This pneumaticmodule for highprecision, high speedmotion intentionally abandonedpneumatic end-of-travel damping. The compactminiature shock absorbers of the type MC25MH-NB decelerate the linearmotion safer and faster when reaching the end-of-travel position. They accept themoving loadgently and decelerate it smoothly throughout theentire stroke length. Additional advantages: simpler construction, smaller pneumatic valves, lowermaintenance costs aswell as reduced compressed air consumption. ACEminiatureshockabsorbers optimizeproductionwith minimumexpenditure. The cycle rate for an assembly lineproducingelectronic com- ponentswas increased to3600units/hr by usingACE shock ab- sorbers.Miniature shock absorbers type SC190M-1 decelerate the rapid transfermovements on theproduction line andusing soft dampingmethods optimize thepick up and set downof components. This soft deceleration techniquehas increased production and reducedmaintenanceon theportal and rotary actuatormodules. Theoptional side load adaptor protects the shock absorber fromhigh side load forces and increases the operating lifetime. UsingACE shock absorbers reducesmainte- nance costsby 50% and running costsby 20%, diminishing energy consumption.
