Examples of Cost Savings with
ROBO Cylinder Electric Actuator Applications
7% Increase in Production Efficiency
Application - A system that cuts rubber sheets of 1mm in thickness (using a round blade) to produce rubber caps for drug containers. A ROBO Cylinder is used for moving the cutter up and down.
Air Cylinder | ROBO Cylinder |

Because of the difficulty setting speed, around 30 minutes had to be spent on adjustment every day.
Low Speed: The rubber sheet elongates and cannot be cut. High Speed: Rubber breaks. If broken rubber caps are found in the receiving inspection, the whole lot will be determined "out of specification" (all caps must be scrapped). Adjustment Time: 30 minutes/day = 0.5 hours/day Monthly Production Time |
Speed setting becomes easy, and adjustment time is no longer required. Adjustment Time: 0 minutes Monthly Production Time |
Explanation - (160 hours - 150 hours) / 150 hours = 0.07 Approximately 7% increase in production efficiency.
