Pneumatic power transmission is widely used to drive factory automation systems due to the prevalent availability of compressed air in manufacturing facilities. Lower upfront and maintenance costs combine to make pneumatics a popular and cost-effective choice for executing mechanical motion. It's hard to beat the simplicity and reliability of pneumatics.
Koganei is an emerging leader in pneumatic products enabling machine builders to capitalize on productivity improvements and cost efficiencies. As manufacturing continues to advance, the push for efficiency is based on using less power with products that last longer and are smaller in size. Koganei specializes in helping customers miniaturize every device, machine, and automated process. Koganei's pneumatic cylinders are approximately 40% smaller than the competition for the same work capability: same bore and stroke with same or better end of stroke torque.
"Innovative and Blue Ocean" is Koganei's meaning of iB series. Blue ocean refers to the strategy of less competition. Koganei has developed new-to-market innovations that are unique in the industry. These cutting-edge technologies will provide you new capabilities and success in your manufacturing process.
iB-Cyclone: Water Separator
Superior water separation performance (over 99%). Maintenance free because filter element is not used.
iB-Flow Flow Selector: Digital Flow Controller
Remote operation of needle opening to control flow rate is possible. Flow rate feedback can be used for control and switching between multiple flow rates is also possible.
iB-Flow: Digital Flow Controller
Easy setup of cylinder operation time (Input of values from 0.05 to 30 seconds). Cylinder operation time can be measured. Simple cylinder synchronization setups.
iB-Move: Linear Stepping Actuator
Simple point-to-point operation. Simple stroke, acceleration/deceleration, thrust level setting. A linear motor and no deceleration mechanism greatly reduce operating noise. Grease-less for cleaner operation.
iB-Zero: 5-Port Manifold Solenoid Valve
Thin and lightweight, easy assembly, 6 fittings and 3 flow rate models can be combined in one manifold.
