Hydraulic system with AHP Smart Drive

We are currently working with a customer on a very interesting
hydraulic concept. Here, a customer wants to precisely control
several drives with very less energy consumption. This project is
currently being implemented and will definitely find its way into
the next magazine in 2023.
This much in advance: If it had been a drive with a maximum of
two axes, our E-AHP would have been the perfect drive. However,
since there are considerably more axles involved, we have devel-
oped an intelligently controlled hydraulic system, which is currently
called “AHP Smart Drive” within AHP.
