The new SMAC LPL Series are low profile, electric linear actuators that have high force and are fully programmable in speed, position and force with real-time feedback capability, ‘softland’ and can track surfaces. Designed for Robotic End Effectors, they provide the ability to manufacture faster and with more precision and quality than traditional pneumatic air compressor technology.
They are unique in that they can be used for wide range of robot applications in assembly, manufacturing, finishing and inspection. Including:
-
testing buttons, switches and levers
-
deburring and finishing parts
-
lifting fragile products
-
clamping materials for welding or soldering
“With the use of robots becoming more prevalent, there is a demand for actuators with a short height/low centre of gravity that can act as end effectors and perform a variety of tasks. We designed the LPL Series to fill that void, a low-profile actuator without compromising performance.”
“Precision control and feedback is extremely critical in many robotic applications. Electric service actuators provide control and feedback unmatched by any pneumatic actuator.”
The LPL Series actuators offer programmable control of speeds, positioning down to microns, and forces from as low as 0.1 Newtons (N) up to 250 N. In addition, as LPL Series actuators complete their tasks they provide real-time feedback for tracking, performance and quality control.
LPL Series actuators also are cost-competitive, have high cycle rates, are energy-efficient, and have a lifespan of more than 100 million life cycles. The LPL’s benefits are similar to SMAC’s LDL and LBR Series actuators, which are also used for robot end effectors.
