House of Quality Pareto Analysis • Top Specifications • Movement resolution • Position Repeatability • Manufacturing Cost • Joystick Control • Backlash reduction • If Top 8 of 16 Specs Met • 76% of customer needs satisfied
Stepper Motors • Gear ratio: 26 103/121 : 1 planetary Gear • Max holding torque: 7.55 N-m • Max sustainable torque: 2.94 N-m • Step angle: 0.067 degrees • Max Speed: 22.88 RPM • # Leads: 4 – Bipolar stepper • Electrical: 12V supply 1.6A/phase
Resolution Feasibility Analysis • Lead=0.0125 in/rev = 0.3175mm/rev • Gear Ratio = 26 103/121:1 • Step Angle Before Gears = 1.8° • Step Angle After Gears = 0.07° • With hydraulic advantage of 1.78 • 33nm/step • If we quarter step, 8nm/quarter step
Range of Motion Feasibility Analysis • 40mm range • translates to ~20mm range on manipulator • 20mm > 10 mm 40mm
Speed Feasibility Analysis • Motor rated at 22 RPM • Lead = 0.3175 mm/rev • 0.065 mm/s < 0.5 mm/s • Does not meet specification • 0.065 mm/s is comparable to commercial manipulators
Motor Torque Feasibility • Motor is rated for 2.96Nm • Loss due to micro-stepping • With 4 micro-steps per step, the max rated torque becomes .571Nm when micro stepping
Motor Torque Feasibility • Motor will also need to overcome friction • Loss due to lead screw nut drag; property of lead screw • Loss to overcome system friction • With calculated Friction Force of 20.96NM, lead of .0003175m, and lead screw thread efficiency of 13%
Motor Torque Feasibility • Motor will also have to overcome accelerating the lead screw. • Assuming acceleration is only for .1second:
Motor Torque Feasibility • Torque required from the motor: • Motor Factor of Safety
Test Plan • Resolution • 20 revolutions = 6.35mm • Limits of travel • Operate full range of motion and measure distance • Speed of travel • Measure the time taken to complete 10 revolutions • System backlash • Number of steps taken to change direction • Safe in full range of motion • Make sure nothing is damaged
Feasibility Analysis • Max rated pressure = 430 psi = 2.96MPa • Radial Expansion • Thermal Expansion
Test Plan • Limits of travel • Operate full range of motion and measure distance • System Drift • Compress and hold at a set displacement and measure drift after elapsed time
