The key difference between Design 1 and Design 2: ... we do not know the motion of the Sliding-Part - we MUST measure its motion. That is it! The motion of the Sliding-Part is designed to be complex. It is a function of many parameters. Because the motion of the Sliding-Part is complex, the Slot Cam has complexities also. SolidWorks cannot import the Cam-Coordinates to create the Curve feature. We explain how to compensate for the complexities. |

How to assemble this model: Summary 1.Add a Gear-Pair so that one Gear orbits insides a stationary Gear, and the orbiting Gear orbits one time per machine cycle 2.Add a Dyad: •Join Part 1 of the Dyad to the orbiting Gear with a Pin-Joint •Join Part 2 of the Dyad as a Sliding-Part, to slide along the Base-Part horizontally •Join Part 1 to Part 2 with a Pin-Joint. 3.Add a Rocker to the Sliding-Part 4.Design and add a motion to rotate the Rocker 5.Add a Cam-Follower Roller with Profile to the Rocker 6.Add a 2D-Cam - select the Base-Part and the Roller Profile in the Rocker. |
