Industry
  • Motor vehicle industry
Theme
  • Reduction of the initial cost

Usage

The device which inserts a inspection rod into a engine block processing hole to judge the processing.
ROBO Cylinder inserts the inspection rod into the processing hole by pressing motion. Zone signals are used along, in order to judge the outcomes into either 「normal」, 「shallow compared to the regulated deepness」 or 「deeper compared to the regulated deepness」」.

The function of the ROBO Cylinder in use.

  • Pressing
  • Zone output

Explanation

In the case of air cylinders
The price of the length measuring function equipped air cylinders 90,000 JPY (The price includes the brake and valves)
Number of units used
9 units of air cylinders are used in each device
Number of devices
There are 7 units of the device in the entire factory

The total cost of the air cylinders are 90,000 JPY x 9 units/device x 7 sets = 5,670,000 JPY

In the case of ROBO Cylinders
The price of the ROBO Cylinder 72,400 JPY (The price includes the controller and cables)
Number of units used
9 units of ROBO Cylinders are used in each device
Number of devices
There are 7 sets in the entire factory

The total cost of the ROBO Cylinders are 72,400 JPY x 9 units/device x 7 sets = 4,561,200 JPY

The initial cost using air cylinders were 5,670,000 JPY, but the initial cost using ROBO Cylinders were 4,561,200 JPY, allowing a cost reduction of 1,108,800 JPY.

Additional effects

Waterproof assured

Though there were no waterproof length measuring function equipped air cylinders, ROBO Cylinder is a waterproof.

Increase in precision

Though there are not much of difference in the encoder resolutions, the precision of the entire device increased from its adjustments which allows precise positionings.

Increase in product quality

There are no more works damaged by the inspection rod knockings, since the ROBO Cylinder can have its thrust adjusted easily.
