Hello,
I need to get some help regarding an electro-mechanical system that controls the height of a glass. It is made up of a stepper motor, 1 lead screw, 2 linear motion shafts, and 3 nuts housing brackets that are attached to the glass. What type of simulation should I conduct to this system, and what would be the steps to set it all up in order to get the outcomes and make sure that:
1-The nuts housing brackets can effectively hold the glass by using 3mm screws (will it be strong enough to hold a 11kg glass?) This is the most critical part since we are trying to keep the open gap that exists between the glass and the nut housing bracket as narrow as possible. The glass weighs 11 kg and the face of the nut housing that is screwed to the glass is just 5mm witdh.
2- By choosing the right Stepper motor, the upward and downward movement will be performed smoothly.
In the video, you just can see the top part of this animal transfer station, I think it is enough to understand the functionality of this system, but if you need more info please don't hesitate to ask.
So, I don't know what the proper study I am thinking of is..
Description of the station: Its main purpose is to pull air room through the perforated trays that you can see along the edge of the work surface (inside the bottom box there is an EC fan that sucks de air). Then, the air passes through two filters and it travels through the plenum (back part that connects the bottom and top part) and exhausts from the top creating an air curtain near the view screen that moves faster than the air inside the cabinet, minimizing the chance for allergens to scape the work area.
please, refer to the videos and photos to get a clearer idea.
