Anti-Vibration Function Demo Video

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.


ISWA Splash Proof Linear Electric Actuator Video

This display unit is presented to show you how our splash proof slider type ISWA actually operates in an environment where water is constantly pumped out.

Designed with a cleaning system in mind, the slider moves with water being splashed onto it from four directions.

When an air purge is used, this actuator can provide an IP65 protective structure to minimize entry of water and foreign objects into the interior. This design is actually used in machining processes where the actuator is subject to splashed coolant, flying metal chips, etc.

Electric Camming with 5-axis ROBO Cylinder Video

This display unit uses the electronic cam function of the XSEL controller to guide a mechanical pencil lead through the eye of a sewing needle. As you can see, the slave axis is accurately following the movements of the master axis.

As the 0.5mm pencil lead is guided through the eye of the sewing needle, the actuator moves horizontally.

The point of the operation is to align the operation timings of both actuators. Then the electronic cam function is used, the two actuators can be driven by aligning their operation timings.

This new function lets you shorten the cycle times of your system of align the timings of multiple actuators.


High Speed Multi-Slider Electric Cam Video

This display unit has two independently operating sliders. More specifically, it uses two linear servo actuators of multi-slider specification to transfer and pass/receive CDs at high speed.

This configuration of actuators consists of a total of 12 axes, including table-type, rod-type, and rotary and gripper actuators all installed on the slider of the linear servo actuators.

By using the electronic cam function of the XSEL controller, it is all controlled accurately at high speed.

Since the respective actuators can be moved by aligning the timings of their respective operations such as rotation, gripping, release, horizontal, longitudinal, and vertical movement of work parts, the cycle times are shortened compared to when movement commands are issued by waiting for the operation of each actuator to complete.
