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.

 PCON
  • This operation was previously performed using two air cylinders to heat seal the neck of the container. Since it used two independently driven cylinders, they were not synchronized. Thus, the exact position that they sealed at was inconsistent, it was difficult to apply the same amount of heat each time, and this contributed to product non-conformance.

  • By replacing the air cylinders with a ROBO Cylinder electric gripper, better quality can be achieved.

    1. The heat sealing is more stable due to the finger synchronization.
    2. The heat time can be adjusted more precisely.
  • By replacing with the electric actuator gripper, the approaching speed was increased, and was able to reduce the cycle time by 25% and thus increase production from 2,000 to 2,500 containers.

8-axis ROBO Cylinder Electric Shaft Coin Demo Video

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.
