Abstract: A method of making a strain wave includes the steps of a) providing a circular spline, a flexspline meshed with the circular spline, and an initial wave generator having an initial outer profile of a standard ellipse with a perimeter S0, and b) producing a modified wave generator rotatably fitted within the flexspline and having a modified outer profile with a perimeter S. A difference ES between the perimeter S of the modified outer profile and the perimeter S0 of the initial outer profile satisfies the equation ES=S−S0=0.1 m to 0.8 m, wherein m is the modulus of the flexspline. Through a special parameter design of the modified wave generator, the meshing ratio between the circular spline and the flexspline is increased, thereby improving the transmission accuracy and reducing the average load.

Abstract: A linear transmission device includes a shaft, a moving member movably provided on the shaft, and a lubrication unit provided at the moving member. The lubrication unit has a lubricant container and a block. The lubricant container has a storage space which communicates with the interior of the moving member via a lubricant dispensing opening. The block is provided in the storage space of the lubricant container and can be displaced by an inertial force generated by movement of the moving member so that, during its displacement, the block squeezes the lubricant in the storage space, thereby driving the lubricant into the interior of the moving member through the lubricant dispensing opening for lubrication.

Abstract: A method for determining timing of oil filling for a ball screw can determine whether the oil film in a specific time period is sufficient, falling or insufficient, and then know the optimum timing of oil filling, by comparing the sum of the slope values within respective time periods with a predetermined value. The method is further capable of determining the timing of oil filling even when the rotation speed of the ball screw changes. The method includes a step of signal acquisition, a step of converting signal, a step of defining and saving eigenvalues, a step of calculating eigenvalues, and a step of determining oil filling.

Abstract: A dustproof device is provided for use with a ball screw which includes a screw rod and a nut mounted around the screw rod. The dustproof device includes an annular body and an elastic valve plate. The annular body is provided at one end of the nut and penetrated by the screw rod and has an outer annular surface provided with a debris exit. The debris exit has one end in communication with a spiral passage formed between the screw rod and the nut. The elastic valve plate, which is provided at the opposite end of the debris exit of the annular body, can be pushed open by a fluid and thus opens the debris exit, allowing the debris generated by the ball screw to be discharged through the debris exit along with the fluid, thereby contributing to extending the service life of the ball screw.

Abstract: A method of path planning for array-based pick-and-place performed with a robotic arm is characterized in that: during each instance of the pick-and-place process performed with the robotic arm, an X-axis position sensor and a Y-axis position sensor sense coordinate errors of a pick-and-place point such that a controller calculates a position compensation value according to the sum of vectors of the coordinate errors, corrects the pick-and-place position of the robotic arm according to the position compensation value, and generates the coordinates of the next pick-and-place point. By repeating the aforesaid process flow, it is feasible to perform plenty array-based pick-and-place jobs.
