[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a device for adjusting the frictional force of a moving body traveling along a guide surface in a mechanism for moving a carriage such as a coordinate measuring machine.

When the carriage is selectively movable by two methods, manual operation and automatic drive, the manual mode aims to improve operability through nimble running, while the automatic drive mode improves stability of movement and positioning accuracy. Furthermore, in order to reduce positioning time, the frictional force between the carriage and the guide surface can be changed during manual operation and automatic operation.
That is, it is desired that the frictional resistance be weak during manual operation and strong during automatic drive.

Conventionally, in automatic drive coordinate measuring machines, in order to ensure stability of movement and positioning accuracy, brakes are provided between each of the X, Y, and Z carriages and their respective guide surfaces. Mechanisms that increase the frictional force with surfaces have been used. However, unlike when operating automatically, during manual operation, the probe attached to the tip of the elongated Z-axis is held and moved, so if the frictional force is strong, the Z-axis
There was a problem that it was difficult to use both manual operation and automatic drive because there was a deflection error due to the braking force of the shaft and there were obstacles such as the inability to move the carriage lightly and smoothly. Also, with a coordinate measuring machine, from one measurement point to the next, X, Y,
Movement in the Z3-axis direction is often performed at the same time, and especially in the case of manual measurement, it is required that the movement resistance in each axis direction be the same in order not to impede the lightness of movement, stability, and operability. However, since the mass of each shaft carriage is different, the influence of inertial force is not equal, and therefore the movement resistance is not uniform.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The figure is an explanatory diagram showing the main parts of this embodiment. In the figure, 1 is a guide surface provided on a base, and 2 is a carriage that is movably provided with, for example, an air bearing or roller (not shown) interposed between the guide surface and the guide surface. This carriage 2
A main body 3 of the brake mechanism is attached to the main body 3, and a lever 5 is formed at the lower part of the main body 3 via a thin elastic fulcrum 4 without play. The brake shoe 6 is provided between the guide surface 1 near the tip of the lever 5, and presses the brake shoe 6 between the surface of the lever 5 opposite to the mounting surface of the brake shoe 6 and the main body 3. A compression spring 7 is attached for this purpose.

Also, the main body 3 is attached to the shaft stop 8 at the tip of the lever 5.
Piston rod 1 of air cylinder 9 attached to
0 is connected, and the lower chamber of the air cylinder 9 is provided with an inlet for pressurized air supplied through, for example, a separately placed pressure regulating valve 12 and a direction control valve 11.

In the above configuration, when the carriage 2 is automatically driven by a motor or the like, the brake system can be operated by operating the directional control valve 11 to cut off the supply of pressurized air to the cylinder 9 or by adjusting the pressure regulating valve. Let the pressing force F 1 of the user 6 against the guide surface 1 be the repulsive force F s of the compression spring 7 or an approximate value. (F 1 ≒ F s )
At this time, the frictional force f 1 becomes f 1 (μF s (μ is the friction coefficient), and the brake is almost fully applied.

On the other hand, during manual operation, the directional control valve 11 is switched to supply pressurized air to the cylinder 9, and the force F a that reduces the pressing force F s of the brake shoe 6 against the guide surface 1 (F a is the supplied pressurized air pressure × effective pressure receiving area of the piston), and the pressing force F 2 of the brake shoe is reduced to F 2 =F s −F a . Therefore, the frictional force (f 2 ) at this time becomes f 2 =μ(F s −F a ) , and the braking force is reduced.

When moving in the three axes of X, Y, and Z, such as a coordinate measuring machine, the device of the above embodiment is attached to a carriage for each axis. In this case, the compression springs 7 used for each shaft are appropriately selected and used with different spring constants suitable for the weight of the carriage for each shaft. In this case, only one pressure regulating valve may be provided on the supply side of the pressurized air source. Alternatively, the present invention can be implemented by providing a dedicated pressure regulating valve in front of the directional control valve 11 attached to the main adjustment device for each axis and adjusting the supply air pressure.

As explained above, according to the device of the present invention,
During automatic drive, the friction force can be increased, suppressing minute vibrations, improving dynamic stability and positioning accuracy, and during manual operation, the friction force can be reduced to an appropriate amount, reducing movement. In addition to improving stability and operability and ensuring positioning accuracy, in the case of multiple axes, it is possible to suppress the effects of differences in inertia of each axis carriage.
This makes it possible to use both an automatic drive system and a manual operation system, which was previously considered difficult. In addition, since it uses a cylinder and piston system, there is no heat generation, which has little effect on accuracy, especially in the case of measuring instruments, and the friction force can be adjusted steplessly by adjusting the pressure of the medium supplied to the cylinder. Excellent effects can be obtained.
