Electric cylinders that suppress dust scattering improve productivity in clean environments
Power Cylinder T Series
overview
In manufacturing equipment for flat panel displays (FPDs), the adhesion of fine dust and dirt to the glass surface can lead to product defects, so there was a demand for cylinders with low dust generation specifications.
Additionally, there were challenges such as speeding up the operation cycle, improving durability, and ensuring high stopping accuracy in order to improve productivity.
Therefore, by combining low dust-emitting bellows with air tubes and taking special measures to prevent dust from scattering, it is possible to use it in a clean environment.
Furthermore, we have achieved both productivity and conveying accuracy through improved operation cycles achieved by specially addressing product characteristics and high-precision stopping control achieved by using servo motors.
Problem
In manufacturing equipment for flat panel displays (FPDs), even the slightest dust or dirt adhering to the glass surface can lead to product defects. Therefore, there was a demand for low-dust-generating cylinders that could be used safely even in clean environments.
Furthermore, to improve productivity, it was necessary to speed up the operation cycle and improve durability, while at the same time ensuring high stopping accuracy was also an issue.
Adopted products
Power Cylinder T Series
This is an electric cylinder in the medium thrust zone with a rated thrust of 2.45kN or more that can be used with AC (alternating current) power.
With a wide range of options, including a brake motor that powerfully holds loads, a gear reduction unit that achieves low noise, a highly efficient Ball screw developed for cylinders, and a safety mechanism to protect the mating device, it can be used for a variety of purposes.

Benefits of adopting the product
Normally, there is a concern that dust and dirt will leak through the air holes in the bellows and adhere to the glass surface, but by using low-dust-emitting bellows and installing an air tube where the bellows are attached, dust scattering to the outside is prevented.We have achieved reduced dust generation so that the product can be used in clean environments.
Furthermore, by specially adapting the product characteristics (thrust, speed, frequency) to the equipment specifications, the operating cycle has been improved, contributing to improved productivity. In addition, by changing the catalogue induction motor to a servo motor, high-precision stopping control has been achieved, ensuring stopping accuracy during glass transport.
