BODY ASSEMBLING DEVICE WITH TACTILE SENSOR

摘要

PURPOSE:To accurately detect the direction and magnitude of a working load at tactile elements by separating the part holders of a body assembling device from the tactile elements to detect a lateral load working on a body to make the part holders take up bending moment due to the lateral load. CONSTITUTION:A body assembling device is provided with part holders 6a-6c separately from tactile elements 3a-3c to hold a body 1 at the intervals of 120 deg. in three directions. The tactile elements 3a-3c press pressure sensitive sensors 2a-2c against the body 1 under the pressure which allows the pressure sensitive sensors 2a-2c to work effectively and the deformation of the tactile elements to be neglected. Assuming that the tip of the body 1 strikes against the guide wall 5 of a inserting hole 4 and comes into contact with it to be applied a lateral load in inserting the body 1 in the inserting hole 4, part holders 6a-6c are subjected to lateral force and bending moment in accordance with the lateral load, but the tactile elements 3a-3c are subjected to only lateral force in proportion to the lateral load and to no bending moment.
