IDEA NOTE Synchronization is achieved using a rack & pinion.

Gear is fixed while top and bottom rack move simultaneously to synchronize left and right sensor movement.

IDEA NOTE Reduction of backlash with tensile springs

Backlash is reduced by using tensile springs to constantly push the rack teeth in one direction.

    Thank you for downloading the data.

    Click the Good IDEA! button when this application example is helpful.


    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.

    Back to top

  • * 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

  • The sensor position is set up based on the size of the workpiece. (confirmation of the transferred workpiece width)
  • Confirm the size of the workpiece based on values on the scale plate. (Example: Applicable to workpiece A when the scale is 10mm)
  • Width of workpiece is changed equal from both sides (left and right) using center of the workpiece as the reference.
  • The backlash is reduced using tensile springs.

Points for use

  • A handle is used for adjustment, and rotation is stopped using a shaft collar.
  • A retro-reflective type is used for the sensor.

Target workpiece

  • Plastic BOX
  • Outer shape of large workpiece: W220 x D150 x H120mm
  • Outer shape of small workpiece: W50 x D150 x H120mm

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • External Dimensions: W440 x D350 x H219mm
  • One side preparation stroke: 85mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Shaft collar
    • Selected as "fixed" after an adjustment.
  • Handle
    • A handle which allows easy adjustment is selected.
  • Tensile Springs
    • Selected to reduce backlash.
  • Rack Gear
    • Two sections are selected to achieve synchronization.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • The maximum distortion of a spring is verified based on the load conditions.
  • Spring Load
    • (i) When minimum width is set.
    • Conditional Values: Initial tension 3.43N, Deflection when tensile is expected x = 0mm.
    • Formula: Based on reaction force F = kx + Initial tension, F = 3.43N
      (ii) When maximum width is set.
    • Formula: Reaction force F = kx + Initial tension
    • Initial Tension: 3.43N
    • Deflection when tension is expected: x = 85mm
    • Maximum deflection (mm) x = Configurable S Dimension (= 75mm)/Standard S Dimension (= 50mm) x Standard maximum deflection (= 57mm) = 75/50 x 57 = 85.5 (mm) > 85mm
      Established based on Deflection when tension is expected ≦ Maximum deflection.
    • Spring Constant k(N/mm) = 50 (Reference S Dimension) /Configurable S Dimension (= 75mm) x Standard Spring Constant (= 0.34N/mm) = 50/75 x 0.34 = 0.23(N/mm)
    • Reaction force F = k(= 0.23 N/mm) x x(= 85.5mm) + Initial Tension (= 3.43N) = 0.23 x 85.5 + 3.43 = 23.1N

Other Design Consideration

  • The sliding performance of the rack is improved during synchronization by placing oil-free bushings with high O.D. dimension accuracy in the slotted hole area.
