Abstract: A general, systematic procedure for the synthesis and analysis of cams is presented. The method accounts for the nonrigid behavior of the follower system and can be readily implemented as a ...

Abstract: The application of spline functions to the general synthesis of cam motion programs is presented. The approach provides a single, systematic, easily automated method of accommodating discrete ...

Abstract: A procedure employing rational B-spline functions for the synthesis of cam-follower motion programs is presented. It differs from earlier techniques that employ spline functions by using rational ...

Abstract: A roller gear cam. reducer, composed of a turret with rollers and a globoidal cam, is often used to provide high positioning precision at low cost. In this study, a simple procedure is given ...

Abstract: A simple, yet useful algorithm is developed to generate tool paths with global interference checking for five-axis point milling of turbomachinery components. Based on the projected distance ...

Abstract: Referring to machining technologies used for turbomachinery components, generally there are two cutting strategies: point cutting and flank cutting. Based on considerations of the cost, efficiency, ...
