Layer Cake Cutting Machine Application Example

Layer Cake Cutting Machine Application Example
Controller SCON-C
Actuators RCS2-SA7C
  • The ROBO Cylinder has been adopted into a cutting machine to cut 16 equal slices of a Baumkuchen (layer cake).
  • The cutting tool is fastened to the top of the slider of the ROBO Cylinder to cut the cake.
  • Previously, an air cylinder was used in which the speed was unstable which resulted in unclean cuts, and the shape of the cake was easily lost.
  • Furthermore, since the hardness of the cake varies depending on the type of cake, adjustment of the air cylinder pressing force was difficult thus stoppages in the operation had occurred.
  • Replacing with the ROBO Cylinder, clean cuts can be made while not losing the shape of the cake.
  • Additionally, stoppages lasting 10 to 15 minutes per hour were reduced to almost none. Production per hour also increased from 1500 to 1800 slices thus the quality of the cake was improved while also reducing the cycle time.

Notice of Production Discontinuation

We have made the difficult decision to discontinue these ROBO Cylinder controller models (RCP2, RCS, ECON, and P-Driver). We will accept orders of these controllers received on or before May 20, 2014.

Please be assured that we plan to continue maintaining and repairing your controllers for 10 years after the date of discontinuation. However, this period may change due to the availability of parts.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the discontinuation of the aforementioned controllers.

We offer a wide range of successor models to help you to continue meeting your controller requirements and needs.

Please download these notes on how to replace the discontinuing controllers with the newer models.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
