The overall frame design of the RCS Slider Type Robo Cylinder follows the more traditional design of ballscrew, slider carriage, guide rails, bearings, and motor. In addition to the standard inline configuration at right), a Folded Motor type (below) is available for applications requiring minimal overall length.
RCS Slider type actuators feature a stainless steel sheet routed through the slider mechanism to protect the actuator from dust and foreign objects. The standard in-line style actuators feature an integrated motor / ballscrew construction which eliminates the use of a coupling. This results in shorter overall length and fewer potential maintenance issues.
The Robo Cylinder is used in applications where user I/O is not needed but multiple positions are required. Using only 16 positions and eliminating any programmability or user I/O brings down the system cost, making the Robo Cylinder very affordable. By utilizing our Robo Cylinder serial communication protocol, a PLC or industrial PC could store the point table and send over the changes via RS485. This method would create virtually an infinite amount of positions stored remotely in the PLC or Industrial PC. For applications requiring user I/O and programmability, some RCS actuators may also be used with the X-SEL, a programmable, multi axis controller from Intelligent Actuator.
RCS actuators are generally used with the RCS-C controller. Certain RCS actuators are compatible with the RCS-E controller, the E-CON single axis controller, or the X-SEL multi axis controller. All Robo Cylinder controllers can be operated by either a Teaching Pendant or PC Interface Software.
