Pause input The pause function allows for easy deceleration/ stopping and restart. Combination Frequent work pickup errors Accuracy of stopping position is poor in pick & place operation, and pickup errors occur frequently. Accurate positioning Positioning deviation is eliminated because the positioning repeatability is as high as ± 0.02 mm. This reduces pickup errors. Height fluctuation in press-fit operation Press-fit heights fluctuate. Push-motion operation and zone output Height fluctuation can be eliminated because press-fit operation is performed as pushmotion operation using a zone output. Others No air supply source If no air supply source is available for the air cylinder, a compressor must be installed. Power supply is all you need ROBO Cylinders can be operated with a power supply only. Need for air pressure adjustment Since air pressure fluctuates, constant pressure adjustment is necessary. No need for adjustment Since ROBO Cylinders are driven by a motor, no adjustment is necessary. This reduces man-hours. High power consumption Want to cut down on power consumption to reduce the load on the environment. Energy-saving ROBO Cylinders consume approx. onetenth the power consumed by air cylinders (based on IAI’s internal test). As explained above, many of the problems associated with air cylinders can be solved through the functions of ROBO Cylinders. With ROBO Cylinders, you can achieve the following benefits: Lower percent defective Less design/assembly man-hours More environmentally friendly (energy-saving) Easy setup change Less maintenance man-hours Lower cost associated with air leak Shorter tact time No need for startup adjustment ISO 14000 compliance
