Abstract: A simple procedure, that can be used to determine the complicated camoid profile with an oscillating spherical follower and to decide the cutter path with the predictable surface roughness, is ...

Abstract: A simple, yet useful approach to the geometry design and machining of globoidal index cams and roller-follower turrets is developed. From the machining point of view of the globoidal cam by ...

Abstract: A new, simple procedure employing the theory of envelope for a family of surfaces with two independent parameters to determine the profiles of camoids with translating spherical followers is ...

Abstract: A systematic development for the theory of envelopes with proof is presented. It offers a simple and general procedure to determine the planar and spatial cam profiles. Based on the theory, ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a tool to synthesize the motion functions of the camoid-follower mechanisms. The characteristics of these kinds of motion functions are that they possess two independent ...

Abstract: Flank cutting can be effectively employed to machine ruled surfaces instead of traditional point cutting. In consideration of reducing discrepancies between designed and machined twisted ruled ...

Abstract: A procedure that can be used to inspect planar cam contours and to evaluate their follower displacement, velocity, and acceleration curves with a higher degree of accuracy, without the aid of ...

Abstract: A computing procedure that can be used to generate follower motions with a higher degree of accuracy by using their digitized 2-D cam surfaces is presented. Based on the geometric relationships ...

Abstract: A technique for designing torque balancing cam (TBC) systems that are composed of spring-loaded planar cams with translating followers for globoidal cam indexing mechanisms (GCIMs) has been ...
