Description

X-Y DRIVE This invention is concerned with the provision of an actuatin2 mechanism, for positioning a workhead by planar movement in two dimensions, usually known in the art as an X-Y drive device. The workhead may, for example, be an engraving tool movable relative to a workpiece.
According to the present invention an X-Y drive device is provided for positioning a workhead by planar movement in two dimensions wherein the device comprises a movable beam on which the workhead can be mounted and flexible drive means to which the workhead can be connected characterised in that the flexible drive means is extended over an arrangement of pulleys including two fixed power-driven pulleys and at least six freely mounted pulleys four of which are on the movable beam, the disposition of the nllleys being such that the flexible drive means forms a substant ially H-shaped configuration with two of the projecting arms of the H extending in one direction and the other two projecting arms of the H extending in the other or opposite direction and the beam forming the crossbar of the H, and further characterised in that the two driven pulleys are disposed at the ends of the arms of the H extending in said one direction and two of the freely mounted pulleys are disposed at the ends of the two arms of the H extending in said opposite direction. The flexible drive means may be a belt, a chain, a wire or other suitable means and the H shaped configuration of the drive means has several advantages for example the power driven pulleys are preferably static and need not be mounted on movable parts of the mechanism and the number of precision made parts is reduced to a minimum. It is also an advantage to be able to use, for example, a single drive belt as the flexible drive means. The H shaped configuration of the drive means and the pulleys provides an X-Y drive device of mathematical simplicity, even in applications which require a high degree of precision.
Possible applications for the actuating mechanism described herein include workheads such as X-Y plotters, flat bed drills or routers, surface applicators (e.g. for glues or paints), flat bed scanners (e.g. fax machined), moving beam machines (e.g. small gantry cranes), chemical autosamplers, engraving tools, and so on.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood reference is now directed to the accompanying drawings given by way of example, in which: Figure 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a basic layout of a flexible drive means arranged in an H shaped configuration in accordance with this invention, Figure 2 is a diagrammatic view of part of an engineering example of an actuating mechanism according to the invention, for use with a flatbed plotter, Figure 3 is view similar to Figure 1, the driving means being operable to position a slidable workhead which rides on a movable beam and the drive means being clamped to the workhead, Figure 4 is a detail pictorial view with the beam supported on rollers, Figures 5, 6 and 7 illustrate by means of arrows the possible X and Y movements, Figure 8 is a pictorial view of a flat bed plotter operated in accordance with the invention, and Figure 9 is a view showing how beam support rollers may be placed on the outside of the supports.
Referring particularly to Figure 1, the flexible drive means is in the form of a long belt 12 formed ipto an H shaped configuration by passing over two fixed power driven, e.g. motorised, pulleys 1, 2 and six free pulleys 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 8. A bam 9 is movable on the Y axis as shown by the Y arrow and a workhead 10 is movable along the beam 9 on the X axis as shown by the arrow X, the workhead 10 being clamped to the drive belt 12. In this example moturs indicated by arrows A and B are provided to drive the fixed driven pulleys 1 and 2.
The principle of operation is relatively simple in that the X movement is achieved by turning both pulleys 1, 2, in the same direction and the Y movement is achieved by turning the pulleys 1, 2, in the opposite directions.
The formula for the rotation of the A motor and thus of the pulley 1 is A = X-Y ard the formula for the rotation of the B motor and thus of the pulley 2 is B = X+Y.
In the above formulae, X and Y are axis movements and not the positions. This is similar to standard X and Y movements except that these are normally combined rather than applying to separate motor movements. Thus it is possible to use existing software with minor modifications in computer controlled operation.
In nperation the verticals of the H configuration defined by the belt 12 being extended over pulleys (1 and 7) and (2 and 8) must be substantially parallel but do not have to be the same length or even in the same vertical position and the belt can be tensioned by adjusting either pulley 7 or 8.
The beam should be rigid in order to withstand the pulley tensions which would tend to pull a cantalevered pulley to one side and pulleys 3, 4, 5, 6 should preferably be placed on a single lateral plane to minimise twisting which could lift or distort the beam. All the freerunning pulleys should have a minimal tension and wherever possible steps should to taken to reduce friction.The beam should preferably have a low mass to reduce inertia in order to enable the beam and workhead to be movable relatively quickly The beam 9 may be mounted on a supporting table in such a way as to withstand sideways movement, possibly caused by vibration and/or friction but rigid mounting of the beam is not normally necessary as the tensions within the H shaped configuration of the flexible drive means may be sufficient in most cases to effect allignment of the beam 9.
Alternatively the beam 9 may be mounted on supporting rails preferably closely coupled together to minimise crabbing.
The flexible drive means 12 must be able to withstand the tensioning required to effect the X Y movements with the minimum of stretch, howevPr the tension does not need to be high as errors caused by slack will be cancelled out.
Since the overall distances may be relatively large special timing belts or a steel or other strong wire may sometimes be needed.
The supporting table or base plate should be rigid between the vertical pulleys 1 and 7 and 2 and 8 but horizontal bracing is not normally needed because horizontal stresses are taken up by the beam. The actual work surface may be light but should not flex during operation.
The embodiment of the invention shown diagrammatically in Figure 2 is intended for use with a flat bed plotter.
The drive supports may be tubular as there will be no lateral tension but considerable horizontal strength is preferably provided as the tensions tend to pull the ends of the beam together. In this embodiment the beam and the workhead are supported by concave pulleys which may be conductive to allow a single power supply to be connected to the workhead without special wire connectors, the beam support tubes being insulated at one end to facilitate this arrangement.
As described above and as shown diagrammatically in Figure 3 the invention provides an X-Y positioning device which uses two power driven pulleys 1 and 2 and a single continuous drive belt or other flexible drive means 12 to position a slidable workhead 10 which rides on a movable beam 9. The belt 12 is fixed to the workhead 10 by a clamp 11 and the power driven pulleys 1, 2 and the free pulleys 7, 8 are nollnted on a supporting table 13, belt tension being adjusted by moving pulley 7 or 8 towards or away from pulleys 1 or 2. As described pulleys 1 and 2 provide movement for both axes, movement in the horizontal X axis being provided by turning the pulleys 1, 2 in the same direction and movement in the vertical Y axis being provided by turning the pulleys 1, 2 in the opposite directions.The vertical axes defined by pulleys 1, 3, 5, 7 and 2, 4, 6, 8 being as nearly parallel as possible. There is virtually no horizontal tension between pulleys 1, 2 or 7, 8, the only significant horizontal tension being on the beam 9 itself so virtually the only strength required is on the vertical planes between pulleys 1 and 7, 2 and 8.
To sum up at this stage it will be understood that the invention provides a positioning device which uses a single flexible drive band or other suitable drive means powered by e.g. two motors to provide movement on both axes simultaneously. The design requires that strength need only be applied on one axis, and that the angular position of the moving member is determined by the coupling to the tubular supports. This results in reduced cost and complexity and a reduced requirement for precise engineering.
Figure 4 is a detail pictorial view showing how the beam 9 can be supported on rollers 14 which ride on tubular supports 15.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 respectively give details of X and Y movements and combined movements. In Figure 5 the X movement is achieved by rotating the motors in the same direction, counter clockwise to move the workhead to the left and clockwise to move the workhead to the right. All parts of the belt 12 will be moving and the workhead will move but the beam 9 will be stationary because there is nothing to induce movement of the beam.
In Figure 6 the Y movement is achieved by rotating the motors in opposite directions so that the beam will be moved up or down on the Y axis. There will be substantially no movement of the belt between the beam pulleys, so to move the beam up to Figure 6 the left hand motor 1 is turned counterclockwise and the right hand motor 2 is turned clockwise and vice versa to move the beam down.
In Figure 7, in order to produce combined movements the left hand motor 1 is stationary and the right hand motor 2 is turned clockwise. The result will be that the workhead will be moved at 450 towards the top right as indicated by the large arrow. The left hand portion of the belt 12 will not move as the belt 12 will be taken up by and fed out from the beam.
Figure 8 is a pictorial view of a flatbed plotter, in accordance with the invention, in which the beam and workhead are supported on rollers which ride on tubular or other supports. The beam and workhead rollers may be electrically conductive so that power applied to the beam supports is conducted to the opposing workhead supports and then to the workhead itself. This arrangement allows a single power supply to be connected to the workhead without wire connectors, the beam supports being insulated to facilitate this arrangement.
Figure 9 shows how the beam support rollers may be placed on the outside of the supports.
