The third linear shaft motor includes a linear motor stator which extends in a vertical direction and is fixed to the second arm, and a linear motor mover which is sleeved onto the linear motor stator and movable along the vertical direction. The fourth shaft motor is drivingly connected to the linear motor mover and a rotary shaft, respectively, and another end of the rotary shaft is inserted out of the second arm.

Abstract: A system for the monitoring a preload in a ball screw includes a ball screw, a detecting device, a capturing device and a processing device. The ball screw has a preload. The detecting device detects an operating signal of the ball screw. The operating signal contains information about the ball screw's rotating speed and status. The status refers to a vibration or a sound generated by the operating ball screw. The capturing device is connected to the detecting device and acquires the operating signal. The processing device is connected to the capturing device, and has a threshold. The processing device processes and converts the operating signal into a ball-passing signal. When the ball-passing signal surpasses the threshold, the processing device determines that the ball screw's preload has vanished. Thereby, the system is enabled to determine the current state of the ball screw's preload reliably.

Abstract: A SCARA robot includes a base, a first arm mounted at the base and rotatable on a first imaginary axis, a second arm mounted at the first arm and rotatable on a second imaginary axis, a shaft motor including a fixing member mounted in the second arm and an axle movable relative to the fixing member along a third imaginary axis that is substantially parallel with the first and second imaginary axes, and a rotary motor mounted in the second arm and adapted for rotating the axle on the third imaginary axis. Thus, the SCARA robot facilitates operational control, improves operational precision, voids quick wear of component parts, and lowers maintenance costs.

Abstract: A method of detecting a preload of a ball screw is to acquire an operational signal of the ball screw, to process the operational signal via a theoretical ball pass order and an order tracking analysis procedure to acquire an actual ball pass order, to compare and judge the relationship between the actual ball pass order and the theoretical ball pass order via a preload judgment procedure, and finally to observe the proportion of occurrence of side band of the actual ball pass order to determine the preload status of the ball screw.

Abstract: A mechanism for suppressing grinding-cutting vibration comprises a C-shaped base, a fixed support seat, a clamp device and a vibration absorber. Based on vibration absorbing principle of the vibration theory, the clamp device is connected to the movable cutting machine, so as to move along with the cutting machine during the machining operation, and the clamp force applied to clamp the workpiece is adjustable. By such arrangements, the vibration energy produced at the time of cutting the workpiece can be transferred to the vibration absorber through the clamp device, and then a part of the vibration energy will be absorbed by the vibration absorber, thus achieving the objective of reducing vibration of the cut position.

Abstract: A clamping device includes a seat body, two clamping elements, at least one spring, a gear, a turning wheel, an impeding element, and a release button. The seat body has a front casing and a rear casing. Each clamping element has a clamping body with a rack. The spring is disposed between the seat body and one of the two clamping elements. The gear and the turning wheel are pivoted in the seat body together. The gear is engaged with the two racks, and the turning wheel has a contact surface formed therearound. The impeding element is pivoted in the seat body, wherein the impeding element has an impeding surface that contacts the contact surface. The release button is movably disposed on the seat body and connected with the impeding element. Hence the clamping device's whole structure is simple, and the cost of the clamping device is reduced.

Abstract: A sucking disc apparatus includes a body, a sucking disc, a pulling rod, a spring, and an operation element. The body includes a pressing part and a protruding part protruding from the top of the pressing part. The sucking disc is located at the bottom of the pressing part of the body. The pulling rod is located in the body and has a rectangular slot hole. The spring is located between the body and the sucking disc. The operation element includes an operation part and a cam part. The operation element is pivoted with the protruding part of the body via a pivoting shaft. Thereby, the rectangular slot hole is hidden in the sucking disc apparatus, the appearance of the sucking disc apparatus is not affected, and muck does not drop into the rectangular slot hole so that the movement of the sucking disc is smooth.

Abstract: The present invention is an improvement on connecting terminals of multi-specification card-reading socket. To facilitate manufacturing process, the structure of connecting terminals embedded in a card-reading socket, where the card-reading socket allows insertion of memory cards with different specifications, is improved. The said connecting terminals are formed terminal module from a raw material, where the terminal module includes multiple connecting terminals. Also, inside the said terminal module U-shaped slots and grooves are provided. The terminal module is embedded in a card-reading socket after bended and formed, and then cutting at grooves are performed, such that multiple connecting terminals are embedded in the card-reading socket on the same time.

By way of integrating chip, connecting terminals, and layout of printed circuit on the base board, multiple complex connecting terminals are integrated in one to support an unified connecting specification, and through modularizing the memory connector as well as the integrated circuit base board, the card reader is downsized to facilitate being embedded into the main unit of an electrical appliance.

Abstract: An all-in-one memory card reader includes a socket into which can be inserted memory cards having more than one distinct specification. A pivot base and a blocking slide are provided at the contact tips of connecting terminals welded on the base board, such that the contact tips of layered connecting terminals are able to be pressed down. Consequently, when a distinct specification memory card is inserted, the contact tips are pressed down to prevent the mis-touch and wear-out of the memory cards' terminals.
