Analysis of Graphical Approach for Cam Profile Determination
Abstract
A novel approach based on graphical approach of cam
profile determination is put forth in this study. The objective of the study is
to have a high accuracy independent platform from CAD systems and to eliminate
determination parameters of planar cams like derivatives, pressure angle and
curvature. A brief description of graphical method is represented. Equations
and algorithms of the proposed approach for flat face and roller translating
follower mechanisms are provided. Results are compared with results of the
conventional analytical approach and graphical CAD systems which indicated that
the approach provides precisely correct results.
