Moment-stop improvement
![We surveyed 100 Japanese technicians! The fact about moment-stops](img/main.png)
Leading causes of moment-stops
1 Auto switch |
The position where the auto switch turns ON changes due to the following reasons ●Position shift: The auto switch stopper is displaced due to the impact when the air cylinder operates ●Unstable sensitivity: The position to switch to ON changes depending on the usage environment etc. |
---|---|
2 Unstable air supply |
Speed, cycle time, operation timing, thrust, etc., change due to fluctuations in air pressure |
3 Deterioration in |
The sealing performance of the rubber deteriorates due to aging, and the operating characteristics of the air cylinder gradually change |
4 Impact |
Workpieces may fall, overturn, or be damaged due to impact during acceleration or stopping |

What is moment-stop?
This refers to the phenomenon in which equipment stops or idles due to general troubles, which could be restored with simple measures.
Air cylinders may cause moment-stop due to various factors, depending on the condition of the equipment.
You can eliminate that moment-stop with IAI's electric actuator!
![POINT1 Eliminating moment-stops increases equipment operating rates, thereby reducing the number of equipment required.](img/img02.png)
![POINT2 Labor costs can be reduced because the number of workers can be reduced.](img/img03.png)
Let's stop viewing moment-stop as regular events.
