    CAD Data Limitations

    1. Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
      You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
    2. Unit assembly Data consists of some sub-assemblies.
      It is configured so that each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or edited.

      3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

    3. The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
    4. The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.

  • * Unit assembly Data consists of some sub-assemblies.
       It is configured so that each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or edited.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Purpose
    • To perform fine adjustment during product inspection without changing overall dimensions and layout of the fixture.
  • Operation
    • By pressing the flat springs, which are installed at both ends of the slide shaft, from the outside using adjusting bolts, the slide shaft moves. Due to this movement, the optical axis of the inspection camera that is mounted onto strut clamp is adjusted.
      After that, lock the position of the slide shaft by applying the adjusting screws to the flat springs from opposite direction.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: mounted circuit board
  • Size: W80 x D80 x H12 mm
  • Weight: 40 g

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Maximum fine adjustment amount: 1.6 mm
  • Outer dimensions: W100 x D242 x H53 mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Select adjustment screws that can be used when the flat spring deflection is 1.6mm.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Verify that length of the adjusting bolts are sufficient to support all camera positions.
  • Selection of stopper bolts
    • Conditional value: arc length of flat spring (304 Stainless Steel) L1 = 49.5 mm, spring deflection limit σ = 275N/mm², Young's modulus of flat spring E = 186000N/mm², thickness of flat spring H = 1.0mm, arc length from flat spring fixing side to adjusting screw L2 = 24.75 mm, length from flat spring to plate for adjusting screw L3 = 11.1 mm, overall length of adjusting screw L4 = 30 mm, height of nut supplied with adjusting screw L5 = 4 mm
    • If we assume that the arc-shaped flat spring is a straight line, the deflection σ2 when it is handled as a spring with one end fixed,
      σ2=σ×L2²×(3×L1/L2-1)/(3×E×H)=275×24.75²×(3×49.5/24.75-1)/(3×186000×1.0)=1.51mm

      ⇒The length of adjusting screw that can perform adjustment even when the flat spring deflects for 1.51mm is
      range satisfying 1.51 + L3 < L4 - L5
      1.51+11.1＜30-5.4
      ⇒30mm, hence, selected adjusting stopper screw is acceptable for this application.

Other Design Consideration

  • When a flat spring is being adjusted using an adjusting screw on one end, the adjusting screw on the other end should not be in contact with the flat spring.
