  • ICES2008-1675 ADDRESSING Cam WEAR AND Follower JUMP IN SINGLE-DWELL Cam-Follower SYSTEMS WITH AN ADJUSTABLE MODIFIED TRAPEZOIDAL ACCELERATION Cam PROFILE
    2020
    Co-Authors: Forrest W Flocker
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Presented is a modified trapezoidal Cam profile with adjustable forward and backward acceleration. The profile is suitable for single-dwell Cam and Follower applications. The main benefit of the profile is that it allows Cam designers to choose easily a value for the maximum forward or maximum backward acceleration to achieve design objectives. An additional benefit of the profile is that it has a continuous jerk curve. Follower acceleration is one of the primary factors affecting Cam wear and Follower jump, two main concerns of Cam designers. Large forward acceleration against a load creates Cam-Follower interface forces that can cause excessive wear. Backward acceleration tends to reduce the Cam-Follower interface force, and if the backward acceleration is sufficiently large, separation between the Cam and Follower ("Follower jump") can occur. The Cam profile presented in this paper gives Cam designers an easy way to adjust the maximum forward or backward acceleration to prevent these problems

  • a versatile Cam profile for controlling interface force in multiple dwell Cam Follower systems
    Journal of Mechanical Design, 2012
    Co-Authors: Forrest W Flocker
    Abstract:

    Cam Follower systems are widely used in manufacturing because of their precise motion and ability to easily dwell. The Cam typically drives a Follower in some precise motion needed to accomplish a manufacturing task. Presented in this paper is a closed-form modified trapezoidal Cam motion function with adjustable positive and negative acceleration. The profile is suitable for multiple-dwell Cam and Follower applications. The profile is particularly applicable to high-speed Cams in which the Follower acceleration is a primary design objective. The main benefit of the profile is that it allows Cam designers to easily set limits on the positive and negative acceleration to achieve design objectives. Additional benefits are that the cycle jerk is continuous and that the Cam designer can control the maximum magnitude of jerk. The motion program is presented in closed-form for easy implementation in standard equation-solver or spreadsheet software. Dynamic and harmonic analyses are presented to illustrate the benefits of the profile.

  • Development of an Implantable Intrathecal Drug Infusion Pump
    The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2004
    Co-Authors: S. Hong, Y.p. Ko, J W Park, J Choi, J.k. Park, Y.h. Jo
    Abstract:

    An intrathecal drug infusion system has been designed, manufactured and tested. The system is composed of a drug reservoir and a pump/controller assembly. The drug reservoir made of SUS316L is a negative pressure gas chamber enclosing a bellows type drug chamber. The pump/controller assembly includes a bacterial filter, a controller circuit board, a battery and a micropump, and is connected to a catheter for intrathecal infusion. The micropump implements a peristaltic pumping of the drug by a sequential motion of three pairs of Cam and Cam-Follower. In vitro performance tests were conducted with prototypes.

  • A Computational Approach for Cam Size Optimization of Disc Cam-Follower Mechanisms With Translating Roller Followers
    Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Paulo Flores
    Abstract:

    The main objective of this work is to present a computational approach for design optimization of disc Cam mechanisms with eccentric translating roller Followers. For this purpose, the objective function defined here takes into account the three major parameters that influence the final Cam size, namely the base circle radius of the Cam, the radius of the roller and the offset of the Follower. Furthermore, geometric constraints related to the maximum pressure angle and minimum radius of curvature are included to ensure good working conditions of the system. Finally, an application example is presented and used to discuss the main assumptions and procedure adopted throughout this work.

  • Application of the nonsmooth dynamics approach to model and analysis of the contact-impact events in Cam-Follower systems
    Nonlinear Dynamics, 2012
    Co-Authors: Paulo Flores, Remco Leine, Christoph Glocker
    Abstract:

    The dynamic modeling and analysis of planar rigid multibody systems that experience contact-impact events is presented and discussed throughout this work. The methodology is based on the nonsmooth dynamics approach, in which the interaction of the colliding bodies is modeled with multiple frictional unilateral constraints. Rigid multibody systems are stated as an equality of measures, which are formulated at the velocity-impulse level. The equations of motion are complemented with constitutive laws for the forces and impulses in the normal and tangential directions. In this work, the unilateral constraints are described by a set-valued force law of the type of Signorini’s condition, while the frictional contacts are characterized by a set-valued force law of the type of Coulomb’s law for dry friction. The resulting contact-impact problem is formulated and solved as an augmented Lagrangian approach, which is embedded in the Moreau time-stepping method. The effectiveness of the methodologies presented in this work is demonstrated throughout the dynamic simulation of a Cam-Follower system of an industrial cutting file machine.
