TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF CAD DATA
Your access to the CAD data that MISUMI Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the Company) posts on this site (including 3D CAD data, intermediate 3D CAD data and 2D CAD data; hereinafter referred to as the Data) are of products manufactured and/or sold by the Company (hereinafter referred to as the Products) assumes that you have read and accepted these terms and conditions which govern your use of the Data. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must stop using this website and the Data.

1. CAD Data
The Data is prepared for assisting the Company's users in the CAD design process by providing dimensions and other Product information. In order to provide the best speed and stability working within this site, the Product drawings were simplified to reduce the size of the Data. For instance, some of the Products are shown without the oil groove shape, screws or spring shape. Also, please be aware that the tolerance, surface roughness and/or chamfer of the Data may vary from the actual Products.
2. Disclaimer on Data
While the Company has carefully prepared the Data, accuracy of the Data is not guaranteed and is subject to the variances as described above. The Company may also modify, add or delete the Data at any time without prior notice. The Company assumes no liability for any direct, indirect, consequential or special damages that you may claim resulted from your use of the Data or any changes to or deletions of the Data regardless of the reason. The Company provides no warranty as to the quality, accuracy, functionality, safety or reliability of the combination of Products and parts. Example applications and combinations of the Products are provided for illustrative purposes only.

5. Policy of Third Parties
You may be required to separately agree to third party's policies if you use third party software to create or browse the Data or use a third party’s CAD data. In this case, the Company does not assume any responsibility for defects of such CAD data or the software of the third party or violation of their rights. Understand them before use.
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.
The CAD data unit assembly consists of sub-assemblies.
Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
* The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.
The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.
* Unit assembly CAD data consists of some sub-assemblies.
Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
Application Overview
Purpose
Transferring a workpiece using a cylinder rather than a motor.
Visual inspection for defective workpiece.
Parts are transported to a position accessible by the operator for inspection.
Points for use
Space Savings.
Workpiece is detected by a proximity sensor before and after lead-in.
Target workpiece
Plastic box
External dimensions: W100 x D100 x H70mm (2 pieces)
Pallet
External dimensions: W240 x D150 x H95mm
Weight: 10kg
Design Specifications
Operating Conditions or Design Requirements
Rod-less cylinder stroke: 830mm
Guided cylinder stroke:20mm
External dimensions: W1140 x D350 x H352mm
Selection Criteria for Main Components
Roller carrier
Selected as a conveyor without drive.
Linear guide
The moment load is not large, and therefore, select the one best suited for the whole device size.
Rod-less cylinder
Selected for conducting transportation.
Adjusting Stopper Screws
Select one capable of fine adjustment to securely hold the workpiece.
Design Evaluation
Verification of main components
Select each cylinder (guided and rod-less) from workpiece gripping force and workpiece transportation load.
Guided cylinder
Select a cylinder that can withstand the workpiece load
Force needed to grip the workforce = Cap weight = 0.2kg=2N・・・(1)
Cylinder thrust = Load factor x Operation Pressure x Tube I.D. Cross Section = 0.5 x 0.4MPa x π/4 x 20mm x 20mm = 62.8N > 2N ( = (1)) ⇒Thus, select a cylinder with Ø 20mm.
Rod-less cylinder
Force necessary for transportation = weight of object to be transported x friction coefficient of roller carrier = 10kg x 0.03 = 0.3kg=3N・・・(2)
Cylinder thrust = Load factor x Operation Pressure x Tube I.D. Cross Section = 0.5 x 0.4MPa x π/4 x 25mm x 25mm = 98N > 3N( = (2)) ⇒Thus, select a cylinder with Ø 25mm.
Other Design Consideration
Transportation is possible with access from above the workpiece. Effective for cases where no space is available at the bottom.
A proximity sensor, for which post assembly installation and removal is possible, is used for the sensor of the rod-less cylinder, aiming at workability improvement. When the sensor attached to the rod-less cylinder is used, the sensor is difficult to adjust because of LM guides mounted on the right and left sides.
In this case, mounting the proximity sensor outside the linear guides aims at workability improvement.
