Experimental investigation of parts vibratory alignment under kinema-tical excitation

Abstract

Presented paper investigates vibratory alignment and matching of the parts to be assembled automatically. Experimental setups for alignment of the parts having rec-tangular and circular cross-sections are given. Results ob-tained performing alignment of circular and rectangular chamferless parts under different both the excitation, initial pressing force and parts misalignment conditions are given. The obtained experimental results led to the con-clusion that vibratory alignment of the parts to be assem-bled is simple, reliable and inexpensive technique for peg-in-hole operations.
