Pneumatics at heart of bearing assembly system
Precision pneumatic controls from SMC Pneumatics are at the heart of innovative new automatic assembly systems, designed for Sarnatech BNL to make bearing assemblies
Designed for point to point applications, when positioning a single axis actuator, further developments have meant that up to an additional six extra slave units can be used, positioning further axes, all being controlled via a PLC through the LC8 master unit.
Using up to 117 programmable position steps, parameters such as velocity, acceleration, deceleration and torque can be set using the Windows based LC8 setting software included with the driver.
In addition, up to five types of palletising patterns can be configured for two-axis pick-and-place applications.
The LC8 can be specified for use with either 50, 100 or 200W servo motors to suit most application needs and can be used with SMC's LG1, LJ1 or LTF electric actuator ranges.
