Secure motion with collision control

Modern stage technology enables increasingly challenging motion sequences with numerous complex drives. These sequences often include multi-dimensional and interdependent motions. A clear view on the drives is often restricted due to decoration and curtains. The two collision control modules of the SYB 3.0 stage control system developed by Rexroth assist technical personnel with challenging tasks.
Anti-collision system
The anti-collision system recognizes any potential collisions in advance and prevents the initiation of motions at the respective drives or stops any motions that are already in process. Collisions are prevented between drives and between drives and fixed structural components in compliance with safety integrity level 3. This system protects stage equipment from heavy damage due to collisions during set-up, rehearsals and shows.
Anti-collision assistant
The function of the anti-collision assistant to support technical personnel can be compared to the parking assistant in a car. Personnel is warned of any potential collisions by visual feedback with various warning levels dependent on the speed and distance until collision. This is realized in real time either while the motion is in progress or even already during programming of the show. In this respect, all drives and decorations are monitored by the assistant.
Economical, precise, safe, and energy efficient: drive and control technology from Bosch Rexroth moves machines and systems of any size. The company bundles global application experience in the market segments of Mobile Applications, Machinery Applications and Engineering, and Factory Automation to develop innovative components as well as tailored system solutions and services. Bosch Rexroth offers its customers hydraulics, electric drives and controls, gear technology, and linear motion and assembly technology all from one source. With locations in over 80 countries, more than 29,500 associates generated sales revenue of approximately 5 billion euros in 2016.
