Problem #1 - Automated Baking Application
A major
U.S. food processing company
in the consumer products
market approached with a problem. Packaging of portion controlled
crackers designed
for the restaurant and food
service markets was suffering
from continued downtime. The
combination of loading, and
the required production
speeds and cycles, caused
the gradual misalignment of
the separate rodless cylinder
and linear bearing units
employed in the application. In
turn, this led to complete
system failure and a costly realignment
procedure.
Our Solution
 The single unit Powerslide
from Hoerbiger-Origa replaced
the separate cylinder and
guide previously supplied by
Tol-O-Matic. Installed as an
integral actuation-guidance
system, the Powerslide is prealigned
and never goes out of
alignment, even under the
repetitive, high duty-cycle
conditions. Powerslide delivers very high
reliability levels: there has
been no downtime in the linear
motion system at the company in
the 12 month operating period
following the fitment of
Hoerbiger-Origa equipment.
As a one-piece unit,
Powerslide cuts down
engineering and installation
time and costs, and has been
easily retrofitted to the existing
machines.
Problem #2 - Lab Filler Applciation
A manufacturer of an automated laboratory system needed to
raise a vial to a fill position where powder was to be discharged. A
vacuum operation subsequently took place, which was repeated
several times.
Our Solution
 An Origa P210/20 Rodless cylinder was used with a platform
attached to the yoke; the cylinder itself is forming a major
structural member of the unit. The results were reduced engineering content, increased safety and a cost effective solution.
