This Step Adds the Stationary 2D-Cam to Control the movement of the P&P Tool.
This 2D-Cam does not control the P&P Tool.
We add a new Part and a Gear-Pair to control the Motion of the P&P Tool.
Note: since we wrote this tutorial, we have introduced the Add Gear-Pair command.
|

|
STEP 1: | Select the P&P Turret and start the Part-Editor. |
Step 1 is Complete
|

|
STEP 2: | Add s to give the centre for the Cam-Follower |
Step 2 is complete
Add some Lines and dimension.
STEP 3: | Close the Part-Editor |
|

|
STEP 5: | Add a Pin-Joint between the new Part and the Point in the new sketch. |
Step 5 is complete
The Part for the Cam-Follower Roller. The motion of the Cam-Follower is 'equal' to the tool, but 5 times less in amplitude.
|

|
STEP 6: | Add a Motion-Dimension FB to the New Part to specify its angle relative to a Line |
STEP 7: | Add a Gearing FB. Double-click it and edit the Gear Ratio to -0.2. |
STEP 8: | Connect the output from the Motion-Dimension FB that defines the motion for the Tool to the Gearing FB |
STEP 9: | Connect the output from the Gearing FB to the Motion-Dimension FB that now controls the Cam-Follower |
Step 9 is complete
The New Part will now rotate with the P&P Tool but only with 5 times less than the rotation amplitude.
|

|
STEP 10: | Edit the New Part |
STEP 11: | Add a Circle to give the shape for a Cam-Follower |
STEP 12: | Close the Part-Editor |
Step 12 is complete
|

|
STEP 13: | Add a Profile with the new Circle |
Step 13 is complete
|

|
STEP 14: | Add a 2D-Cam to the Base-Part and the new Profile |
Step 14 is complete
The image to the left shows the new 2D-Cam.
