IDEA NOTE Maintain the angle of the suction cups by locking the air circuit

If you are transferring a workpiece with the same shape for a long period of time, lock the angle of the suction hand.

IDEA NOTE Floating pressure is adjustbale

By combining several regulators and electromagnetic valves as shown in the air circuit diagram, floating pressure is made variable. Thus, in transportation,free floating is eliminated by using the set pressure A, and in suction, free floating is achieved by using the set pressure B.

    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

  • Purpose
    • To utilize suction cups for transporting different shape plastic cases while maintaining orientation of the workpiece.
  • Operation
    • The spherical bearings and air cylinder allow the suction cups to be tilted, so they are flush against the workpiece.
    • By using regulators and electromagnetic valves, the floating pressure can be adjusted during the transfer process.

Points for use

  • The angle of suction cups can be retained by locking the air circuit.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: Plastic case
  • Size: W 100 x D 120 x H 20 (max) mm
  • Weight:0.3kg

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Spherical bearing deviation angle 13°
  • Cylinder stroke: 8.3 + 3 = 11.3 mm
  • Output 11.3 x 70％ = 7.91 N・m (air pressure 0.4 MPa)
  • Spring force at 15 mm stroke 3.66 N
    7.91-3.66=4.25N
  • External size: 96 x 100 x 130 mm

Required Performance

  • Allowable weight: 1.38 kg

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Air Cylinder
    • Output at least 3.76 N at stroke of 15 mm or more.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Verify the air cylinder output
    Force conditional values at maximum tilt of the workpiece
    Workpiece weight: M=0.3kg
    Gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8m/s²
    Workpiece maximum tilt: θ₁=13°
    Distance between rotation center and workpiece center of
    gravity: L₁ = 25mm = 0.025m 
    Distance between rotation center and cylinder mounting: L₂ = 18mm = 0.018m 
    Cylinder output: F = 4.25N
    Suction cup diameter:d=φ20
    Vacuum level: p = 70 -kPa = 0.07 -MPa
    Safety factor at suction: S=4
  • Air cylinder selection
        Moment by the workpiece：M₁  

    M₁=M×g×sinθ₁×L₁=0.3×9.8×sin13°×0.025=0.017N・m
    Force F₂ applied to the cylinder by moment M₁
    M₁ = F₂' x L₂ = F₂ x cosθ₁ x L₂ Thus, we have the following:
    F₂=M₁/(cosθ₁×L₂) =0.017/(cos13°×0.018)=0.017/(0.97×0.018)
    =0.97N  
    Thus, select an air cylinder with cylinder output of F.
  • Check the load by the selected cylinder.
    Moment M₂ by the air cylinder at maximum tilt
    M₂=F'×L₂=F×cosθ₁×L₂
    =4.25×cos13°×0.018=4.25×0.97×0.018=0.075N・m
    Therefore, M₂＞M₁. Thus, meeting the condition.
  • Check the suction force.
    Vacuum level: p = 70 -kPa = 0.07 -MPa, cup diameter: d = φ 20mm
    Safety factor at suction: S = 4, number of cups: n = 4
    Suction force:W=π/4×d²×p×1/S×n=π/4×20²×0.07×1/4×4=22N
    Therefore, W > M x g　　⇒ 22N > 3N Thus, the suction force satisfies the condition.

Other Design Consideration

  • By using a guide pin with spherical bearing, floating suction hand can be tilted in a desired direction to grip the workpiece.
  • The suction hand is free floating after the workpiece is released. Therefore, it is recommended to use the four cylinders to lock the hand in place when it is not gripping a workpiece.
