Actuators: RCP2-SS8C and RCP4-RA5C

By automating the adhesive application process,
the product quality has improved greatly!!

【 Issues Until Now 】

  • The adhesive application process used to be done manually.
  • There was inconsistency in the quality of the finished products, and about 40% of the products were defective.

【Importance of Improvement】

  • To promote the consistency of product quality by automating the application process

【Improvement Details】

  • The application process was automated by introducing
  • two-axes combined Cartesian robots that use Robo Cylinders.

【Improvement Effects】

  • The quality of the work improved, and
    the rate of defective products decreased from approximately 40% →0%.

Function of the Robo Cylinders being used
Positioning

In equipment that prints barcodes onto work, a rod type ROBO Cylinder® has been adopted for a device that lowers and raises the inkjet printer.

A sensor detects the height of the work, and the height of the inkjet printer is adjusted accordingly.

With this device, it became possible to automatically adjust the printing position even when the height of the work changes.
