What are the components of the automation system using the c

After the cam indexer has been technically selected and processed, during the installation process with the power source and the driven device, some auxiliary accessories need to be added according to the actual situation to complete the operation of the entire transmission system. When the gear reduction motor is the driving source, the accessories used in the installation process of the flange-type cam indexer will be a brief introduction for everyone.

1. The connecting plate is used to connect the cam indexer and the drive motor. First, fix the drive motor end. The fastening screws need to be installed with anti-loosening washers. In order to facilitate the installation of subsequent components, the cam indexer end will not be fixed for the time being.

2. Synchronous wheels and synchronous belts are used as the driving medium between the cam indexer and the motor. Since synchronous transmission is conducive to precision control, when installing, the tension of the synchronous belt should be moderate, and the synchronous wheel and the motor drive shaft And the synchronization wheel is tightly connected with the input shaft of the cam indexer. Pay attention to tighten the screw to prevent the connection between the synchronization wheel and the drive shaft from loosening. In the process of adjusting the timing wheel and timing belt, at the same time, tighten the mounting screws of the cam indexer.

3. Signal cam. The function of the signal cam is mainly to control the movement and stop of the input shaft of the indexer. The opening angle of the signal cam is consistent with the movement and stop angle of the cam indexer. Generally, the signal cam is installed on the input shaft of the cam indexer. The other side. When the input shaft rotates, it combines with the sensor to transmit a control signal.

4. The photoelectric sensor uses the principle of light sensor for signal transmission. During the rotation of the signal cam, the light sensor senses the opening and the closed mouth to actuate and stop the signal transmission.

5. Torque limiter. In some transmission systems, a torque limiter must be installed. When an overload fault occurs (torque exceeds the set value), the torque limiter will be separated, thereby effectively protecting the cam indexer and the drive motor .

Above, the related accessories used in the installation process of the cam indexer are briefly listed. For customer manufacturers with special requirements, other accessories will be added according to actual needs.
