Motor Amplifier Mechanical Component Selection System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for selecting motors and mechanical components do not account for the necessary amplifier, requiring users to perform additional selection steps after choosing a motor and reduction drive.
Innovation Solution
A selection device that includes databases for motors, amplifiers, and mechanical components, along with units for acquiring machine specifications, calculating motor capacity, and selecting appropriate motors, amplifiers, and mechanical components based on these specifications, and displaying the results.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If motor and reduction drive are selected based on load specifications, then motor and mechanical component selection is completed, but amplifier selection is not included and requires separate user operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the amplifier selection function with the motor and mechanical component selection process. The selection device now simultaneously selects all three components (motor, amplifier, and mechanical component) based on load specifications, eliminating the need for separate amplifier selection operations and improving overall selection efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The selection device is designed to perform multiple selection functions in one system. It can select motors, amplifiers, and mechanical components universally based on load specifications, making the selection process more comprehensive and reducing the number of separate selection steps required
2Ease of operation
If motor and reduction drive are selected without considering amplifier, then selection process is simpler, but additional verification and selection steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The amplifier is selected in advance together with the motor and mechanical component during the initial selection process. By performing preliminary amplifier selection based on load specifications before finalization, the system eliminates the need for subsequent amplifier selection steps and verification operations
