Increase in production efficiency by 25%

Small sized motor component transferring device is installed.

Industry
  • General manufacturing industry
Theme
  • Increase in productivity

Usage

A device to pick & place the components on the small sized motor component assembling line.

The function of the ROBO Cylinder in use.

  • Multi positioning
  • Speed・Acceleration/Deceleration configuration feature

Explanation

In the case of air cylinders

Air cylinders had a problem to raise its speed, as it may drop or misplace the attached component, caused by the shocks resulting from stoppings.

Production volume
Cycle time 4 seconds = 900 units/H(3,600 seconds) = 18,000 units/day(20H) = 360,000 units/month(20 days)
In the case of ROBO Cylinders

ROBO Cylinder has a smooth speed・acceleration・deceleration adjustment, enabled to be easily configured to the suitable value, reducing the cycle time.

Production volume
Cycle time 3.2 seconds = 1,125 units/H(3,600 seconds) = 22,500 units/day(20H) = 450,000 units/month(20 days)

Having (450,000 units - 360,000 units) ÷ 360,000 units = 0.25, the production efficiency has increased by 25%.
As an additional effect, there were frequent cylinder replacings and equipment stoppings for maintenance when the air cylinders were in use, but having the ROBO Cylinders in use, such happens very rarely, and this leads to a further increase in production efficiency.
