engineerTex, i've already made sure that the Center of gravity of the Boom is located in the center of the fixture to make sure that the load is balanced, this is why i stated that the height of the supporting frame has to be (264 mm. thanks for your guidance and i'l have to consult some one...
Thanks desertfox for your intreset. The frame is bolted to the manipulator via 12 mm bolt. The Green coloured structure (Boom) sits on the center of the frame between the two vertical members of the frame. the Boom will also be secured down to the frame by the use of adjustable block.
i have included the full diagram of the manipulator, i hope this will give a better explanintion of whats required.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e5480689-c4ba-4bad-8afb-4cac25582e59&file=assembly.jpg
a lot of appreciation to everyone who tried to help me solve the matter. I'm really sorry about the unclear explaintion of what is required.
dhenger i'm not looking for a structure that does not deflect when loaded, i'm looking for a mimiumum structure that can take the vertical load without...
the frame will be made out of a 40 mm steel plate and the profile will be cut using a cnc so it will require any weld. how can i find the minimum wall thickness using simply supported beam equation?
thanks alot for your time and effort,
i have included a jpeg file with this so you can have a look at it. what i need to find is permanent deformation and the fixture will only have 200 kg resting on top of it in any case. thanx again for your...
no this for work project, i'm desiging a base frame for a welding manipulator, the base frame will be made out of mild steel. i've looked for information all over the web but struggled to find what i'm looking for so if you can help i'l be very greatful
could some one tell me how to work out the minimum wall thickness that can be used without causing any deformation. please refer to the file attached for furthur info.
