  • a vacuum is created within the compressor cylinder 46 and the drive cylinder 48, between the compressor piston 40 and the drive piston 50.
  • the vacuum draws the drive piston 50 upwards in the drive cylinder 48 until the ferromagnetic cap 62 of the drive piston 50 abuts the plunger 74, after which time the magnetic latch again holds or maintains the drive piston 50 in the top-dead-center position.
  • the magnetic latch may be adjusted to vary the depth to which fasteners are driven into a workpiece.
  • the actuator 80 is rotated in one direction to move the plunger 74 upward and toward a top end of the drive cylinder 48 to create a smaller gap 130 (FIG. 3) between the magnet 72 and the ferromagnetic cap 62, increasing the magnetic force between the magnet 72 and the ferromagnetic cap 62.
  • a larger compressed air force is needed to overcome the magnetic force and to release the drive piston 50.

  • the actuator 80 is rotated in an opposite direction to move the plunger 74 downward and away from the top end of the drive cylinder 48 to create a larger gap between the magnet 72 and ferromagnetic cap 62, decreasing the magnetic force between the magnet 72 and the ferromagnetic cap 62.
  • the lower magnetic force is overcome by a lower compressed air force, resulting in a reduced fastener driving depth.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, un système de propulsion pneumatique d'élément de fixation contient un cylindre (46), un piston (40), un moteur (32), une crémaillère (38), et un verrou magnétique. Le piston (40) est positionné dans le cylindre (46) et est mobile entre une position parfaitement centrée supérieure et une position parfaitement centrée inférieure. La crémaillère (38) est accouplée au piston et fonctionne pour entraîner le piston en mouvement dans le cylindre. La crémaillère est entraînée par le moteur par l'intermédiaire d'un pignon (36). Le verrou magnétique émet un champ magnétique qui attire magnétiquement le piston et est capable de maintenir le piston dans la position centrée supérieure grâce à une force magnétique, le verrou magnétique étant réglable pour faire varier la force magnétique agissant sur le piston afin de propulser des éléments de fixation dans une pièce de travail à des profondeurs différentes. L'utilisation du verrou magnétique et du verrou à longueur configurable dans le système de propulsion pneumatique d'élément de fixation offre une méthode pratique d'ajustement de la profondeur de propulsion de l'élément de fixation qui est propulsé par le système de propulsion d'élément de fixation. Aussi, l'utilisation de l'ensemble crémaillère et pignon engendre une réduction de la taille globale du système de propulsion pneumatique d'élément de fixation.
