Eyeglass Lens Sorting Machine

Problem:  To build an accumulator capable of storing eyeglass lens blanks in magazines. The machine must be able to load and draw from any position in no sequential order.

Special Considerations:

• Random selection of parts from magazines.

• Controls system capable of interfacing with existing equipment.

• Indexer must rotate at a speed of 90 degrees per second and must have controlled acceleration and deceleration.

Solution:

To design a programmable rotary indexing system with dual concentric dial plates. Each dial capable of indexing to any position independently.

Equipment Furnished:

• Dual concentric dials with corresponding fixtures.

• Dual servo index controls for independent operation.
