ROBO Cylinder Belt-type Gripper video

This display unit handles all movements of work parts from the slide table to index table using ROBO Cylinders®.ROBO Cylinders® are available in many variations. In addition to ball screw types, belt drive types are also available that are used in horizontal operations and can maintain the maximum speed even at long strokes. This motorized gripper can grip small electronic components without damaging them, simply by adjusting the gripping force. The Z-axis adopts a table-type actuator based on a rod + guide mechanism, where installation is easy. Also, the touch panel display lets you visualize the status of each controller.

rn Posted in IAI Application Examples rnnnrn rn rn rn rnnnrnnnThis display unit consists of three sets of six ROBO Cylinder axes combined in a Y-Z configuration, grippers, and one X-axis work part transfer section, all of which are controlled with just one XSEL controller.nnrnnnThe six ROBO Cylinder axes are controlled via the ROBONET controller using the Gateway function of the XSEL controller. By using the Gateway function, a maximum of 22 actuator axes can be controlled using only one XSEL controller.nnrnnnFor example, you can directly control four SCARA robot axes using an XSEL controller and control the gripper of each SCARA robot using the Gateway function.nnrnnnrn

ZR Unit with a Long Stroke Gripper Video

rnMarch 21st, 2011 Posted in Application Examples rnrnrnnnrnnnThis display unit combines the ZR unit and long-stroke gripper to transfer work parts of different sizes.nnrnnnThe ZR unit is a compact unit, combining the vertical axis and the rotational axis into one. Also, the Cartesian robot is used to perform movement in the X-Y direction.nnrnrnnnThe range of operation can be set larger than that of a comparable SCARA robot by increasing the X-Y stroke.nnrnnnThe long-stroke gripper can grip work parts of all sizes, so it can meet your needs for all types of work parts.
