An automotive Tier 1 supplier needed to replace an aging rubber extrusion bending machine. Working closely with a machine integrator, the customer wanted to eliminate traditional hydraulic power unit, hoses, and cylinders to save energy, reduce maintenance, downtime, and environmental concerns.
Conventional electro-mechanical screw-type actuators could not withstand the shock loading inherent in the bending process or deliver the required control performance for a high duty cycle linear actuator application.
Customer Outcomes: → Hybrid linear actuators provided precise position and force control that improved process repeatability and reduced scrap → Lower total cost of ownership through energy-efficient operation and reduced maintenance → Eliminated hydraulic fluid replacement and disposal while improving operator safety and ergonomics
As automation advances across industrial and mobile applications, growing demands for precision, flexibility, efficiency, and long-term reliability are driving more advanced actuator control capabilities. Modern smart machines are expected to execute complex motion and force profiles, adapt to varying process conditions, and deliver consistent results cycle after cycle.
At the center of this shift are intelligent control features that tightly coordinate the interaction between the actuator, motor, drive, and overall machine control system. Whether deployed as part of a fully integrated system or paired with existing control platforms, advanced actuator controls enable higher levels of performance, programmability, and repeatability, forming the foundation for smarter, future-ready machine design.
