FAQ'S
1. What role do pneumatic cylinders play in automotive manufacturing?
Answer:
Pneumatic cylinders provide the linear motion required for key processes such as welding, clamping, lifting, pressing, and positioning components. They help automate repetitive tasks and maintain production speed, accuracy, and consistency across assembly lines.
2. Why are pneumatic cylinders preferred over electric or hydraulic actuators in car plants?
Answer:
Pneumatic cylinders are lightweight, cost-effective, and require less maintenance than hydraulic systems. They also provide fast actuation speeds, making them ideal for high-cycle applications like stamping or robotic handling in automotive assembly.
3. What types of pneumatic cylinders are commonly used in car production lines?
Answer:
Common types include ISO 15552 profile cylinders, compact cylinders, rodless cylinders for long stroke applications, guided cylinders for precision alignment, and ISO 6432 round cylinders for smaller, lightweight tasks.
