IDEA NOTE Idea for shutter guides

Aluminum extrusion slots are utilized as shutter guides. Also serving the conventional role of extrusion frame.

IDEA NOTE Liner Thickness

If the shutter skews within the slots, adjust the liner thickness.

    CAD Data Limitations

    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. Unit assembly Data consists of some sub-assemblies.
      It is configured so that each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or edited.

      3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

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

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Use aluminum extrusion to support and guide opening and closing of shutter. When sensor detects the product on the belt conveyor shutter will open.
  • Aluminum support frame is placed directly on the frame of belt conveyor.

Points for use

  • Automated operation with the cylinder open/close the shutter.
  • Use of a floating joint allows the shutter to follow the extrusion slots.

Target workpiece

  • Plastic box
    Dims.: W100 x D100 x H100 mm

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Stroke: 150mm
  • External dims.: W336 x D68 x H450 mm

Required Performance

  • Use shims to adjust the clearances to obtain targeted sliding property.

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Aluminum extrusions
    • Selected since the extrusions can be used as guides, as well as the structure.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Verify that the cylinder has the thrust needed to operate the shutter.
  • Cylinder
    • Cylinder thrust - F= η x P x A
      Operating pressure P = 0.4MPa
      Load ratio η=50%
      A=(πd2)/4, , where cylinder tube I.D (d)=16mm
      F= 0.5 × 0.4 × π / 4 × 16² = 40N
      Force needed to operate the shutter is 10N. Cylinder is properly sized. (40N>10N)

Other Design Consideration

  • The use of a floating joint at the cylinder tip allows the shutter to open/close smoothly along the extrusion slots.
  • Provide some clearance to prevent skewing in the slots by mounting panel in the 6mm wide slots.
