For now we would like to introduce to you
about “How to utilize TOK?”
with a past inquiry as example.
INQUIRY VIA WEBSITE (CUSTOMER)
-
The customer is a manufacturer related
to screen doors like preventing from bugs
-
Desired to improve the motion
when the screen door opens
-
The screen door has a spring roller
inside that is turned to create tension to rewind to open position
-
To prevent from slamming they
have already been using governor device which a competitor provided
PROBLEM
Current motion: When screen door rewinds to
open position by spring force, the screen door sometimes stops on the way unintentionally.
CUSTOMER
REQUIREMENT
They desired to have new function for
preventing from the above problem,
and therefore they asked TOK if it was
possible to create new product which is adaptable to acceleration speed of the
screen door.
TOK
DESIGNING
At first we had already an idea to create
such a motion because we had an experience of developing for other application in the past.
Instead of the competitor product(governor device),
TOK came up with a better solution: that is speed reducer using 2 types of spring
inside.
ADVANTAGE
ü Smooth rewinding according to acceleration speed
ü Be unaffected by temperature ambient
ü Allow screen door to move properly without stopping on the way
ü Easy to operate to open screen door with a light touch
ü High-durability: cost-effective
TOK can provide you the most promising idea
for your application.
If you struggle to have desired motion,
please let us know, we would be more than happy to have any inquiries always.
