars, feet, casters, and accessories - from stock in Europe, with full traceability to Bosch Rexroth part numbers and compliance documentation for IEC 62443 and DIN EN ISO 11228 ergonomic guidelines.
EcoShape Product Overview - Tubes, Connectors & Accessories
