Abstract
A dual axis transfer mechanism comprising a pair of motors mounted onto a frame for independently rotating a pair of threaded shafts fixed in parallel relation. Each of the shafts is threaded into a carrier member connected to one end of a respective arm, the opposite end of each arm being connected at a common pivot point. Rotation of each shaft caused by its respective motor causes movement of the carrier member threaded thereon which effects movement of the common pivot point to which a tool is attached.
Claims16
A dual axis transfer device comprising:
- wall structure defining a frame means;
- a pair of motor means fixedly mounted on said frame means, each said motor means having a shaft connected thereto, said shafts being fixed in parallel relation one with the other;
- a pair of carrier members, a first carrier member being connected to one said shaft and a second carrier member being connected to the other said shaft, for movement along said shafts;
- a pair of arms interconnecting said carrier members and connected one to the other at a common pivot point, whereby the energizing of a motor means is effective to move said common pivot point relative to said frame means.
