Hello all- I have a project coming up where we need to raise a small part (size of a 3/4 x 2" bolt) approx 4" so a gripper can grab it and move to the next location. The parts will vary in size so they may have to raise anywhere from 2-4". The going plan was to use a small servo and a linear slide w/lead screw to run the part up into position. I'm struggling to figure out why we don't use a pneumatic cylinder with some type of position feedback or LVDT instead. It seems like it's servo/linear slide/servo motor vs. air cylinder/feedback device?? speed isn't any issue ans accuracy could be +/- 1/8". Any thoughts?
