Application Overview

Purpose

  • (Objective) One cylinder clamps in four directions.
  • (Operation) Pallets transferred on a roller conveyor are centered at working position.

Points for use

  • Production line where the pallets are detected by photomicrosensor and stopped on the conveyor.
  • Pallet evacuation mechanism is not needed.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: Pallet
    Size: W450×D300×H20mm
    Weight:5kg

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Cylinder stroke: 75mm
  • Clamp stroke: 5mm

Required Performance

  • Conveyor stopping accuracy; ±45/300mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Set the required linkage operation length (75mm) to be at 60 degrees to the center linkage connecting two sliders.
  • Select a cylinder size according to friction coefficient and weight of the pallet.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Compare the process resistance force to the friction between the pallet and the roller conveyor.
    • Here, the friction coefficient between the pallet and the roller conveyor to be 0.2.
    • Required force for motion: Fp=5×0.2×9.8=9.8N of force can slide.
    • From cylinder force chart,
      Thrust of φ25 cylinder pull thrust when operation pressure 0.5 MPa Fs = 189 N
    • Process force withstandable: F = Fs - Fp, so F = 198 - 9.8 = 179.2 N
      Therefore, the externally applied process force must be set to less than 179 N

Other Design Consideration

  • During evacuation, the workpiece needs to stop on the conveyor within the center of four outside rollers.
  • Determine the positions of 8 rollers according to pallet external dimensions.
  • Determine the stroke based on roller evacuation position.
  • Determine clamping force based on pallet weight and process force.
