2 RACO AUTOMATISIERT BEWEGUNG HANDHABUNGSTECHNIK RACO INTEGRATES INNOVATIVE AUTOMATION CONCEPTS Modern automation systems are making progress all the time. The time factor with regard to availability and costs represent the benchmark for productivity. Modern automation technology provides the means to increase efficiency and profitability in 24-hour permanent operation. The actuator is of central importance and has to keep up with or even better push technological development. The innovative and extremely variable technology of our actuators is providing new impulses in production, handling, material flow and transport. The electromechanical actuators and positioning actuators from RACO stand out thanks to their: Compact design with high power density Sturdy structure suitable for extremely dynamic industrial applications with frequent switching Maintenance freedom thanks to special permanent lubrication High degree of variability thanks to numerous options being available immediately High productivity through high speeds or movement cycles High availability High process safety High reliability and positioning accuracy Maintenance-free thanks to permanent lubrication Peripheral aspects are becoming more and more important in addition to technical performance data! With various communication interfaces to the adaptation of process control techniques, RACO offers a suitable system solution from a single source.

3 RACO COMBINES PROCESSES AND THEIR MONITORING FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE Decisive criterion for the use of an automated assembly and production system is profitability, which depends to a major extent on the output quantity of conform parts. Great efficiency is achieved by integration the testing process in the manufacturing workflow. Manufacturing steps such as insertion, removal or jointing of parts with defined force-path curves can be realised easily using a RACO sensor cylinder. Both tasks, i.e. jointing and simultaneous monitoring of the assembly process are thus combined in one functional unit under the aspect of cost-effectiveness. The integrated force sensor makes both finely measured, defined force development and limitation of force on the sensor cylinder possible! As a primary actuator, a servo motor or the RACO positioning motor meets the following criteria: Force and position control in one functional unit Homogeneous transmission of force with precise feed Long service lives even with high levels of acceleration, deceleration and vibration Easy system implementation High degree of variability with regard to conversion to different product types No additional test processes are necessary thanks to online proof of quality Low operating costs Numerous equipment variants, high-quality measuring technology and accessories guarantee flexible adaptation to the desired process parameters and the precision required.

4 RACO Schwelm RACO OFFERS ONE-STOP-SHOPPING FOR SYSTEM SOLUTIONS RACO electric cylinders (Elektrozylinder ) are used in numerous monitoring and testing systems to check the behaviour and specific characteristics of materials. For this purpose, the components are subject to different loads and load cycles are simulated within optimised times. This enables component quality faults and weaknesses to be determined at an early stage in product development and testing. On the basis of the reference values determined, process safety on the production line can be improved in the long term. Depending on the particular task, the electric cylinder has to carry out linear movements which are speed, position or force-controlled. In addition to speed-controlled feed, the RACO positioning motor or a synchronised servo motor is used to realise a position-controlled or force-controlled linear movement. Direct measurement of the force takes place in the push-pull unit of the electric cylinder. Depending on the particular version, the load measuring cell is mounted on the fork head or in the bearing casing. The sensors are adapted to the respective force measuring range, taking the following parameters into account: Direct measurement of the acting force High dynamic load range High sensitivities Tensile and compressive force measurable Overload protection of the force measuring equipment Test facility with EZ type T1M7, thrust force ap to 4 tons [1] Handling system [2] Test application [1] [2]
