Title: Automatic apparatus for use in the carrying out of repair work  in optimum sequence on malfunctions by grouped operating machines
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 1970-09-02
Abstract: 1323566 Fault indicating systems TSUDAKOMA INDUSTRIAL CO Ltd 2 Sept 1970 [19 Sept 1969] 41907/70 Heading G4H [Also in Division D1] Apparatus enabling an operator to repair malfunctioning machines in an optimum sequence comprises a carriage for carrying the operator to any of the machines, a store in which fault signals and the addresses of the corresponding machine are stored in order of occurrence, means for classifying the fault signals in order of priority and for giving the address signal of the machine with the highest priority fault, means for comparing this signal with a signal indicating the position of the carriage to obtain a signal indicating the direction in which the carriage is to be driven, means being provided to stop the carriage at the indicated machine. As described the machines are looms 1 with means for signalling the nature of any fault which can develop together with the address of the loom. The fault signal is recoded and entered with the corresponding address signal in store 2. The output signals A of store 2 are scanned by comparator 3 to find the fault signal with the highest priority, the corresponding address being then presented at C. The operator's carriage 9 has a control circuit 4, driving means 7 and an address comparator. The carriage position signal G from driving means 7 is compared in the comparator 3 with the priority address and a signal D produced represents the distance it is necessary for the carriage to travel to reach the machine. This value and the carriage position 9 are compared at 6 to give a direction signal E which controls the direction of movement of the carriage. When the machine address C and the carriage position agree, the comparator 8 gives a signal 4 to stop the carriage. Where faults of equal priority are reported by two different machines, the carriage goes to the nearest. The store 2 may also include an accumulator for accumulating the time for which the looms are out of operation, and a display showing the cause of the malfunction. The carriage drive means may be placed under manual control.

In a weighing machine comprising a weigh beam 4 pivoted about a fulcrum 13, a counterbalance weight 3 is automatically moved until its position on the beam is within a predetermined range of that position at which balancing of a load 2 on a scale pan 1 supported near one end of the beam occurs, an indication of the weight then being obtainable on an indicator 15 from the position of the counterbalance weight 3 on the beam 4 and also from the difference between the moments of the couple of the load 2 and the couple of the counterbalance weight 3 about the fulcrum 13. A fixed detector 18 feeds a voltage of such a magnitude as to drive a servomotor 20 and to adjust a potentiometer 21 by an amount proportional to the deflection of the weigh beam 4 from its balance position. Switches are arranged on the potentiometer to energize a motor 24, which drives the counterbalance weight through a rack and pinion device towards a position of balance, only when the counterweight is not within the predetermined balancing range. Gear-wheels are so coupled and arranged to be rotated in accordance with the drive of both motors 20, 24 that a pointer 14 is deflected by an amount indicating the exact weight of the load on the indicator 15.
