Smart compact power units for machine tools
Industry 4.0 with HYDAC's CO1S start-stop power unit
The machine tools industry is always on the lookout for new smart solutions to drive the implementation of digital technologies in collaboration with development partners. One trend is the digitalisation of hydraulic power units. In this context, start-stop power units predominantly require defined operating parameters, e.g. with regard to running time, oil contamination and temperature. The HYDAC CO1S compact power unit enables you to maximise the availability of your machine tools. Find out more.
Higher productivity with digitalised hydraulic power units
Our hydraulic power units monitor themselves and inform the machine control about irregularities. How you benefit: maintenance becomes easier to plan – machine availability increases. Read more about the advantages of the CO1S power unit.
Challenges in the machine tool industrySmart compact power units for more efficiency
Every machine tool operator's goal is to prevent unscheduled downtimes. This is exactly what happens when hydraulic units are operated outside of the valid operating parameters for a long time. The result: machines stand idle, costing time and money.
The solution is simple. A smart power unit which monitors itself and informs the machine control about irregularities. With this approach, upcoming service requirements are recognised at an early stage and maintenance is planned in advance. This increases the productivity of your machine tools. Your Life Cycle Costs are also reduced due to careful use of resources.
The smart solution for optimised hydraulic functionsHYDAC CO1S compact power unit with condition monitoring
Our CO1 series has been tried-and-tested in worldwide use for a long time. As part of industry 4.0, our solutions are also becoming smarter, more digital and more efficient. The CO1S is no exception – equipped with reliable condition diagnostics and permanent data collection, conclusions about potential leaks or defective components are quickly spotted before downtime occurs. Messages are sent to you in a proactive way when operating parameters are exceeded. This ensures that your machine operation runs smoothly.

Temperature sensors with an IO-Link interface
A consistently high product quality can only be achieved when the machining tools are at a constant temperature. This is why cooling media and hydraulic fluids need to be reliably monitored.
Advantages of HYDAC temperature sensors
- Increased machine availability
- Accuracy stability over the entire useful life
- Consistently high machining quality
- Time savings thanks to Plug & Play technology
- Optimised stock control
- Minimal operating errors
- Simplified or optimised machine architecture / cabling
Network interface with IO-Link Master
Our network interface module IO-Link Master combines IO-Link field devices with automation systems/PLC's – equipped with four or eight ports from class A or B.
Advantages of the HYDAC network interface
- Simplified service and commissioning
- Remote diagnostics, remote maintenance, predictive maintenance
- Measurement and analysis
- Simplified, faster and more cost-effective cabling for the entire system via IO-Link Master
Filter element technology to prevent electrostatic charging in the system
Ash-free hydraulic fluids, more compact systems and finer filtration are increasingly leading to electrostatic charging and discharging in hydraulic systems and lubrication systems. Our Stat-X® filter element technology is proven to reduce electrostatic discharges and high oil charges – even in extremely critical systems with excellent ultra-fine filtration.
Advantages of HYDAC Stat-X® filter element technology
- Maximum safety due to a proven reduction in sparking
- Longer oil change intervals due to reduced oil degradation symptoms
- Reduction in unscheduled downtimes
- Reduced maintenance costs and longer maintenance intervals
Optional: modular controls for hydraulic systems
Get a ready-to-connect pressurised oil supply unit by cleverly linking the CO1 series with our horizontal stacking systems. The compact, modular valve stacking system is a control for oil hydraulic systems which are primarily used for pressure/force-holding tasks and controlling small-volume consumers.
Advantages of the HYDAC ML horizontal stacking system
- Small dimensions combined with high performance
- Zero-leakage directional poppet valves provide secure positioning of the consumer and long-term pressure stability without repeated oil supply
- Can be flanged directly to the CO1 power unit
- Modular expansion possible
