Integrated design of cam mechanisms and servo-control systems

摘要

Traditionally, in a cam mechanism, the cam is driven by anactuator at a constant speed. The motion characteristics of thefollower are determined once the cam profile is designed. This paperPresents a novel theory named "integrated design of cam mechanismsand servo-control systems" Whose basic idea is varying the inputspeed trajectory of the cam be a microcomputer-controlled servo- Motor to improve kinematic and dynamic characteristics of thefollower system.
