Most
cam indexers are equipped with input shafts on the T and U sides. Under special circumstances, non-standard production can only install the input shaft on one side according to actual needs. Then, what are the advantages of installing the input shaft on both ends of the cam indexer?
1. Easy to install and use. In the early stage of the design of the cam indexer standard parts, the input shaft is installed on both sides. In actual applications, one side of the input shaft is used to install the drive motor for driving the indexer, and the other side is In order to match the rhythm of the movement and stop of the entire automation system, the induction transmission device is installed. Since the input shafts at both ends belong to the same axis, the sensor signal of the movement and stop will be more accurate in terms of control, and the light sensing is toward the automated PLC control system The signal is transmitted, and the control system calculates and issues control instructions. The whole process is a relatively fast process.
2. Even so, there will be delays, especially for high-speed automation systems, when the input shaft speed reaches 600 to 800 RPM per minute, more than ten speeds per second, each link needs to be optimized. Some induction systems are also installed on the output shaft or disc, which is also possible for situations where the accuracy is not high.Flexible combination or multi-level design, the indexer with the input shaft is installed on both sides, and the design of a drive motor to achieve multiple motion transmission is flexible. In automation systems, it is often seen that a single motor can achieve multiple transmission motions. In this case, the input shaft of the cam indexer acts as a drive shaft and at the same time becomes a transmission shaft. In the case of driving the indexer, it can also be used for transmission of other mechanical actions. It effectively guarantees the full use of energy, and is also a good result for the space and cost saving in the design.
3. In the case of the input shafts at both ends of the cam indexer, because the input shafts on both sides can be installed with
drive motors, in addition to ensuring normal use, the motor installation method is also more flexible for future system maintenance or drive direction changes.
