Coldwater Machine Company, an automation company that manufactures and integrates assembly automation and special machines, has designed its own guided rod cylinders for use in its fabrication equipment solutions for punching, piercing and notching.
"These hydraulic cylinders feature an internally self-lubricated, guided rod within the cylinder body," said a company spokesperson. "This provides both improved reliability and less maintenance. Additionally, since there are no external guides, the new cylinder design is very compact, requiring a third less space than alternatives."
Paul Link, Coldwater's Head of Technology, said, "These standard design cylinders enable us to offer more robust and flexible solutions to our customers. They have proven to be both a reliable and compact alterative in a number of our systems. Applications include piercing, forming, joining and assembly pressing."
The guided pierce cylinders feature a steel body and provide stable, non-rotating performance with the ability to reach hydraulic pressure of up to 3,000 PSI. Coldwater is building two sizes based upon its most common system requirements.
Coldwater uses these cylinders in solutions for appliance manufacturing including dishwasher panel and washer cabinet lines, as well as for automotive frame and body piercing lines.
