In PCB manufacturing, The products flow on the conveyor belt, and the appearance inspection is determined by the CCD. If the inspection is OK -> the conveyor belt continues to transport the product to the next station. If inspection is NG-> Rejected product push to the defective area. Bbefore the NG products push to the defective area using a pneumatic cylinder. However, because the speed of the pneumatic cylinder is unstable (4.5 seconds). the conveyor belt needs to slow down to match and complete the operation of the pneumatic cylinder. which reduces the production speed. We assist customers to improve and use TOYO electric cylinder series rod type actuator CGTY series to replace pneumatic cylinders. The electric cylinder does not need to spend time adjusting the speed. the speed of the electric cylinder is stable and fast (1.8 seconds). also, it is very accurate in positioning and smoothly assists the customer to shorten production time.
Pneumatic cylinder capacity: daily production output × Cycle time ÷ 3,600 seconds = 5,800 × 4.5 seconds ÷ 3,600 seconds = 7.25hr/day
using the electric cylinder is improved: daily production output×Cycle time÷3,600 seconds=5,800×1.8 seconds÷3,600 seconds=2.9hr/day
Conclusion: The production time is shortened by 60%, and the efficiency is increased by 2.5 times!
