2. High-Speed Automated Diverting in FMCG Packaging
Deploying the double-acting cylinder as a high-speed pusher on a conveyor line to reject or divert small to medium-sized fast-moving consumer goods based on sensor input.
Problem SolvedSolves the need for rapid, repetitive lateral displacement of items without causing product damage, leveraging the elastic cushioning to manage the 0.4 J impact energy during high-speed 483 N advance strokes.

3. PCB Clamping Fixture for Automated Solder Paste Inspection
Integrating the cylinder into an automated optical inspection (AOI) machine to securely clamp printed circuit boards. The female thread allows custom non-marring tooling to be attached directly to the piston rod.
Problem SolvedEnsures repeatable and secure holding of lightweight electronic assemblies during inspection by providing a controlled clamping force up to 483 N at 6 bar and positive position verification via proximity sensors.
