Assembly Press: Fixing the Shock Load Failure Issue with a Hybrid Linear Actuator Integrate with Rockwell Automation Servo Motors

Challenge

A wine and whiskey barrel manufacturer was using a roller screw electro-mechanical actuator on their barrel assembly press machine that was frequently failing due to shock loads causing extensive unplanned downtime and high maintenance costs. A reliable solution was required but could not be hydraulic due to concerns about leaks causing product spoilage.

Kyntronics Solution

  • High force electric linear actuators with position and force feedback and servo control of position and force.
  • A robust actuator that tolerates shock loads and concentrated loading without failure and integrated with Rockwell Automation motors and drives and Kyntronics AOI.
  • Actuator uses a minimal amount of food-grade oil.

Customer Benefits

  • Eliminated unreliable roller screw actuators reducing maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.
  • Improved quality of parts using position and force control.
  • Environmentally friendly solution.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 12”
Speed: 2.2 in/sec
Force: 37,600 lbf.
