MANIPULATOR WRIST WITH POWER SENSIBILIZATION Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: technological equipment. SUBSTANCE: manipulator wrist may be used in actuating mechanisms of manipulators operating in combination with sheet-bending machines. Manipulator wrist has catch, central shaft, body, L-shaped flexible member, and inductive pickups of flexible member shift. Shaft is provided with a cam fixed to flexible member. Pickups are positioned so that distance from flexible member to operating surface of pickup is equal to value h. Cam is mounted in body with clearance S selected from formula S = 0.2-0.8h. Under effect of external load cam is shifted in body, clearances S and h are taken up, and pickups are changed over. Pickups from control signal for respective drives of manipulator which shift wrist along axes X, Y and Z, thus enhancing durability and loading capacity of manipulator wrist. EFFECT: higher reliability. 2 dwg
