Changing an air cylinder to ROBO Cylinder improved the cycle time for the solution application process.
Issues until now
– Air Cylinders were used to move the syringe to apply solution to the copper wires.
– Uneven amounts of solution were supplied to the felt when low speeds caused instability.
– In an attempt to fix the unevenness, the discharge amount was increased but became excessive. This caused failures that led to Choco Tei* in the process.

* Choco Tei = Stopping for a brief period, Idling in production line.
Improvement Details
The ROBO Cylinder stabilized the movement of the syringe and fixed the unevenness.
