ELECTRONIC CAMS IN SERIAL AND PARALLEL COMBINATION WITH CONVENTIONAL MECHANISMS IN THE DRIVES OF MECHANISM WORKING LINKS

摘要

One of the possibilities in investigating the particular problems of the drives of mechanism working links with defined technological motion function (law of motion) is implementing the working motion by a cam mechanism with conventional or electronic cam. In its main part, the contribution namely depicts the application of electronic cams when designing a drive of mechanism working links of processing machinery with non-periodic or stepping motion function, and in addition to, it is involved in the parallel configuration of the kinematic chain with the use of a gear-box with centric input and output as a differential with two inputs. This method of driving the mechanism working links by a mechatronic differential driving system, namely for processing and handling machines, thus, it consists of two input defined motion functions which give the resulting required working motion by its superposition.
