Welding Press: Positioning and Clamping Truck Axle Components for Welding using High Force Linear Actuators

Challenge

An automotive tier-one axle manufacturer was implementing a new welding press machine to replace hydraulic cylinder actuators that were leaking, causing environmental concerns and excess maintenance. They required a high-force electric linear actuator that could press a yoke onto a drive shaft and hold it in place while being welded.

Kyntronics Solution

  • High-force electric linear actuators with position and force feedback and servo control of position and force for the weld press operation.
  • Rod protection using bellows covering.
  • Actuator only configuration using customer-supplied Rockwell Automation motors and drives.

Customer Benefits

  • Elimination of the hydraulics on the new machine resulted in an environment that is cleaner, less noisy, more energy efficient, and requiring far less maintenance.
  • High-force actuators that can tolerate shock loading without damage reduce maintenance and downtime risk.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 31” (6” working)
Speed: .73 in/sec
Force: 84,600 lbf.
