Methodology and Tools for Computer-Aided Calculation of Characteristics of Electromechanical Clamping Drive Actuated by Induction Motor

Abstract

The article is devoted to solving the problem of determining the parameters of electromechanical drives of clamping mechanism of lathes. The conducted research is directed at the creation of methodology for calculating the main characteristics of a mechanism for workpiece fixation, made on the basis of a new structure with an electromechanical drive. The obtained results were used to create a computer program, which presents the results of calculations in the form ofcharacteristics to time dependency graphs. The use of the developed tools makes it possible to study the mechanism operation as a process consisting of separate strictly defined stages. The obtained model identifies the change in characteristics as they move from one stage of operation to another. The developed research tools also allow defining the optimal adjustment of this type of mechanism.
