With the emergence of high-speed production systems in many industries, automation engineers are now more focused than ever on finding cost-effective, energy-efficient positioning, control and accuracy technologies. Electromechanical positioning can meet these requirements. However, certain aspects of electromechanical technology can lead to higher costs and production issues in the long run.
The function of cylinder positioner
The servo mechanism of the cylinder positioner can control the cylinder accurately and stably. It can be used as a cylinder position control device for general industrial machinery. Most cylinder positioners provide precise and stable position control for small diameter cylinders. It can be used as a cylinder position control unit for process control, servo mechanisms and general industrial machines.
Cylinder positioners provide fast, responsive and accurate positioning of diaphragm or cylinder actuators. It is available with pneumatic modules for air control signals or electrical (I/P) modules for current control signals. Designed for high performance, cylinder positioners are compact, field-reversible, rugged, and reliable in harsh industrial environments. Cylinder positioners can be mounted on linear or rotary actuators or actuators from other manufacturers. Two, three and four split ranges are available.
The current signal of the electromechanical device is first converted into an air signal. For pneumatic models, the signal is passed directly to the cylinder positioner. The sensor receives an electrical input signal and converts it into an output proportional to the input. The supply pressure is filtered and regulated in the sensor via a filter element and an internal regulator.
Working principle of cylinder positioner positioning system
Cylinder positioner positioning system When programming and executing high-speed automation, the accuracy of motion sequences, especially endpoint accuracy, is critical to manufacturing speed, throughput and quality. Every move in an action sequence must be precise;not only in its positioning, but also in its timing.
The positioning system of the cylinder positioner is a more common way to accomplish this task in automated systems. In electromechanical systems, linear devices such as profile guides, ball screws, and linear modules driven by electric motors lift, move, and place components. These systems provide excellent positioning accuracy. However, some inherent disadvantages may increase overall manufacturing costs and impact productivity over time.
CylinderPositioners tend to be more energy efficient. For example, a locator consumes power just to maintain position. In the event of a power outage, the positioning system of the locator will reset itself and any previous work will be lost, resulting in a power outage. Productivity suffers as a result. Note that each actuator has different physical characteristics. Therefore, it's difficult to make broad claims about location accuracy. However, with correct actuator selection and optimized controller tuning, positioning accuracy of ±1 mm is certainly possible.
