Coordinated Pneumatic Pick and Place

With an Enfield S2 positioning system controlling the motion of both the horizontal rodless and vertical cylinders of the pneumatic pick and place, the PLC is capable of coordinating the motion of the cylinders. This takes two regular pneumatic cylinders and gives them electric drive capabilities with the cost and simplicity of pneumatics.

This video demonstration shows how the S2 positioning system can be used for applications such a product pick and place and edge guide positioning. With proportional pneumatic positioning, the same machine can run variable sized products, lower overall equipment cost and cut down on floor space required.
