  • Patent number: 11906026
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a frictional wave reducer mainly used for industrial robot joints and having an operating principle modified from that of a conventional strain wave gearing, which includes a wave generator having a conic pressurizing face on the outermost side, a toothless flex spline having a conic friction tube in which the wave generator is accommodated with the conic pressurizing face inscribed in the conic friction tube, and a toothless circular spline accommodating the toothless flex spline and having an internal conic friction face in which the conic friction tube is inscribed at a plurality of axially symmetrical points to form an internal friction wheel with the toothless flex spline. Accordingly, disadvantages of the conventional strain wave gearing are overcome to provide a reducer having high productivity and high rotation accuracy without generation of vibration and noise.

  • Patent number: 6792689
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a remote center compliance device, comprising: upper and lower structures arranged in parallel to face each other; a plurality of elastic bodies coupling the upper and lower structures around a central axis of the remote center compliance; and three or more polar-type limiters of the same height installed on a first structure of one of the upper and lower structures around the central axis to extend toward a second structure of the other, wherein the limiters are arranged such that at least one limiter exists in each of both sides as to a straight line passing through the central axis on a plane vertical to the central axis, so that when a predetermined elastic displacement of an up-and-down direction occurs in the elastic bodies, the predetermined elastic displacement of the elastic bodies is restricted by supporting a contact surface installed on an end portion of the respective limiters by a bedplate installed on the second structure.

  • Patent number: 6674723
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method of monitoring the queue state of a switch in the subscriber board of an asynchronous transfer mode switching system. A difference value between the present time value and a previous input time value stored in a memory per connection is inputted to a forward resource management (FRM) cell when a resource management (RM) cell is inputted from a source, and a switch load measurement value written in the FRM cell is obtained by calculating the difference value between the present time value and a previous output time value stored in the memory per connection when the FRM cell transmitted from the source passes through the switch. The obtained switch load measurement value is inputted to a backward resource management (BRM) cell transmitted from a destination to be transmitted to the switch.
