Difference between Design 1 and Design 2.
... in Design 2, we do not know the motion of the Sliding-Part - we MUST measure its motion. That is it! The design make sure that the motion of the sliding-Part is complex. The motion 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 overcome the complexities so that you can export the cam to SolidWorks. |
Design 2:
Slot Cam : Rocker Motion that is a function of complex Slider Motion

How to build this model: Summary 1.Add a Gear-Pair - one Gear orbits inside a stationary Gear, and the orbiting Gear orbits one time in one 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 horizontally along the Base-Part •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 Follower-Roller with a Profile to the Rocker 6.Add a 2D-Cam - select the Base-Part and the Profile in the Rocker as the Follower Roller. |
