Increasing the reliability and resource of power stations of automatic lines

Abstract

For technological operation of pressing, punching, riveting, bending, etc. mechanisms are used to transform the movement of the executive link, which provides the required force impact on the processed materials. The paper discusses the original mechanism of the power station of the automatic packaging line ALB 165. The analysis of the power stroke lever of the power station showed an insufficient margin of safety, which was the reason for the mechanism failure. Based on the calculations performed, options for modernizing the design of the lever were proposed, which made it possible to reduce the maximum stresses and displacements in the part by 30 and 32 %, respectively.
