The SMELA liteECO® series is the most compact electromechanical alternative to pneumatic short-stroke cylinders thanks to its patented arrangement of motor and mechanics. This makes them ideal for the many linear movements required in production lines, machine tools or packaging systems. A servo motor including positioning sensors enables the movement of simple to complex profiles: for fixing, adjusting, locking and travelling any type of movement. The highly efficient motor saves up to 90 % energy compared to pneumatic systems. Together with the smart arrangement of the mechanics in the motor, the actuator saves up to 80 % installation space compared to existing electrical solutions. The liteECO® series also offers the option of simple refurbishment. The replacement of a worn mechanics is extremely simple and helps the actuators to achieve life cycles: sustainable, cost- and resource-saving. In addition to the servomotor and linear mechanism, the LE-INTEGRATED actuators have an integrated drive controller based on 24 volts and optionally on 48 volts. They are controlled via EtherCAT, CANopen or digital IOs. As with the BASE series, many of the advantages of electric drives are supplemented with essential features for high industrial requirements and packed into the smallest possible installation space. In addition to sealing to protection class IP65, conventional M8 and M12 circular connectors have been integrated in the A, B, L and Y coding’s. The maximum stroke is 85 or 115 millimeters, whereby any positioning within the maximum stroke is possible without restriction.

Pneumatic gripping force meets electrical precision – up to 1,550 N gripping force.

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.

Electrical Gripper As one of the leading companies for compressed-air-free automation solutions, IAI offers of course a huge variety on different electrical gripper for all kind of applications as well. Advantages of electrical Gripper Like all kind of electrical actuators, also electrical gripper offers an absolutely outstanding efficiency on energy usage. In comparison to typical pneumatic gripper, energy reductions in the range of typical 80% could be realized. Another very positive aspect is very often the much lower noise level of such electrical gripper. However, the biggest advantage offered by electrical gripper due to their absolute free programming in terms of positioning and gripping force. This makes sure, that all kind of products whatever their structure, material or how fragile they might be, could be securely and safety handled without any additional efforts. Electrical Gripper for small and large Products IAI offers one of the largest portfolio on electrical gripper in the automation market. This portfolio starts at the micro-gripper with its 4 mm grab width and ends at the long-stroke-gripper which allows up to 1,200 mm grab width for huge products. Corresponding to these sizes, also the gripping forces varies fin between 10 N up to 400 N. The IAI portfolio is completed by new two-point electromagnetic lifting gripper which are available in two different versions. The smaller version of the gripper can achieve maximum grip forces of 10 N and in the larger version, 20 N. Both variants have a stroke of 4 mm with inherent weights of 160 g and 270 g. These small electric grippers require only one cable for the power supply and the sensor signals, which makes installation in complex systems extremely simple and allows for very safe operation. The electric grippers open or close in just 0.03 seconds. These highly compact grippers can be used wherever small delicate parts require safe, energy-saving gripping and moving.

SMELA's patented liteECO® linear actuators address applications for fixing, adjusting and moving motion profiles. They can be used for simple to complex mobility applications in e.g. production lines, machine tools, logistics or household appliances. They represent a holistically optimized, mechatronic system consisting of an electrical machine, the mechanical system and integrated sensors. The telescopic arrangement allows the plunger to be integrated without sacrificing motor performance and force. This results in a very favorable ratio of travel distance to overall length and provides the most compact electric alternative to pneumatics. In terms of installation length, the actuators undercut even pneumatics in addition to all electric alternatives, thus offering the advantages of pneumatics with an electric drive for the first time. The convenient advantages of electric actuators are retained without any compromises: - Compact installation length with configurable stroke lengths - High force density & speeds - More than 75 % energy savings compared to pneumatics - Up to 80 % space saving compared to electric solutions - Media-free operation - Fast, simple commissioning - Low maintenance - Integrated, high-resolution encoder system - Positionable and controllable with various motion controllers - Increase in cycle & production rates - Protection class: IP65 - Robust circular connector with quick-lock system - Smooth, sealed plunger The INTEGRATED series also has the advantage that the integrated controller eliminates the need for additional cabling and the installation of external controllers in the control cabinet. It is a standalone solution; however, it can still be connected to digital or analogue IOs to enable island operation, for example.

Based on your ideas, we plan and wire powerful systems, manufacture reliable switchgear and install your customised control cabinets.

Programmed Pressure The economical realization of automated mechanical assembly and joining work is becoming increasingly important in many different industries. Electrically driven servo presses are predestined for such tasks in terms of their control options and precision. To meet all these needs, IAI offers a new generation on servo-presses which are available with thrust forces in between 20 N and 50 kN as well as stroke lengths in between 100 mm up to 520 mm. Precise press processes The force control required for the precise press process is included in all models by a load cell on the thrust rod tip. This load cell makes highly-precise positioning control possible, which means easy pressing force adjustment and position control. The repeat accuracy is +/- 0.01 mm to allow full and precise control of the full movement and positioning. The application software offers two selectable control modes: speed control or force control. Moreover, the stopping method can be chosen from four stop conditions – "position", "stroke", "load" or "incremental load". High-resolution battery-less absolute encoders The new IAI servo presses includes of course high-resolution battery-less absolute encoders. So, the new product series embodies all the advantages of this technology as well: no need for homing operations or home sensors, no battery maintenance and problem-free restart after emergency stops.
