IDEA NOTE Separation Mechanism

By utilizing two sets of plate cams, the stoppers move up and down alternatively.

IDEA NOTE Rotation stop by single shaft

By forming the cams and followers in a V shape, a single ring stops rotation.

IDEA NOTE Precision adjustment of plate cams

By proving a contact face on the plate cam base, it is possible to conduct positioning without the use of positioning pins.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Purpose
    • Separates workpieces on the feeder.
  • Operation
    • As a single cylinder operates two sets of plate cams simultaneously, two sets of stoppers alternatively move up and down to separate work pieces.

Points for use

  • To maximize efficiency the attachment at the tip of the stopper should be formed according to the work pieces shape.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: round connector
  • Size: φ30 x 15mm
  • Weight: 0.1kg or less

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Stopper pin stroke:15mm
  • Cylinder stroke:50mm
  • Outer dimensions:W74xD170xH175mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • A compression spring with a loose length of 25mm or longer and a compressed length less than 10mm is selected.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Selection of a compression spring
  • Conditional value: free length of compression spring L1 = 30mm, solid length of compression spring L2=5.6mm
    The length (free length) L3 of the spring required in this mechanism is L3>25mm
    And its solid length is L4<10mm
    Therefore,
    The selected compression spring satisfies L1 > L3 and L2 < L4

Other Design Consideration

  • This mechanism can be manufactured with a set of plate cams and a stopper unit.
  • Depending on the mutual design of the two plate cams, it is possible to change the escape timing.
