Envelope Theory

This article presents a mathematical model and geometric design algorithm for a new type of roller drive. The pinion has conical teeth in two circular arrays instead of one. This work is based on coordinate transformation and envelope theory, from which the equation of meshing of the cycloid drive is derived. The pinion profiles are the equidistant curves of the epicycloid profiles except the contour of the pinion conical tooth holes. Although there are twice as many pinion teeth as conventional rollers, their speed ratios are identical. This approach can design roller drives in which the pinion has two circular arrays of conical and cylindrical rollers. On the basis of these results, the corresponding solid modelling is constructed by CAD. Four examples are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach. These examples can be a useful reference as a design case for other tooth profiles.

Abstract In this paper a complex drive chain is modelled with Local Linear Neuro-Fuzzy Model (LLNF). The developed models were used for detecting different faults that may occur in the system. The models were developed based on measurements carried out on the real system. Using feed-forward neural networks with perceptron neuron structure, model-based fault diagnosis of the analysed system was developed to separate the different faults. The performance and efficiency of the developed different types of artificial neural network's structures were compared using gradient based edge detection method.

Loop Track

A novel closed loop track based multi-head robot has been developed to increase material handing throughput. This robot allows for waves of robot heads to move materials in the working path by eliminating the traditional return path. Programmable clutching of a constant moving drive chain supplies the source of motion around the loop. This paper discusses the design and impact of such a system configuration, and looks at the required distributed control system.

Application Requirements

This article presents a review on two conveyors at the Ford Motor Co.’s Wayne, MI, assembly plant that use the same technology to meet two very different requirements. One system handles fully dressed, pallet-mounted engines in packages weighing up to 1600 pounds, while the other deals with pallet-mounted instrument panels having a total package weight of 80 pounds. The conveyors, supplied by Bleichert Inc. of Sterling Heights, Mich., use a roller drive mechanism that allows them to adapt to the different application requirements. Ford accomplishes the engine/chassis marriage by lifting completely dressed engines into the vehicle from below. The pallet-mounted engines are transported on a cart, called a moon buggy by Wayne plant personnel. The drive motor can be positioned anywhere along the length of the conveyor. It uses a gear reducer and timing belt to transmit power to the driveshaft. Each of the one-meter-long driveshaft sections is linked to the next one by a coupling to complete the modular drive system.
