The key to reducing production costs is found in CT effects. You may be able to further reduce costs if you look closely at the CT effects. So what exactly are CT effects?
Copper Wire Bobbin Winding Machine Application Example
Controller
PCON-CA
Actuators
RCP4W
This application significantly reduces the changeover time in a machine that winds a copper wire bobbin.
An actuator is used to wind a bobbin evenly by moving left and right with copper wire that comes out of washing machine. Since a rodless type air cylinder was used in the past, it was used at a reduced speed since the copper wire was damaged and made defective by the jerking of the sudden stops.
Furthermore, in order to change the speed of the air cylinder each time the diameter of the copper wire changes in the changeover, it takes time to adjust the speed controller. Productivity was reduced.
By replacing this rodless air cylinder with a ROBO Cylinder, the movement speed was able to be increased while eliminating any jerking due to stops. In addition, since there are no speed fluctuations due to changes in air pressure, the winding is now good.
An RCP4W dustproof water resistant type of actuator (IP 65) was selected to deal with water droplets that adhere to the copper wire due to the cleaning process.
Previously, dishes were manually fed and retrieved into the machine but it was to be automated using air cylinders to reduce cycle time and labor costs.
Initially, the dishes deviated in position from the suction pad by the impact on the YZ air cylinders which resulted in shutting down the machine and production did not increase.
It was decided to consider using electric actuators instead.
A system combining a two slider rotary nut NS actuator as the Y-axis, and RCP4-SA5C actuators as the Z-axes was considered.
The NS can operate without having the sliders collide since they can move independently on the same axis. It is also able to accelerate and decelerate faster thus allowing the cycle time to be shortened and stop without impact.
