Converting - Slitting Positioner

Challenge

A converting OEM machine builder had rod buckling issues with screw type positioning actuators. They required long-stroke positioning actuators but could not use hydraulics due to leaks and risk of product spoilage from fluid contamination.

Kyntronics Solution

  • All-electric, all-in-one long-stroke positioning actuators
  • Improved process control – using Position and Force control
  • Rockwell Automation solution with increased load capabilities

Customer Benefit

  • Eliminated rod buckling issue
  • Easy integration with Rockwell motor and drives
  • Longer life expectancy than a screw type actuator

Application Requirements

  • Stroke: 24"
  • Speed: 5.5 in/sec
  • Force: 2,400 lbf each

Industries

  • Paper
  • Metal
  • Plastics / Rubber
  • Corrugated
