Moment-stop improvement

 

Moment-stop improvement

We surveyed 100 Japanese technicians! The fact about moment-stops

Leading causes of moment-stops

1

Auto switch
malfunction

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
pressure

Speed, cycle time, operation timing, thrust, etc., change due to fluctuations in air pressure

3

Deterioration in
sealing/packing

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

Analysis of the causes of "moment-stops" caused by air cylinders

(Information based on our survey results)

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. POINT2 Labor costs can be reduced because the number of workers can be reduced.

Let's stop viewing moment-stop as regular events.
