Very high speed assembly of a consumer product.

LAL300-030nnrnnnrnnnThis application came from a very large European machine builder. They are developing a group of machines to manufacture a small round consumer product in high volume.nnrnnnnn

    rnnnnn

  • Machine target rate is 5 HZ.
  • nnnnrnnnnn

  • Moving mass 200 grams.
  • nnnnrnnnnn

  • Linear move on the order of 15mm in 35 msecs.
  • nnnnrnnnnn

  • Rotary move on the order of 180 degrees in 40 msec.
  • nnnnrn

nnnnrnnnrnnnThe  LAL300-030  makes  the  linear  move and  a specially  configured  rotary motor  and  gear  meets the 40 msec target.    SMAC is adjusting  the LAL300-030 to take the rotary motor.nnrnnnrnnnLAL300-030 with 750g payloadThis customer came to us for a number of reasons:nnrnnnnn

    rnnnnn

  • SMAC invented the Linear/RotarynnSMAC has very high acceleration actuators.nnSMAC has life test proven cycle life well beyond 100M cycles.

So, they are taking advantage of many of  our  unique  capabilities.  They  also  checked the LCR13 and said that it  will also be  part  of the  machines.  We  showed  them  the  SLA,  very high interest, for other standard machines.nnrnnn nnrnrn
