    This data is utilized in order to list more useful application examples in the future.

    Cautions on the CAD data

    1. Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
      You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
    2. The CAD data unit assembly consists of sub-assemblies.
      Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
    3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

    4. The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
    5. The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.

  • * Unit assembly CAD data consists of some sub-assemblies.
       Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Workpieces discharged from a feeder are sorted to the right or the left by a single axis robot.
  • Components are transported by using an air gripper.

Points for use

  • Automated mechanism with air grippers and single axis robots.

Target workpiece

  • Plastic caps
    External dims.: Ø20 x L36
    Workpiece weight 6.5g

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • External dimensions: W690 x D428 x H427
  • Single axis robot stroke: 140mm (Workpiece receiving section) - Max operating stroke: 150mm
  • Single axis robot stroke: 115mm (Workpiece Sorting section) - Max operating stroke: 150mm
  • Cylinder with twin guides stroke: 10 mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Single axis robot
    • Select a robot with a load capacity that exceeds the combined weight of all the moving mechanisms. This actuator should also satisfy the required allowable moment load rating.
  • Air gripper
    • The allowable static load rating of the gripper should exceed the load weight.
  • Cylinder with guides
    • Select a cylinder with a load rating that is smaller than the allowable eccentric load (from catalog).

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Verify that the motor has the required load capacity to transport the components in both directions. Ensure that the motor has the required allowable moment rating.
  • Single axis robot transported load
    • <Right/left air gripper>: 0.253kg
      Air gripper: 37g, Speed controller: 8g x 2, Gripper fingers: 8g x 2, Upper drive base: 87g, Upper carrier bracket; 90g, Workpiece: 6.5g
    • Workpiece sorting mechanism: 1.144kg
      Workpiece retainer plate: 680g, Lower drive base: 388g, Workpiece guide: 27g x 2pcs., Fiber unit: 5g x 2pcs., Workpiece: 6.5g x 2pcs.
    • Robot load capacity: 4kg > Total mass (0.253 + 1.144 = 1.397kg): OK

Other Design Consideration

  • The brackets mounted on the cylinder functions as a location guide for sorting and transporting components.
