Air Cylinder Comparison

Do you still need help picking between Air Cylinders and Electric IAI Robo Cylinders?

Air Cylinders

You Cannot Position The Stroke
Frequent pickup errors
Poor pick-and-place performance

No Multiple positions
Special stop mechanisms are required

Cannot Be Paused
Difficult to accurately stop and pause

Press-fit has height fluctuations
Difficult to adjust

Air Cannot Communicate
Air lacks control flexibility

 



Fine-tuning Speed Is Awkward

Stick & slip is typical at low speed
Work can be damaged during setup


Accel & Deceleration Inconsistent

Overshooting causes shock & damage

Cannot Change Speed During a Move
Smooth Stops are impossible

Push-force cannot be adjusted properly
Too strong & work can be damaged
Lowering push can increase cycle-time

Work cannot be pushed properly
Too strong & work can be damaged
Lowering push can increase cycle-time

You need these things to use air:
Air power is expensive
A compressor must be installed
Air pressure tends to fluctuate

Electric IAI Robo Cylinders

Extremely Accurate Positioning
Position using servo closed loop accuracy
Repeatability as high as +/- 0.02 mm

Multiple positions can be set with ease
Built–in alignment positioning & easy setup

Pause with built-in signal input
Easy to accurately decelerate, stop, and restart

Press-fit fluctuations are eliminated
Move to complete to location or within zone

Choose From Many Control Options
Talk DeviceNet, CC-Link, or Profibus
Move like a solenoid—3 positions with 3 inputs
Up to 512 positions possible using I/O inputs
Position & control velocity using pulse trains

(Fine Tuning) Easy to adjust in 1 mm/sec Increments
Consistent speed without fluctuation
This minimizes damage and tact time

Accel & Decel both can be set in fine steps
Suppressing shock and minimize work damage

Change Speed Easily During a Move
Closed Loop Servo-like control standard feature

Push Force easily adj. using position data
Adjustable preset push-force remains constant


Push can be easily adjusted

Speed is reduced before actuator contacts work


Totally Electric (no air) Precise Servo

ROBOS Consume 1/10 the power of air
AC or DC electric power is all you need
No adjustment is required—save man-hours
