摘要： A method and apparatus for measuring and sorting component parts of an assembly includes a single station wherein parts are continuously fed, precisely measured, sorted by measurement, and then transported. For measuring the parts a contact member is mounted for extremely precise and controlled movements by a voice coil motor. The contact member is initially referenced with respect to a datum and is then placed into contact with the part. An optical encoder senses the position of the contact member to enable a determination of the critical dimension. The contact member includes a removable portion that is shaped to measure a desired critical dimension. This may include the height, inside diameter, outside diameter, roundness, or location of a feature of the part.

摘要： A linear voice coil actuator using a removable electromagnetic coil includes an electrically conductive wire wound on a plastic bobbin. The wire which is wrapped around the bobbin is connected to an external power source as the electromagnetic coil is attached to the linear voice coil actuator. Current applied from the external power source causes the electromagnetic coil to selectively generate a magnetic field and, in response to generation of the magnetic field, to move translationally within a fixed magnetic field. The translational movement of the coil moves a grip which is mounted on the coil to allow the grip to selectively position and manipulate objects and things.

摘要： An actuator for precisely moving and positioning a manufacturing component includes a housing on which a magnet is mounted. An electromagnetic is slidingly mounted on the housing for movement within the magnetic field generated by the magnet. A rod, having a member for gripping the component, is attached for translational movement with the electromagnetic coil. In the operation of the actuator, a current is selectively applied to the electromagnetic coil. The current in the coil creates a magnetic field that moves the electromagnetic coil and the attached grip within the magnetic field to position the component as desired in translation. A retractor causes the grip to preferentially adopt a predetermined position, or dwell configuration.

摘要： An apparatus for precisely moving and positioning a manufacturing component includes a housing on which a magnet is mounted. An electrical coil is wound around a coil piston which is slidingly mounted on the housing for movement within the magnetic field generated by the magnet. A rod, having a member for gripping the component, is attached for translational movement with the coil piston, and a source of electrical current is connected to the coil which is wrapped around the coil piston. A pneumatic rotary actuator is mounted on the apparatus, and a coupling connects the rotary actuator to the grip for rotation of the grip as desired. A vacuum source can be connected to the grip to allow picking up a fragile workpiece. In the operation of the apparatus, a current is selectively passed through the coil. This current in the coil then moves the coil piston and the attached grip within the magnetic field to position the component as desired in translation. Also, the rotary actuator can be activated to move the grip in rotation as desired. Additionally, position sensors can be mounted on the apparatus to determine the location of the coil piston, and a controller can be incorporated in the apparatus to use this position determination for controlling movement of the coil piston and the attached grip in translation and rotation.

A grip, having a member for gripping the component, is attached for movement with the coil piston. In the operation of the actuator, a current is selectively passed through the coil.

The grip is removably attached to the coil piston and is slidingly journaled within a resilient bushing mounted to the housing. The bushing functions to absorb forces generated by the interaction of the grip and work piece or another object and to transmit these forces to the housing rather than to the coil piston.

摘要： A pneumatic/electric actuator for precisely positioning a workpiece and for applying a force to the workpiece. The pneumatic/electric actuator includes an electric actuator in the form of a voice coil motor having an output rod coupled to the cylinder rod of a pneumatic cylinder. The output rod is mounted for extremely precise and measured movements by the electric actuator and can be adapted to contact and precisely position the workpiece. After precise positioning of the workpiece the pneumatic cylinder can be actuated to extend the cylinder rod and exert a force through the output rod to the workpiece. In an alternate embodiment the electric actuator is mounted directly on a pneumatic cylinder and can be moved by the pneumatic cylinder to increase an effective stroke of the output rod of the electric actuator.
