Electrical Actuator
Future-proof and Energy Saving Automation Technology
Efficient positioning, assembly and handling applications are key components in many manufacturing companies to counter growing cost pressure. Replacing pneumatic positioning systems with electric linear technology can save up to 90 % of energy consumption, which had been proofed in various scientific studies.
IAI has the world’s largest portfolio of electric linear actuators, from mini types, short stroke cylinders, rod and slider types to servo presses, rotary axes and grippers for almost all technical applications. They perform linear, rotary or even gripping movements in pick & place applications, for example.
By far the largest share of the product portfolio have the high-quality product lines RoboCylinder and the single-axis-robots of the IntelligentActuator series. Both product lines consist of highly accurate electrical axes for a wide range of automation requirements.
In the RoboCylinder series, the focus is on miniaturization and handling of small payloads, which is reflected in significantly lower prices. The IntelligentActuator single-axis robots meet significantly higher requirements in terms of payload, speed and stroke length.
Other convincing advantages
Compared with pneumatic drives, electric drives offer a whole range of advantages: they are insensitive to load fluctuations, enable smooth starting and stopping, simple speed regulation and the control of various positions with the highest repeatability.
IAI’s electric axes and grippers are also characterized and programmed by an easy-to-use control system.
The sustainable energy efficiency, the significant cost savings over the entire life cycle of the production plant as well as the outstanding technical advantages in the motion control are the clear arguments for a substitution of pneumatically driven actuators by electromechanical IAI-systems.
