OBJECT ORIENTATION APPARATUS Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: machine engineering. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has a fixed base 1, the movable base 2 with guides 3 and the limiter 24 of rotation angle. Flat cams 8 are mounted on the fixed base 1; the cams 8 engage with the spherical heads 9 of the controlling members 7 through the rest shoes 10, having outer surfaces, whose curvature radius is equal to a curvature radius of the flat cams 8. The movable base 2 has the grooves 5, being joined with the spherical heads 6 of the controlling members 7. The rotation angle limiter 24 is in the form of a flywheel, a screw, engaging with the nut, supporting a bracket, having a groove, engaging with a spherical head of a pin, secured to the movable base 2. Upon rotation of the flywheels 13, 14 the object 32, being oriented, rotate around a vertical and a horizontal cross axis, passing through a geometry center of a butting end of the object 32. Upon rotation of third flywheel the object 332 rotates around a lengthwise axis. EFFECT: enlarged using range, high accuracy of orientation. 1 cl, 6 dwg
