What is the Bosch Rexroth TS 2plus transfer system and what are its primary industrial applications?

The Bosch Rexroth TS 2plus transfer system is a modular pneumatic conveyor platform designed for automated material handling in manufacturing environments. This system serves automotive assembly lines, electronics manufacturing, packaging operations, and general industrial automation where precise workpiece positioning and gentle product transport are required. The TS 2plus architecture enables continuous flow production with integrated lift-rotate units, curved sections, and straight track profiles that accommodate varying payload requirements. Its modular design allows seamless integration into existing production lines while maintaining cycle times critical for lean manufacturing operations.

What are the key technical selection criteria for Bosch Rexroth TS 2plus components with specific dimensional specifications?

Selection of TS 2plus components depends on track profile dimensions, lift-rotate unit sizing, and angular positioning requirements based on application loads. Track profiles are available in SP 2/R-100 and SP2/C-100 configurations with 16x6070mm cross-sections for standard applications, while ST 2/R-H and ST 2/C-H profiles offer 12x6070mm dimensions for compact installations. Hub-Dreheinheit lift-rotate units come in SIZE1, SIZE2, and SIZE3 variants, with HD2 models featuring B160 base widths and LT160, LT240, or LT320 length options. Angular positioning includes 90-degree and 180-degree rotation capabilities with stroke lengths of 40mm and 90mm depending on workpiece handling requirements.

Which international standards and certifications apply to Bosch Rexroth TS 2plus transfer systems?

Bosch Rexroth TS 2plus transfer systems comply with ISO 9001 quality management standards and are designed according to EN ISO 12100 machinery safety requirements for automated handling equipment. The pneumatic components meet ISO 8573 compressed air quality standards and operate within DIN EN 983 specifications for pneumatic fluid power systems. Electrical components conform to IEC 60204-1 electrical safety standards for industrial machinery, while the overall system design adheres to CE marking requirements under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Additional compliance with ISO 14121 risk assessment protocols ensures safe integration into automated production environments.

What are the main differences between TS 2plus track profile variants and lift-rotate unit configurations?

TS 2plus track profiles differ primarily in cross-sectional geometry and load capacity, with SP 2/R-100 straight profiles offering 16x6070mm dimensions for heavy-duty applications while ST 2/R-H compact profiles provide 12x6070mm cross-sections for space-constrained installations. The R-designation indicates rigid mounting while C-variants feature cushioned sections for gentle product handling. Hub-Dreheinheit lift-rotate units scale from SIZE1 for light payloads through SIZE3 for heavy workpieces, with HD2 series offering variable base lengths from LT160 to LT320 and selectable stroke heights of 40mm or 90mm. Angular positioning options include 90-degree quarter-turns and 180-degree half-turns depending on production line layout requirements.

What are the installation requirements and system compatibility specifications for TS 2plus components?

TS 2plus installation requires compressed air supply at 6 bar operating pressure with ISO 8573-1 Class 7.4.4 air quality for reliable pneumatic actuation of lift-rotate units and transport mechanisms. The modular aluminum profile system mounts to standard T-slot framing or dedicated support structures with M8 fasteners at 40mm grid spacing. Electrical connections utilize 24VDC control voltage through M12 circular connectors for sensor integration and valve control, while pneumatic connections employ standard G1/8 threaded ports. System integration supports common fieldbus protocols including Profibus DP and DeviceNet for seamless communication with existing automation controllers and SCADA systems.

What safety ratings and environmental operating specifications apply to TS 2plus transfer systems?

TS 2plus transfer systems operate reliably in industrial environments from -10°C to +60°C ambient temperature range with relative humidity up to 95% non-condensing conditions. Pneumatic components function within 4 to 10 bar pressure range while maintaining consistent performance across temperature variations typical in manufacturing facilities. The aluminum construction provides IP54 protection against dust ingress and water spray, suitable for most industrial production environments. Safety features include integrated position sensors with SIL 1 safety integrity level capability and emergency stop integration through safety relay circuits meeting EN ISO 13849-1 Category 2 requirements for automated machinery applications.

What maintenance schedule and service life expectations apply to Bosch Rexroth TS 2plus systems?

TS 2plus transfer systems require preventive maintenance every 8,000 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first, including lubrication of pneumatic cylinders and inspection of track wear surfaces. The aluminum profile construction and precision pneumatic components provide service life expectancy of 10 years under normal industrial operating conditions with proper maintenance protocols. Critical inspection points include compressed air filter replacement every 2,000 hours, pneumatic seal condition assessment, and track alignment verification using precision measurement tools. Hub-Dreheinheit lift-rotate units require bearing lubrication every 5,000 cycles and position sensor calibration verification during scheduled maintenance intervals to maintain positioning accuracy within ±0.1mm specifications.
