Usage

This is a device which splits the printed circuit board, and the ROBO Cylinder is used in the vertical movements of the endmill type router.
The blade can't split circuit boards anymore after cutting 1000 pieces, hence the endmill is moved downward in order to cut using an unused section.

The function of the ROBO Cylinder in use.

  • Multi positioning
  • Pressing

Explanation

In the case of air cylinders

The cutting blade was replaced after cutting 1000 pieces of circuit boards, since the position could not be changed.

The cost of the endmill
1,200 JPY/day=24,000 JPY/month(20 days)=288,000 JPY/year

Yearly cost having air cylinders in use 288,000 JPY

In the case of ROBO Cylinders

4,000 pieces of circuit boards could be cut, since the position of the cutting blade can be changed.

Cutting of 4,000 circuit boards
Manufactured count for 1 day
1,000 pieces
The cost of the endmill
300 JPY/day=6,000 JPY/month(20 days)=72,000 JPY/year

Yearly cost having air cylinders in use 72,000 JPY

Running cost was 288,000 JPY/year when the air cylinder was in use, and the running cost is 72,000 JPY/year when the ROBO Cylinder is in use, reducing 216,000 JPY/year.

Since there were 10 units of this device in the factory, the yearly cost was reduced by 216,000 JPY x 10 unit = 2,160,000 JPY/year.
