Quick PDF Part Search Added

The Robo Cylinder product series are now available as individual product PDFs. You can do a quick search for any specific Robo Cylinder product by typing in a model number, type or feature in the search box.

Here is a brief overview on how to use the quick part search.

1. Go to www.IntelligentActuator.com and click on “Part Search” at the top.
Part Search Menu

2. When you arrive at the Part Search page, scroll down past the Robo Cylinder overview pdfs to find the quick search table.
Quick Search Table

3. Type in a model number, product type, or feature and the table will instantly narrow down the results. Click on the model number to view the product pdf.
Filtered Results

That’s it. This will help you find product info quickly without having to download large pdfs and then look for a specific product. More product pdfs will be added soon. If all goes well, you’ll be able to quick search our entire line.

This will work on many mobile devices as well (iphone, ipad, android os, etc.), which comes in handy when you’re not near a computer.

Give it a try. If you like it, how about giving us a “like” at the top of the Part Search page?

Application Examples

Coating – Inspection Process – Pick & Place Application Example

Inspection / Examination / Etc.
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.

Container Sealing Application Example
Actuator
RCP2-GRHM
Controller
 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.
