Application-oriented solutions open up
new degrees of freedom for economical
digital connection of hydraulic valves
Drive technology: Power meets intelligence
CytroBox, the new generation of hydraulic power units, shows how
Connected Hydraulics fluid technology is integrated with the Internet
of Things (IoT) and thus simplifies design and commissioning.
It provides a new solution approach for the medium performance
range from 7.5 to 30 kW. It is also the blueprint for IoT integration of
larger power units.
CytroBox brings together all components in a compact housing.
Sytronix variable-speed pump drives with inherent intelligence
adapt the speed to suit demand using predefined controllers. This
reduces the power consumption of the hydraulics in cyclical applications
by up to 80 percent. The tank with optimised degassing and
flow reduces the oil volume by 75 percent, from 600 litres to a mere
150 litres. In addition, the noise emission of the CytroBox is less
than 75 dB(A) – even at full load.
Smart, connected condition monitoring
The integrated CytroConnect software solution uses sensors to
record all relevant performance and operating data. The software
processes the data decentrally and sends it to the cloud in
encrypted form. Using the browser-based interface, maintenance
technicians can wirelessly dial into the CytroConnect service
and retrieve the information independently of their location.
Machine manufacturers and end users can integrate
CytroConnect as a module into their own digital IoT maintenance
concepts.
