APPLICATION DESCRIPTION:<br />
A machine shop wanted to automate the removal of parts from a conveyor passing through a cleaning<br />
solution to an assembly line conveyor. Speed was the primary consideration in this application with cost<br />
being a close second.<br />
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:<br />
• Two-axis linear motion<br />
• Method of grasping parts<br />
• High speed<br />
• Low cost<br />
• Input to controller from sensor to communicate part availability<br />
TOL-O-MATIC SOLUTION:<br />
High speed, low cost <strong>and</strong> long end-of-stroke positioning describes pneumatics. Partnering with <strong>Tol</strong>-O-<strong>Matic</strong><br />
assures the best system solution of both electric <strong>and</strong> pneumatic components. Therefore, the BC220 (2" bore<br />
BC2 Series B<strong>and</strong> Cylinder) pneumatic actuator was used for the primary axis to limit the dynamic moment<br />
load generated at the ends of stroke. Pneumatics was also used to grasp the parts by using a GPP100 parallel<br />
gripper. Since the secondary axis required stops in three different positions <strong>and</strong> a controlled deceleration<br />
when placing parts onto the conveyor, pneumatics was not a good choice for the secondary axis. In order<br />
to achieve the highest possible speed a belt-drive was selected instead of a screw-drive so the actuator critical<br />
screw speed was not an issue. The MRV brushless servo motor <strong>and</strong> SSD brushless servo drive were<br />
selected for their high speed capability of up to 6000 RPM. For basic single axis servo control with I/O<br />
available to receive a part availability signal from the proximity sensor <strong>and</strong> send comm<strong>and</strong>s to activate<br />
valves for the primary axis <strong>and</strong> gripper, the MSC was a low-cost, simple to use choice.<br />
