The device is a precision motion right angle drive for use with linear and rotary stages which employs a combination of globoid worm and small diameter star gear. Coaxial with the star gear, on the same shaft, is a spur gear which drives the rotary stage gear or a linear rack. The thin star gear achieves meshing accuracy with the globoid worm permitting a large tooth angle for direct preloading without jamming. This gear combination eliminates backlash, allows a low gear ratio for low globoid worm speed, and enables the use of an ordinary spur gear to engage the stage gear without backdrive or backlash. Further, it allows for gear contact area to compensate for the thinness of the star gear. An embodiment including an integrated bearing rotary stage permits flexibility of application and avoidance of need for custom bearing designs by achieving high motion precision at low cost.

A fruit coring device including a handle and a tubular member having first and second ends. The tubular member defines a longitudinal axis and has an interior region. One end of the circular tubular member is integral or fast with the handle and the second end defines a member cutting edge. The fruit coring device includes a blade with a cutting edge supported within the circular interior of the circular tubular member substantially normal to the member cutting edge.

A compensation mechanism for correcting component fabrication and assembly deviations in component precision positioning stages utilizing a planar mounting table arranged to slide between two rails consisting of a pair of opposed grooves disposed in one edge of the table and a single groove in an opposite edge of the table, a leaf spring forming slot being provided in close proximity to opposite edge to provide spring bias of the grooves against the rails.
摘要:
A pressure actuated electrical contact switch composed of two planar electrodes having substantially thinner contact members extending therefrom and disposed at an obtuse angle. The electrodes are bound together by electrically insulating epoxy and the contact members are arranged in proximate spaced apart relationship such that pressure on one causes mechanical and electrical contact with the other.

A rotary stage having a rotary table mounted by a bearing on a shaft defining a table axis of rotation and supported on a base plate by an optically polished surface, the bearing comprising a ball bearing pre-loaded axially by an axially adjustable split ring in engagement with an annular chamfer on a race of the bearing to center the bearing relative to the table axis.
摘要:
A microgripper for gripping objects in which gripper arms are actuated against a resilient bias by cams and cam followers powered by a stepper or servo motor operating through a lead screw and nut drive mechanism. Ramp cams, face cams and perimeter cams may be utilized and the arms of the microgripper may be rigidly or pivotally supported at the ends remote from the component gripping ends thereof.

An optical positioning stage arranged for the precise movement of light optical components or the like composed of a pair of plates having rail receiving grooves, a pair of rails joining the plates and attached thereto by an adhesive, and a work piece mounting table slideably disposed between the rails and the plates, and an electric motor assembly consisting of a motor, a speed reducing gear train and an encoder all mounted on an additional plate positioned between the rails and operationally connected to the work piece table.
摘要:
A mechanism for determining the position of a point relative to a coordinate system defined by coordinate scales aligned along coordinate axes includes a coordinate reference plane and a coordinate read plane and a read mechanism associated with each coordinate scale. Each read mechanism is engaged with the coordinate read plane and the coordinate reference plane to be responsive to relative motion between the coordinate read plane and the coordinate reference plane to indicate a position of the point on the along the corresponding coordinate scale, and is coupled to the coordinate read plane and to the coordinate reference plane to allow relative transverse motion between the coordinate read plane and the corresponding coordinate axis. Each read mechanism includes a guide mechanism for retaining the read mechanism at a predetermined position along an axis transverse to the corresponding coordinate axis with transverse motion between the coordinate read plane and the coordinate reference plane.
