What's Happening?
Bosch Rexroth and HydraForce have launched a new tool called i-CHoose, aimed at simplifying the design of compact hydraulic systems. This tool is described as the industry's first unified workflow for
configuring hydraulic integrated circuits, compact directional valves, and compact power modules. i-CHoose integrates the full portfolios of both companies, offering built-in 2D and 3D visualization tools to assist engineers in designing custom hydraulic circuits. The tool supports various export formats, facilitating integration across engineering, purchasing, and production teams. It also includes Bosch Rexroth's EDH and EDG valve families, allowing for detailed component data and error checking.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of i-CHoose represents a significant advancement in the field of hydraulic system design, offering engineers a more efficient and accurate way to configure complex systems. This tool could lead to faster development times and reduced errors in hydraulic system design, benefiting industries that rely on these systems, such as manufacturing and construction. By streamlining the design process, Bosch Rexroth and HydraForce are enhancing their competitive edge in the market, potentially leading to increased adoption of their products. The tool's ability to integrate with existing workflows and support various export formats makes it a versatile solution for engineering teams.
What's Next?
As i-CHoose becomes available, Bosch Rexroth and HydraForce will likely focus on promoting its adoption among existing and potential clients. They may also gather user feedback to refine and enhance the tool's features. The companies will continue to support legacy systems while encouraging users to transition to the new platform. The success of i-CHoose could prompt further innovations in hydraulic system design tools, potentially influencing industry standards and practices.
