Lifting / Positioning: Long-Stroke Electric Actuators Solved Rod Buckling Issues for a Converting Machine OEM, on Slitter Line

Challenge

A converting machine OEM had rod buckling issues with screw-type electro-mechanical actuators used on their slitter positioners. They required long-stroke precision electric actuators and had ruled out using hydraulic cylinder actuators due to leaks and the risk of product spoilage from fluid contamination.

Kyntronics Solution

  • Long stroke electric linear actuators configured to operate with Rockwell Automation motors.
  • Improved process control – using position and force control.
  • Actuators used Rockwell Automation drives and Kyntronics AOI.

Customer Benefits

  • Eliminated rod buckling issue, increasing machine reliability.
  • 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
