ROBO Cylinder Sample Applications

Pneumatic cylinders can, with some difficulty and constant maintenance, achieve accurate positioning and precise control.  The ROBO Cylinder, however,  is specifically designed to meet these goals with economy, efficiency, and ease of use.  The examples below illustrate the flexibility of the ROBO Cylinder and its adaptability to a wide variety application requirements.

In this application, the "push function" of the ROBO Cylinder is used for ultrasonic welding.	I/O is coordinated to create a simple, low-cost pick and place system. One ROBO Cylinder is used to move a crate of tiles into position. A sensor detects when the material has reached the proper height and two ROBO Cylinders then pick and place each individual tile. (Note the space-saving, "Folded Motor" construction of the first ROBO Cylinder, a high-thrust RCP-SMRI-H-800-S)
The ROBO Cylinder PUSH function used in the testing of switches after assembly.	A ROBO Cylinder moving at a fixed speed ensures the surface uniformity of a trough containing a solvent with a high viscosity coefficient.
An RC positions a vision sensor which inspects tire markings. Multiple-positioning capability enables this system to process tires of various widths.	Two Rod type actuators used in conjunction with an Integrated Combination System to position discs.
The incremental motion capability of a Rod type actuator synchronizes the position of a stocker to collect material from a conveyor.	A ROBO Cylinder used to position a dispensing head at various heights.
In conjunction with an IS actuator, the Rod type pictured is used for a part-insertion application.  "Push Function" controls the amount of force used for insertion.	Two Rod type actuators used in conjunction with an Integrated Combination System.  As the height of a stack of vinyl is measured by a sensor, incremental motion is used to raise the vinyl to the proper position. A ROBO Cylinder then moves individual sheets of vinyl to the conveyor for use in packaging bread.
The ROBO Cylinder PUSH function is used in resistance welding of electronic components.	The ROBO Cylinder PUSH function is used to insert mounting pins into a PCB.
A Rod type inserts and retracts a nozzle into a shampoo container, so as to fill it without bubbling.
