| SKF cylinders provide alternatives to traditional technologies  SKF electromechanical cylinders (EMC) offer "plug-and-play" solutions ideally suited for robotic spot-welding gun applications. These all-electric cylinders provide practical alternatives to traditional technologies by performing with the power of hydraulics and the velocity of pneumatics in a cost-effective and highly integrated package. Compact versions (CEMC) further allow for up to 50% space savings. The cylinders deliver precise motion, speed, force, and position to enable a spot-welding system to achieve an optimum number of welds quickly, reliably, cleanly, economically, and with reproducible quality. Applications extend to the automotive, appliance, and metalworking industries, among others.The cylinders integrate easily into robotic gun assemblies; require less space; eliminate complex infrastructure, such as hoses and valves and compressed air or hydraulic oil; simplify monitoring and diagnostics; minimize maintenance; produce considerably less noise; offer more control, longer life, and high duty cycles; and promote "green" operations. They benefit from patented technology based on a planetary roller screw and servo drive. The roller screw works in combination with a nut to drive the stroke and efficiently converts rotary motion into linear movement with a quick response time and lower energy consumption. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
