Assembly Technology Bosch Rexroth - ESD (antistatic)
ESD Workplaces
Bosch Rexroth assembly technology sets the benchmark for modular industrial workstation infrastructure. The VarioFlow plus chain conveyor system handles workpiece carriers up to 20 kg per carrier at transport speeds of 0.1-0.5 m/s, while the TS 2plus and TS 5 pallet transfer systems support pallet loads of up to 250 kg and cycle times under 3 seconds - fully compliant with ISO 9001 and IEC 61340-5-1 for ESD-safe assembly environments. Aluminium structural profiles (45 mm and 90 mm grid) integrate with standardised T-slot connections, enabling reconfiguration without special tooling.
As an authorised distributor for Bosch Rexroth assembly and conveyor technology, esd.equipment stocks 4,563 active line items spanning structural profiles, transfer systems, VarioFlow plus conveyors, workplaces, grab containers, RFID integration components, and all associated accessories - all sourced from verified Bosch Rexroth production batches and available with full documentation for DIN EN ISO and CE-compliant process lines.
