A Novel Approach for the CAM-Follower Mechanism of High Frequency Cutting File Machine

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, the re-design of the camfollower mechanism of an industrial cutting file machine is presented. The actual mechanical system includes a forceclosure cam mechanism, which requires an external force to keep the contact between the cam and the follower provided by a spring. This system is substituted by a new cam mechanism of the type of formclosure, which does not require external force. The formclosure camfollower mechanism, also called positive-return cam mechanism, guarantees that the cam surface is always in contact with the follower surface, and is characterized by having constantbreadth. Classical Mechanic Theory performs the study of the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the cam mechanism analyzed throughout this work. Furthermore, a commercial package software was used to create a virtual model and analyze the motion characteristics of the new cam mechanism.
