Architectural Aluminum Cutting Equipment Application Example

A touch panel is used to set the size of the cut and to display the length measurement after cutting.

[ Actuator ] RCP2-SS8C-I-56P-10-650-P1
[ Controller ] PCON-C-56PI-DV-2-0

A ROBO Cylinder® has been adopted for sending architectural material to an aluminum cutting device.

A touch panel is used to set the size of the cut and to display the length measurement after cutting.

By using a field network supported PCON, you can read the data and display the present value on the touch panel.

Press-fitting plastic caps onto cosmetics bottles – CT-Effects Application Example

Failures were eliminated by replacing air cylinders with ROBO® Cylinders for the press-fit process.

[Issues until now]
  • To meet the required cycle time, the “Approach Movement”→”Press-fit motion” was set at the same high speed with the air cylinder.
  • Press-fitting at high speed caused some caps to become deformed.
[Improvement Details]
  • The Approach Movement speed on the ROBO Cylinder® was set higher than the air cylinder.
  • The Press-fit Motion was set to switch to low speed.
  • The return movement was set to high-speed.
[Improvement Results]
  • Deformation of the cap has been prevented.

Failure Occurrence Rate: 6% → 0%

The Cycle Time was Improved
