Kyntronics joins the Rockwell Automation Technology Partner Program

Kyntronics is excited to announce that it has joined the Rockwell Automation Technology Partner program. The program promotes the integration of Kyntronics SMART electro-hydraulic actuators with Rockwell Automation servo motors, drives and controls.

Kyntronics and Rockwell Automation collaborated to develop an extensive Add-On-Instruction (AOI) that is simple to integrate into the ControlLogix platform. The AOI features include position & force control, position control with force & speed limiting, compound moves, multiple gain sets, synchronized motion and coordinated motion using Kyntronics actuators. It is a complete solution that shortens application software development time and simplifies integration for the OEM/Machine Builder.

“Going Green” Means More Than Going Electric

Machine designers are faced with several actuation considerations when comparing roller-screw EMAs, HPUs with hydraulic cylinders and all-in-one electro- hydraulic actuators. They are also faced with the challenge of facilitating their company’s ‘Go Green’ goals by transitioning to a fully electric design.

Kyntronics shares the solution in the article recently featured in the Fluid Power Journal “Going Electric? SHA is the Dynamic Choice

Our most popular webinar; “Applying Actuators in Lifting, Material Handling and Positioning Applications” is now available on demand.

The webinar reviewed many technical aspects of applying actuators in these applications including the following topics:

• Advantages of different actuation technology including hydraulics, roller-screw/ball-screw actuators and self-contained servo-hybrid actuators.
• Considerations of side-loading and proper support of machine elements.
• Synchronization of multiple actuators and control options.
• Achieving energy efficiency and providing a clean work environment.

The webinar reviews many technical aspects of selecting the right actuation technology and solving the unique challenges these applications present.
