- Traditionally, an articulated multi-jointed robot was used. However, it could get a little out of alignment with the divider plate inside the box thus occasionally stopping production

- By adopting the use of a IAI Cartesian robot, the X & Y axes could easily be fine-tuned in the proper directions such that fewer stops in production led to improved utilization of capacity

- If the work part is not acceptable, it is dropped into the NG (No Good) bin

- In addition, the cost of the robotic system could be reduced

- If defects are found in the printing, the ROBO Cylinder® is used to push the product and discharge it from the conveyor

- This was previously done manually

By introducing this system:

- Productivity has improved

- Conveyor speed can be increased

- Labor costs have been reduced

- Defects were eliminated

- The ROBO Cylinder® actuator was chosen, instead of an air cylinder to discharge the defective products, due to its “energy conservation” and “ease of programming” characteristics

- When this traditionally manual process was automated, tact time was significantly shorter. The operator is now able to do other tasks such as inspection.

- Program data for processing operations for each part can be easily configured and changed.

- Cups travel from left to right, and desserts travel from right to left on the upper conveyor.

- Once the cups and desserts travel nearer each other, the rotary actuator rotates up to allow the desserts to be placed into the cups. Once placed, the rotary actuator rotates down to allow the dessert and cup travel to the lower conveyor and to the right

- Previously, air-rotary actuators were used and it was difficult to adjust switching from the middle position and to accommodate dessert variety.

- RCP2-RA4C ROBO Cylinder uses incremental positioning between holes to move each part.

- RCP2-RA10C ROBO Cylinder has a file attached to the end of the rod which deburrs the part after it is positioned.

- Since this operation can now be automated, shorter cycle times can be achieved.

- Note: In this case the guide (single or double) would be most appropriate in the line of force (so that the guide is along the same plane as the extending horizontal axis) rather than across the body of the part. Please contact IAI America for more information.

- ISPWA actuator is used to feed needles to a cutting wheel so they can be cut to length

- RCAW actuator is used as an elevator to raise and lower the cutting wheel at a constant low speed

- Traditionally, the needles were fed by using an air cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder was used to actuate the cutting wheel

The following advantages are achieved by using the electric actuators:

1. The setup is easy to change

2. Better speed control in raising and lowering of the cutting wheel achieves better accuracy and results in an improvement of the quality of the cut surface

- Manufacturing equipment forces two plastic parts to bond using adhesive

- Since too much force would damage the plastic parts, the equipment utilizes RCL-SA actuators to supply a lower controlled force to act as a press
