Leetx Unveils EcoMove: Transforming Automation with Smart Electric Cylinder

In the ever-evolving world of industrial automation, Leetx has made a significant leap forward with the introduction of its newest product, the EcoMove Smart Electric Cylinder. This innovative device is designed to simplify the integration process for automated press-fit stations, addressing common challenges faced by system integrators and manufacturers.

The Automation Challenge

Integrating various components such as motors, sensors, and controllers from multiple suppliers can be a daunting task for manufacturers building automated systems. Traditionally, the development of these stations involves a labor-intensive process where custom code is often required for PLC force control, taking anywhere from 40 to 100 hours for assembly, integration, and debugging. This lengthy and complex procedure leads to non-standard assemblies, limited data traceability, and increased project risks.

EcoMove tackles these challenges head-on by providing a fully integrated solution, combining mechanical elements, servo motors, controllers, sensors, and visualization software into a single unit that can be configured in approximately two hours. This remarkable efficiency not only minimizes the dependency on multiple vendors but also vastly improves data management and quality control in automation projects.

Key Features of EcoMove

The EcoMove cylinder excels in a variety of applications, particularly in the automotive sector, battery production for electric vehicles, and general industrial automation. It provides a force range of 10 to 60 kN and options for stroke lengths of 150 mm and 350 mm. Some of its standout features include:

• - Real-Time Force Monitoring: Ensures precise control with pass/fail assessment for each cycle.
• - Adaptive Speed Control: Maintains force overshoot to below 2%, enhancing process safety and accuracy.
• - Rapid Program Storage: Capable of storing up to 32 process programs for quick changeovers.
• - Compatibility: Supports multiple standard industrial bus protocols and I/O systems.
• - Energy Efficiency: Consumes 20 times less power than traditional hydraulic alternatives and operates at a noise level of 75 dB.

All critical components of the EcoMove, including the mechanical structure, control system, and software, are developed in-house at Leetx's R&D centers located in Shanghai and Wuxi. This vertical integration ensures high precision manufacturing while maintaining strict quality control over critical components produced within the company’s high-precision machining facilities.

What This Means for Manufacturers

Samuel Chen, the International Business Director of Leetx, emphasizes the systemic advantages of utilizing EcoMove. 'System integrators often spend weeks assembling press-fit stations from disparate components without standardized quality control or data output. EcoMove offers a fully integrated system with built-in monitoring and process traceability, allowing engineers to focus more on achieving application outcomes rather than the intricate process of component integration.'

Furthermore, EcoMove meets CE certification standards and is already positioned for purchase. For European clients, technical support is conveniently available through Leetx's subsidiary in Germany.
