Leading manufacturer of packaging machines confirms continued cooperation in the field of automation with Bosch Rexroth

  • Joint development of automation solutions agreed for the next four years
  • Schubert plans to introduce the latest generation of cabinet-free drives based on ctrlX AUTOMATION

Bosch Rexroth AG and Gerhard Schubert GmbH, which specializes in robotic packaging machines, have set out the framework for their continued future cooperation. The existing partnership, which began nearly 40 years ago, has been extended for another four years. The plan is to introduce the latest generation of cabinet-free drives based on the ctrlX AUTOMATION platform.

Bosch Rexroth AG and Gerhard Schubert GmbH have confirmed that they will continue to collaborate for another four years.

By signing the new contract, the two companies are reaffirming their commitment in terms of quality, service and timely delivery. The plan is to introduce the latest generation of cabinet-free drives based on the ctrlX AUTOMATION toolkit and collaborate on other joint development projects.

Ralf Schubert, Managing Director for Technology, Gerhard Schubert GmbH, explains: “The next generation of cabinet-free drive technology based on ctrlX DRIVE will be an essential component of future generations of our machines. Given that we know that Bosch Rexroth also provides excellent support, we are only too pleased to continue being part of this successful partnership.”

Steffen Winkler, CSO Business Unit Automation & Electrification Solutions at Bosch Rexroth, has already been working closely with Schubert for several years and says: “In the past, we have often come up with joint ideas that only a few people initially thought would be feasible but that have gone on to be huge success stories.”

Bosch Rexroth has been developing drive solutions with the packaging machine manufacturer Schubert since the mid-1980s. This cooperation has resulted in several joint innovative developments that have changed the market, such as drive technology for cabinet-free packaging machines or Schubert’s Transmodul transport robot.
