Hydraulic drive unit and method of operating

Abstract

A hydraulic drive unit for a shaping machine comprising a pump driven by a motor, a closed-loop or open-loop control unit for closed-loop and/or open-loop control of the drive unit to a reference operating point of the drive unit, and a memory connected to the closed-loop or open-loop control unit, wherein a relationship between a parameter characteristic of a sound directly or indirectly caused by the drive unit and a data set representing various operating points of the drive unit is stored in the memory and the closed-loop or open-loop control unit is adapted to select the reference operating point on the basis of the relationship.
