Dry Ice Extrusion Press: Eliminated Hydraulics with High Force, Hybrid Linear Actuators

Challenge

An OEM of dry ice production machines wanted to eliminate the HPU and hydraulic cylinder actuators from their machines to reduce noise, eliminate leaks, and improve energy efficiency. They required a high-force hybrid electric actuator for their extrusion machine that would produce high forces (>22,000 lbf.) and integrate with their PLC for machine control purposes. The high force requirement made electro-mechanical actuators cost-prohibitive.

Kyntronics Solution

  • “Total Solution” including the actuator drive, control, and software.
  • High force linear actuator with position and force feedback using closed-loop servo control.
  • An HMI with software was included for the operator interface.

Customer Benefits

  • Met the customer’s requirement to eliminate the HPU and hydraulic cylinders resulting, in reduced operating costs, lower energy consumption, and lower maintenance.
  • Using force control improved the die-cutting process and extended tool life.
  • More environmentally friendly actuation solution.
  • Easy integration with existing PLC.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 18″
Speed: 2.2 in/sec
Force: 22,000 lbf.
