Description Générale
The Geneva Stop Mechanism, "MME", designed by EDIBON, is a mechanism that transforms continuous circular motion into intermittent motion. It is a positive drive in which the driven wheel is positively moved or locked.
It is made of aluminum and consists of a rotating drive wheel and a driven wheel with six slots. The drive wheel has a pin that reaches into a slot of the driven wheel, advancing it by one step. The drive wheel also has a raised half-moon blocking disc that locks the driven wheel in position between steps.
The drive wheel and the driven wheel are mounted in two graduated discs, where the angle of both wheels can be measured.
