Customer Requirements

  • Replacement of Mechanical Systems: Replace traditional ball screw mechanical jack and lead screw-driven actuators with a servo actuator offering 50-micron accuracy.
  • Rod Segregation and Feeding: The system needed to segregate steel rods from the bundle and feed them one by one into the testing machine.
  • Flexibility in Handling: The system should accommodate a variety of product mix combinations, handling rods with diameters ranging from 10mm to 60mm.
  • Energy Efficiency: The solution should provide energy savings.
  • Turntable Lift: Required lifting capability for the turntable using two actuators.

NV GEN Solution

  • nv-GEn offered a system with multiple electrical actuators to meet the customer’s need
  • Our solution offered more precision
  • To have communication between the drive and PLC, to exchange all data

Success Factor

  • With our solution incorporating multiple electrical rotary and liner actuators, the equipment was efficient, more powerful to load the rods and created a higher amount of capacity
  • We integrated all access with a master PLC

Customer Value

  • Eliminated traditional ball screw mechanical jack mechanism and hydraulic system.
  • System now moves with much more flexible motion, and with less change over- time on the product mix
  • The payback period is lower, due to high energy saving
