Flexible output motion can be generated by using adjustable mechanisms with the same set of hardware with one or more parameters made adjustable. The ability of planar six bar mechanism to generate various kinds of motion can be greatly enhanced if it is made adjustable. In this paper, desired function is generated by adjusting the coupler length of a six bar mechanism. The adjustment is achieved by dividing the six bar mechanism into two phases. The present work attempts to develop a procedure to compute the precision points using Chebychev spacing and then utilize them in obtaining the dimensions of the desired mechanism from Freudenstein methods.
