Calculation of Koganei's micro-ejector when suctioning and vertically transferring a workpiece

April 20, 2017

good day (daytime greeting)Calculations for the Koganei micro-ejector to suck and vertically transfer a workpiece." Here is a note about the

 

I am uploading a calculation sheet that I created for a recent study on equipment that uses micro-ejectors to adsorb and convey products.

Calculation for adsorption and vertical transfer

Information required for calculations

The information required to calculate adsorption transfer is as follows

 

  • Operating pressure (MPa)
  • H adsorbate [workpiece] (N)
  • G acceleration time
  • S Max. transport speed (m/s)
  • f External load resistance (N)
  • A Vacuum side piping (tube) inner diameter (φ or mm)
  • M Vacuum side piping (tube) length (mm)
  • K Adsorption surface aperture (φ or mm)
  • nNumber of adsorption holes (pcs)
  • P Attained vacuum (kPa)
  • Index by N nozzle diameter (from table below)
  • C Constant depending on the degree of vacuum (from the table below)
  • U Safety Ratio

*Vacuum is the pressure of the remaining gas.

 

 

Actual calculation

The following calculations will be considered when Koganei's micro ejector is used to adsorb and vertically transfer a workpiece.

 

Amount of material transported

H'(kg)=H/9.8

 

acceleration

α(m/s^2)=S/G

 

Axial load during upward acceleration

F[N]=H+f+(H'*α)

 

Converts attained vacuum to Mpa

P'=P/1000

 

Vacuum piping volume

L[l liter]=((3.14*((A/10)^2))/4)*(M/10)/1000

 

Micro-ejector response time

T[s]=(l/C)^N

 

Adsorption power (single hole)

R[N]=-((K/2)^2*3.14)*P'

 

Total adsorption

R'[N]=R*n

Check whether the total suction force is sufficient to lift the conveyed object at that acceleration.

That's it.
