Speaker Cover Tab Folding System Application Example
Actuator
TT
Controller
(with Internal controller)
  • Automotive speaker cover tab folding system.
  • The table top TT has been chosen for this application.
  • There are 5-10 tabs that were folded manually, which is very labor intensive and of low quality.
  • By using the TT, the fixture which needs XY movement, can be easily programmed and results in better quality and reduces the cost.

Coating – Inspection Process – Pick & Place Application Example
Actuator
ICSA3 x 2
Controller
XSEL
  • Cartesian robots are used for picking and placing parts for the coating & inspection process.
  • The parts are randomly placed in the work space of the first Cartesian robot, and by using the vision system interface function, the positions of the parts are transferred to the XSEL controller and the parts are pick and placed onto the rotary table.
  • After the parts are coated and the inspected, the parts are palletized and boxed by the second Cartesian robot.
  • One XSEL controller is used to control two 3-axis Cartesian robots and the vision system is directly connected to the XSEL controller so the whole system is built without a PLC.

Quick PDF Part Search Added

November 4th, 2011 Posted in News |

The Robo Cylinder product series are now available as individual product PDFs. You can do a quick search for any specific Robo Cylinder product by typing in a model number, type or feature in the search box.

Here is a brief overview on how to use the quick part search.

1. Go to www.IntelligentActuator.com and click on “Part Search” at the top.
Part Search Menu

2. When you arrive at the Part Search page, scroll down past the Robo Cylinder overview pdfs to find the quick search table.
Quick Search Table

3. Type in a model number, product type, or feature and the table will instantly narrow down the results. Click on the model number to view the product pdf.
Filtered Results

That’s it. This will help you find product info quickly without having to download large pdfs and then look for a specific product. More product pdfs will be added soon. If all goes well, you’ll be able to quick search our entire line.

This will work on many mobile devices as well (iphone, ipad, android os, etc.), which comes in handy when you’re not near a computer.

Give it a try. If you like it, how about giving us a “like” at the top of the Part Search page?

8-axis ROBO Cylinder Electric Shaft Coin Demo Video

October 3rd, 2011 Posted in Application Examples, Videos |

This display unit uses the electronic shaft function of the XSEL controller to operate one master axis and seven slave axes in an interlocked pattern.

The eight rod cylinders are moved simultaneously under synchronization control to move sheet-shaped work parts up and down.

Since synchronized commands are issued via pulse train control to the controller that controls each actuator, the sheet-shaped work parts do not tilt and a coin balanced on the work parts remain stationary without tipping.

This function is useful in situations where sheet-shaped work parts such as glass substrates are transferred up and down.


Anti-Vibration Function Demo Video

September 30th, 2011 Posted in Application Examples, Videos |

This display unit uses the vibration damping control function of the XSEL controller to show you a visual comparison of the condition of vibration in normal movement and where vibration is suppressed by vibration damping control.

This function suppresses vibration of the actuator as well as vibration of the work part installed on the actuator.

Without vibration damping control, vibration increases and therefore the actuator must spend extra time to wait until the vibration stops.

With the vibration damping control function, the end of the work part is almost still because vibration is suppressed. This results in a shorter wait time and cycle time.

This function is also effective in situations when the mechanical rigidity of the system must be increased to suppress vibration.

Note that this function can suppress vibration in a frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 30 Hz.
