High-precision automated assembly of miniaturized components

This industrial rotary-stroke actuator with integrated pneumatic control allows sensitive as well as very fast combined rotary and linear motion. It is particularly suitable for automated and low-maintenance pick-and-place assembly systems. The rotary stroke enables the removal of the component to be positioned from the automatic magazine feed, detection in position and, if necessary, correction and positioning with controlled contact pressure.

The internal control with field bus interface is plug-and-play ready and is located directly in the positioning unit. In addition, this allows internal storage of error information for automatic compensation. Also integrated is a concept for remote maintenance and remote diagnostics.

 

Integrated error compensation, remote maintenance and service

Integrated controller in the smallest possible space

The entire embedded control electronics in a scope of two 19-inch racks is housed on a single printed circuit board. The device status can be reported back to the control computer by streaming or polling.The error information is stored internally and is taken into account by the motion controller during control. In the event of servicing, the plug-and-play feature offers fast, uncomplicated replacement.The integration of the controller into the positioning unit also enables certain parameters to be monitored - such as maximum speed during initialization (self-diagnosis) or tracking errors during operation, so that machine downtimes can be avoided by intervening in good time. Other helpful functions include an operating hours counter and a non-volatile error memory. Through the connection via EtherCAT or CAN, updates can be made with improvements in programming or parameterization can be implemented worldwide without any problems.
