rn rn rn rn rn rn rnnnThis display unit is presented to show you how IAI’s splash proof slider type ISWA actually operates in an environment where water is constantly pumped out.nnrnnnDesigned with a cleaning system in mind, the slider moves with water being splashed onto it from four directions.nnrnnnWhen an air purge is used, this actuator can provide an IP65 protective structure to minimize entry of water and foreign objects into the interior. This design is actually used in machining processes where the actuator is subject to splashed coolant, flying metal chips, etc.nnrnnnContact us to learn more about the splash proof linear electric actuator.

rn rn rn rn rn rn rnnnThis display unit uses the electronic cam function of the XSEL controller to guide a mechanical pencil lead through the eye of a sewing needle. As you can see, the slave axis is accurately following the movements of the master axis.nnrnnnAs the 0.5mm pencil lead is guided through the eye of the sewing needle, the actuator moves horizontally.nnrnnnThe point of the operation is to align the operation timings of both actuators. Then the electronic cam function is used, the two actuators can be driven by aligning their operation timings.nnrnnnThis new function lets you shorten the cycle times of your system of align the timings of multiple actuators.nnrn

rn rn rn rn rn rn rnnnThis display unit is a nut-rotation type actuator configured for vertical specification, where two independently operating sliders move work parts from one rack to the other installed at different heights.nnrnnnThe nut-rotation type actuator is characterized by its integration of motor and slider. The ball screw is fixed and the nut is rotated to move the actuator. This operating principle also supports a multi-slider mechanism where multiple sliders are installed and operated independently.nnrnnnThe vertically oriented slider comes with a brake. Incorporation of the brake makes it easy to design vertical configurations, which has been difficult with linear servos.nnrnnnLearn more about the multi-slider electric actuator.nnrn

Micro Cylinder Electric Actuator Video

rnnnrnnnThis display unit consists of a combination unit having two ROBO Cylinder® slider axes, and a micro-cylinder constituted by a slim small ROBO Cylinder®.nnrnnnThe two slider axes are high acceleration / deceleration models in the RCA series, capable of operating at accelerations / decelerations of up to 1G instead of the normal 0.3G level.nnrnnnThe slim, small ROBO Cylinder® is a micro-cylinder having a very compact size of just 16mm in outer dimension. It can be used to perform positioning operation or push-motion operation in narrow spaces.nnrnnnLearn more about the Micro Cylinder Electric Actuator.nnrn
