A configuration map is defined and computed, mapping all configurations of a part before an elementary manipulative operation to all possible outcomes. Configuration maps provide a basis for planning the operation sequences which occur in parts-feeder designs or in more general sensorless manipulation strategies for robots. Sequences of elementary operations are represented as matrix-products o...

The conveyor belt is by its structure a textile composite. As load-supporting element of the conveyor, withstands variable loads during operations. In order to investigate influence level and variability loading on life belt, tests were carried out specimens in laboratory conditions. A testing device was specially designed made for these that enabled precise control monitoring as well number cy...

The article deals with the issues of mathematical modeling conveyor movement that operates as part a waste crushing line intended for cable and wire products. ways increasing efficiency conveyor, having an unstable nature load moving conveyer belt, are analyzed. It is determined reduction dynamic loads during start-up electromechanical system very relevant. solution to this issue possible by co...

The relationship between storms and extreme ocean waves in the North Sea is assessed using a long-period wave data set and storms identified in the Interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim). An ensemble sensitivity analysis is used to provide information on the spatial and temporal forcing from mean sea-level pressure and surface wind associated with extreme ocean wave height responses. Extreme o...

For the wear and damage to mine conveyor belts by foreign materials, such as large this paper designs a volume measurement method for materials based on binocular vision of material inon belt, provides safety-warning data over-volume limits belts, prevents belts. In design, first, obtaining camera parameters improve image-edge information, images taken with were then aligned Bouguet stereo corr...

In the mining industry determination of size distribution is traditionally done with big and very expensive ridars. In this paper a new method for analyzing crushed ore size distribution by means of image analysis from a conveyor belt is introduced. The method introduces a cheap and effective way to do size distribution analysis. Also a special analysis system based on the idea and built at Pyh...

Conveyor belts reinforced with steel cords fail during operation for various of reasons, including corrosion of the cords from hostile solutions, impact fracture of the cords, splice failure, wear and longitudinal tears. Though steel cord belts are generally confined to applications requiring high belt tensions, they also have applications as high-lift short belts for in-plant handling of parti...

This paper re-examines a part orienting technique that orients polygonal shaped parts with a series of fences suspended above a conveyor belt. We examine the effect of uncertainty in the coefficient of friction as well as the typical size of the final assembly. The search technique in the original work although resolution complete1, was inefficient, so we offer a heuristic search method that of...
