Contributes to stable drive and low maintenance of the turntable rotation mechanism
Pin gear drive Unit
overview
Pin gear drive unit is used on the turntable that inserts bobbins (flanged cylinders around which thread is wound) wound with wire for tire manufacturing into a transport jig and sends them to the next process.
Problem
To insert the bobbin into the transfer jig, the turntable had to rotate to move it into the robot's working area, and then the transfer jig had to be removed by a forklift, making a total of 180 degrees of rotation.
Based on past design examples, it was thought that the roller pressing method would cause slippage and unstable operation, and that adjusting the chain stretch with a chain-type pin gear would be a hassle.
Adopted products
Pin gear drive Unit
This is a gear rack with rollers that transmits power through the meshing of pin gears and pins (rollers).
It has the same function as a gear or rack and pinion, and is a transmission part that converts rotation into linear motion or rotation into another type of rotational motion by combining a pin-mechanical wheel and rack with a special gear.
Benefits of adopting the product
Pin gear drive unit operates with reliable meshing, ensuring stable operation, and was easier to install than the large slewing gear that was considered as an alternative.
