Summary
This case study details a custom solution developed for a manufacturer requiring a high-speed cylinder for a vibratory parts tray application. The document outlines the challenges faced by the customer, who needed a cylinder that could operate at higher speeds while maintaining repeatability and longevity. The existing standard cylinder was inadequate for the high-frequency actuation demands of the manufacturing process. PHD's Custom Solutions engineers collaborated with the customer to create a high-speed, long-life cylinder that incorporated shock pads to minimize wear and enhance durability. The results of this custom solution included faster actuation, improved efficiency in parts handling, consistent performance during high-speed cycles, and an extended service life of the cylinder. The integration of the new cylinder into the existing equipment was straightforward, allowing the manufacturer to meet production demands effectively. This case study illustrates the importance of tailored engineering solutions in optimizing manufacturing processes.
