The Pneumo-hydraulic, energy-saving cylinders of the TOX®-Powerpackage family of type “S” (Standard) and “K” (Compact) are enlarged by the new preference series „line-Q“With the Pneumo-hydraulic drive system TOX®-Powerpackage, the technology company TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK GmbH & Co. KG is an industrial standard and market leader of driving cylinders for 30 years. Since then more than 150 000 units have been produced and are used in many different industries. Imitators have appeared but still today the performance of these imitations cannot be compared to those of the original with regard to compactness, robustness, durability and flexibility in use and application. In addition, TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK has always had an ear for the market and the demands of customers and therefore it has created various innovative variants based on the modular construction kit of the Powerpackage. New: the TOX®-Powerpackage line-Q The latest version is the TOX®-Powerpackage line-Q, an extension of the product range. In future, the customer has the choice among the new line-Q or another Powerpackage of the appropriate version. In principle, the line-Q provides the same benfits as the well-known TOX®-Powerpackage: power supply and handling like a pneumatic cylinder, but power and press force like a hydraulic cylinder; pure pneumatic operation but with reduced consumption and consequently utmost energy efficiency. Controlled like a double-acting pneumatic cylinder, with a power stroke as soon as the tool meets an opposing force, and this at any point along the total stroke. A field-experienced mix: well tried and new features The line-Q cylinders rely on TOX®-typical features like the patented bypass system, having a hydraulic end position damping during the return stroke, and a completely closed system with air/oil separation or the mechanic spring. The new TOX®-Powerpackage series line-Q is available in “line-Q type S“ and “line-Q type K“. Type “S” is a cost-optimized standard cylinder with a total stroke of to 100 mm and a power stroke of 12 mm. These driving cylinders offer press forces from 10 to 300 kN (at 6 bar air pressure). Type “K“ represents the length-optimised compact cylinder with a total stroke of 200 mm and a power stroke ranging from 12 to 52 mm. Here at 6 bar air pressure, press force range from 10 to 150 kN. Why a new Powerpackage? The reasons for the development of the new driving cylinder TOX®-Powerpackage line-Q are based on technical and commercial requirements offering significant advantages for the customers. New technologies have been introduced, the options are now partly integrated and included as standard price, the construction time and the delivery time have been reduced, and last but not least the whole product is very competitively priced. Special attention has been paid to additional energy saving, the mechanic spring has a double function and in addition to lower power consumption, the control is simplified and the maintenance costs are reduced. Thanks to the defined lowering of the oil storage volume the effect of different operating temperatures is compensated. Together with the working piston supported in guide bushes and the latest sealing technology applied, longer maintenance intervals and increased durability is achieved. The advantages in detail The defined positive stop BDC (bottom dead centre) and the damping in the advance stroke offer solutions to many different requirements. With this, very high repetitive accuracy is achieved, e.g. with clinching. The noise of the advance stroke is reduced without any further additional technical expenditure enabling punching applications to be realised. With all Powerpackage types line-Q, the power bypass and the hydraulic damping in the return stroke (upper dead centre) are standard. With this, high stroke frequencies are achieved, trouble-free even in borderline applications, the tools are carefully employed and the noise level is low. The further standard equipment includes the internal preparation for the stroke inquiry so that only external sensors with holders are needed. This high degree of standardisation, the integrated functions and the modular construction allow for a rapid delivery and despatch of the TOX®-Powerpackage line-Q, all this with the usual TOX® quality, proven back-up service and spare part supply. The customer receives a complete unit ready for service, with its “fit and forget“ characteristics after installation, will provide trouble free operation in many different applications.
