| Glue Dispensing - Linear Motors |
Challenge:
To dispense symmetrical glue beads on both sides of a corrugated box as they pass by on a high speed conveyor line before being folded shut. Motion requires 2G acceleration and 1.2 M/sec top speed.
Solution:
The motion performance needs either a belt drive or a direct drive linear motor. A linear motor provides longer life. We implemented a thrust-tube linear motor design consisting of one magnet-impregnated rod and two independently controlled motor coils. The dispense heads are mounted to the coils. A linear encoder provides position information to the integrated motion controller/amplifier package.
