● Vehicle Component Caulking Device
Ultra High Thrust type ROBO Cylinder is adopted for the caulking process in vehicle component assembling process.
The caulking is done through the punch attached to the edge of the cylinder. Conventionally, a pressure increasing type cylinder of air+oil hydraulic pressure was used, but there was a need to reset the jig in set-ups, every time the work changes, consuming time and energy as there were 3 types of work.
The set-ups are made easier, and the following installation effects were observed as the ROBO Cylinder was adopted in. Currently under consideration to switch the 170 equipments in the factory.
Installation effect [Calculation result by the customer]
| Takt time reduction | 2.84 seconds→1.79 seconds |
|---|---|
| Yearly electrical consumption | 4,073JPY→1,365JPY |
| Reduce of the yearly CO2 emission | 88.2kg→19.7kg-C |
| Total reduce of the yearly CO2 emission, when all air devices are replaced | 15t-C→3.35t-C |
● Glass circuit board transferring device
Rod type ROBO Cylinder is adopted to the device which moves and ejects the glass circuit board during the process.
Conventionally, the process (1)~(4) was done by Air cylinder, but by replacing them with ROBO Cylinders, the electricity consumption has improved.
Installation effect [Measured result by the customer]
| When the Air was in use | After installing ROBO Cylinder |
|---|---|
| Air usage per cycle: 0.0924Nm3 [Condition] ·Average cycle time:70sec ·Operating hours:9h/day, 240 days/year Yearly air consumption:10,263Nm3 |
Electricity required to operate for 1 day :1.32kwh/day Electriciy required to operate for 1 year :330kwh/year [Effect] Compressed air generatable by 330kwh is 3,300(Nm3) (Assuming 10(Nm3) generated for every single electrical unit(kwh)) 1-(3,300Nm3/10,263Nm3) =0.68=68% Approximate reduction of 68% from the total electrical consumption. |
※Compressed air generally generated per single electrical unit is(kwh) 7~1(Nm3)
