In a packing machine, ROBO Cylinder was adopted for equipment that cuts packaging film to a set length.
As shown in the illustration above, two ROBO Cylinders are used to grab both ends of the film and send it out for cutting.
When air cylinders were used, it was not possible to synchronize the two, and film damage happened.
With the ROBO Cylinder, the synchronous function of the SSEL controller can be used to prevent film damage.

The table top robot TT series and the Micro Cylinder RCL series have been adopted as inspection equipment for buttons on electronics.
First, the Micro Cylinder RCL performs a push motion to measure the height of the switch on the electronic device.
Then a set distance is moved back and forth to push every switch.
Previously, when using an electromagnetic solenoid, the z-axis had to be adjusted every time the product type changed.
The manual labor has been reduced after switching to the RCL.

ROBO Cylinder® was adopted for equipment that performs both processes of applying silicon to a printed circuit board and press-fitting a cover.
While the printed circuit board is moved with the RCP3-SA5R on the bottom, the coating and press-fitting are performed with the RCA2-TW4N on the top.
Automating a manual process has doubled the production efficiency.
Also, the changeover became easy whenever the workpiece changed, which reduced the amount of man hours necessary.

Actuators: IA Kit
Functions of the ROBO Cylinders being used The IA kit has been adopted for equipment that inspects gas leakage after a device that uses refrigerant gas is packed into a cardboard box.
A camera detects the hole opened for inspection on the cardboard box and the gas detector moves to that position. Then using the z-axis, the gas detector is inserted into the hole to measure gas concentration.
By automating a manual process with this equipment, the cost of labor was reduced.
