Machine structure

1. Unwinding mechanism (single arm manual rewinding)

The unwinding part mainly has three functions: active unwinding, real-time automatic correction and automatic tension control;

The active unwinding is powered by the motor through the synchronous pulley, and the unwinding speed is determined according to the real-time change of tension and coating speed. The whole process runs automatically to ensure the perfect matching of unwinding speed and coating speed. It avoids the large fluctuation of tension caused by the non-linear power output of the magnetic powder which can not control the unwinding speed in real time and actively when the conventional magnetic powder is passively unwinding, which affects the coating speed.

2.Coating mechanism

The head of the machine is mainly composed of scraper mechanism, steel roller mechanism, rubber roller mechanism and rubber roller drive.

·The scraper mechanism drives the high-precision screw rod to drive to the inclined block through the worm reducer, and transfers to the up and down movement of the scraper through the horizontal movement of the inclined block and the inclined block, which makes the adjustment accuracy more accurate, easier to control, and greatly reduces the reverse clearance.

·The steel roller mechanism is connected with the steel rod through the double diaphragm coupling through the servo motor. The steel roller bearing adopts high-precision imported bearing, which ensures the runout below 1.5um after installation through unique installation method.

·Compared with the traditional rubber roller mechanism, the driving motor is fixed, and the soft connection of the double diaphragm coupling avoids the influence of the motor vibration on the coating, ensures the coating accuracy, avoids the motor and the rubber roller moving back and forth together, prolongs the service life of the motor, and reduces the inertia of the rubber roller during the coating.

·The rubber roller driving mechanism connects the motor and the rubber roller through the screw rod, and converts the rotation movement of the motor into the front and back movement of the rubber roller. The rubber roller seat and the motor are installed on the movable slide block, with fast response and high precision.
