HMI Door
Door Assembly
Door Design Spring to hold door shut: Actuator: Lubricants: SPEC T051-360-406R 1.5 in-lb closed 2.9 in-lb opened Actuator: Made by CDA Intercorp Torque: 6 lb-in (50:1 gearhead, 100 pps) 12 steps per motor revolution 600 steps per worm revolution 11,333 steps to open door (113 seconds @ 100 pps) Lubricants: Actuator Gearhead: Braycote 600 Worm & Wheel: Pennzane Grease
Door Operation One motor is normally used to open/close the door. Nothing prevents both motors from being used at once. Each motor operates independently from the other. Motor runs until either: a) Limit switch is activated b) Programmed maximum number of steps have been sent Drive electronics stores the number of steps required to open or close the door. There are override commands in case a limit switch fails closed. Door can function with either a failed-open, or failed-closed limit switch. Door may be opened to less than the nominal 170 degrees.
