              KEY BENEFITS

              • Direct Drive
                KOMP-ACT electric actuators use “Direct Drive” technology generating fast and repeatable linear motion, without the need for mechanical transmission elements like ball screws, toothed belts or gearboxes.
              • Energy Saving
                KOMP-ACT linear actuators are up to 95% more energy efficient compared to most pneumatic actuators and at least 50% more energy efficient than any other comparable electric actuator on the market.
              • Longer uptime
                KOMP-ACT linear actuators boast the highest Overall Equipment Effectiveness “OEE” figures to ensure longer, more consistent machine uptime when it counts.
              • Fast setup
                KOMP-ACT’s innovative modular actuator design can be easily integrated onto new or existing machinery and allows for fast replacement with no machine reset or reprogramming required.
              • Sustainability
                When running at full capacity, each KOMP-ACT electric actuator saves more than 1 Ton less of Co2 equivalent per year than a comparable pneumatic actuator.
              • Swiss made
                Like all things Swiss, KOMP-ACT products are engineered for longevity, precision and dependability.

                  KOMP-ACT ‘s electric linear actuators are fully programmable with an easy-to-use and simple end-user interface accessible via the electronic controller.

                  The controller can program and actuate two actuators independently to perform two different and independent tasks (in terms of stroke, transfer time forward and backward). The control algorithm automatically calculates the optimum motion profile to reach the maximum efficiency.

                    KOMP-ACT’s gripper has an iron-core body but, compared to other iron-core motors available on the market, it can reach a higher cycling rate and faster acting time, which makes our product suitable for high-speed machine applications and medium-accuracy industrial use cases.

                    To ensure complex automation processes, KOMP-ACT’s electric direct-drive grippers are also available with a sensor position and a magnetic lock, which grips parts inboard or outboard without additional energy sources.
              • Technology

                  • Technology

                  • Actuators are the unsung heroes of the manufacturing industry to provide essential linear motion in fabrication processes. Thanks to their low cost and simple technology, pneumatic actuators have remained the industry standard since 1920’s. But, like other archaic technologies, pneumatic actuators lack flexibility, must be adjusted often, have a short lifetime, and they consume a great deal of energy.

                    To put this in perspective, every single pneumatic actuator on the planet is responsible for producing more CO2 emissions than a passenger car (between 1.3 and 15 Tons per year)! In the world, there are over 40 million actuators (estimated) running 24 hours a day.

                    In the domain of assembling, packaging and conditioning machines, linear fast movements are required, mainly realized by pneumatic devices with low efficiency and poor flexibility.

                    Today tubular linear motor technologies are the best candidates for pneumatic replacements; however, they are commercialized only by very few suppliers worldwide and are offered at very high price with respect to pneumatics, limiting the widespread transition to a fully electric machinery industry.
                  • Our Solution

                  • KOMP-ACT has developed a patented solution proving better performances in terms of speed-cycling rate & efficiency than pneumatic devices and other electric solutions.

                    The solution comprises an enhanced electromagnetic design technology (more compact), proprietary electronics and software control which allows machines programmability & data monitoring system to prevent inadvertent downtime; KOMP-ACT products are produced with novel manufacturing and assembly technologies developed in collaboration with the Polytechnic of Lausanne (The EPFL).
                  • Unlike any other

                  • KOMP-ACT uses electromagnetic technology which does not require mechanical transmission elements like ball screws, toothed belts, or gearboxes to move the shaft, unlike other traditional electromechanical actuators.

                    Our main innovation consists in the use of tubular linear motion technology with an iron core 3-phase stator which provides higher continuous force density and better heat dissipation with respect to ironless technology, thus enabling higher dynamic performance.

                    In addition, the use of iron core technology reduces the amount of copper needed to produce force, resulting in lower ohmic resistance and high energy efficiency due to low power losses (copper losses).

                    As an integral part of our “Pneumatic Zero” initiative, KOMP-ACT aims to replace expensive electric and poor pneumatic performance with clean, lean and green technology.

                    MORE COMPACT
                    Thanks to their independence from external compressed air tanks or integrated motors, our actuator’s small footprints can fit the most space-restrained applications.

                    MORE PERFORMANT
                    Our actuators reach peak force between 1 and 2,5 milliseconds and have been implemented on machine applications running at 170 cycles/min at full stroke.

                    MORE RELIABLE
                    Our intelligent embedded sensors guarantee that motion profiles stay constant throughout their entire lifespan, resulting in virtually no maintenance required.

                    MORE COST EFFICIENT
                    Our solution can slash up to 95% in direct and indirect energy costs.
                  • Plug & Play

                  • Thanks to their complete built-in design, KOMP-ACT actuators do not require any additional accessories like other similar electric solutions, which enable customers to achieve significant space and assembly time savings.

                    KOMP-ACT electric actuators have two cables: power and command which are connected to the electronic controllers.

                    Two electric actuators can be connected and manage to one single controller. The actuators settings can be done through the web server interface, accessible by connecting a Windows laptop to the controller with a USB cable or directly with field bus (require Controller with Field Bus).
