New Motion Box Cartesian Robot Simplifies Automation Tasks
Because they’re easier to set-up and less expensive than six-axis robots or SCARAs (selective compliance articulated robots arms), Cartesian robots are quickly becoming a more common option for automation tasks.
Rollon Actuators For Food Packaging Systems
Pactiv, one of the world’s largest producers of food Packaging and Packaging and Logistics, recently found a good way to improve the productivity of its multi-line inspection system for detecting and rejecting misformed egg cartons. Instead of relying on troublesome pneumatic diverters, they attached diverting rods to actuators, forming sufficient lanes for the traveling and separating of finished products.
Rollon Actuators For Injection Molding
Off-the-shelf robots for injection molding parts removal tend to be more expensive and less flexible than those made in-house. For this reason, Stone Plastics & Manufacturing Inc. makes its own customizable robots for manufacturing plastic parts, allowing them to serve more industries and control costs.
Pick-And-Place System Delivers Improved Productivity And Safety
Deciding between a gantry and a robot for your application isn’t always as clear-cut as it may seem. To automate a simple, yet time-consuming and potentially dangerous task in its factory, a company that makes particleboards weighed the benefits of using a gantry system against a robot system.
Streamlined Cartesian Robot Simplifies Automation Tasks
Pre-engineered system enables out-of-the-box functionality.
How To Choose The Right Telescopic Bearing
Our telescopic bearings deliver high load capacity and rigidity for applications in harsh industrial environments. If your application requires one, there are some things you’ll want to consider like material and stroke options, load placement and life calculation. Here are some pointers to help you pick the right bearing for your application.
More Than Just A Sturdy Linear Actuator
Rollon’s SMART Series Delivers Additional Benefits For Machine Builders
How to Accomplish Predictable, Reliable Linear Motion
On the surface, it may seem like choosing the right actuator for a given application is an easy task. In reality, however, much more goes into selecting a reliable actuator than you might think.
Large actuators for long strokes and high loads
A reliable, low-cost alternative to shop-built automation devices, our new 220 mm R-Smart linear actuator is ideal for large industrial gantries requiring long strokes and high load capacities.
Telescopic rail for railway and vehicle applications
Combining aspects of our proven Telescopic Rail and Light Rail technologies, our new LTH line of economical telescopic rails combines a high load capacity, resistance to bending and a light weight construction.
Local Manufacturing Improves Customer Experience
When you need machine components, you usually need them in a hurry to preventdowntime and other production issues. At Rollon, we produce about 75% of our linear guides and motion systems locally. The short turnaround times that result allow you to design not just with functionality in mind but also rapid delivery times.
What You Missed At IMTS
At this year's IMTS, Rollon's Bob Ward gave a presentation entitle: How to Specify & Size Electromechanical Linear Actuators.
