Motion studies; Hands - On Exercises


Use the base assembly to develop relationships required for building a mechanism that
contains links, joints, which attach to fixed bases. The base will be selected to add a
grounded pivot point.

Figure 1-Relationships

The bases will be adjusted to various positions and relationships to practice the
formation of different combinations of linkages to perform minimum and maximum
reach, of attached components.

Download Exercise Folder

Select the folder that contains assemblies and components that will be used to build an
assembly for each example.
Motion Exercise 1-Link collision and min, max travel
Open the assembly entitled ArmArticulation.asm to perform motion analysis of the
mechanism.

Figure 2-Motion Navigation

Objective: use the motion environment to find missing minimum and maximum travel
between linkages that form a working envelope.

Figure 5-Collision Detection

Interference allows the target


parts to be selected so that
collisions between parts can be
detected using the Find Now

Motion Exercise 2-Slot Pathway


The slotted arm can be used for the determination a link that can be designed to attach
to the pathway of the cavity.

Design
Missing
Arm

Objective: use the grounded bases to develop a link that rides along the path of the
slotted arm. Once the new link is created find the maximum and
minimum travel of the system. Create in place the new missing Arm
and a pin that rides the slot.

Motion Exercise 3-Cam Follower


Use the cam follower to develop cam relationship to the elliptical Cam

Objective: create a Cam relationship that will permit a roller to follow the perimeter of
the element.

Exercise 4-Cam follower & slotted link


Use the base parts to create the motion required for the cam and slotted arm

Objective: create a Cam relationship that will permit a roller to follow the perimeter of
the element. Develop a part that will guide for the link that will maintain parallel
orientation to the base.
When work has been completed save the AVI movie for each of the mechanisms so
they can be reviewed. Do not email them.
