Abstract

This study presents the design, build, and evaluation of a laboratory cam profile measuring machine tailored to demonstrate the mechanical principles and applications of various cam shapes. Utilizing a diverse set of cam profiles, the machine effectively converts rotational motion into measurable linear motion, achieving a range of motion profiles, including rising, declining, steady, and instantaneous actions. Key components of the machine include an angle gauge for precise rotational measurements and a linear dial indicator for accurately gauging the cam-induced displacement. This setup facilitates the measuring of displacement, and computation of velocity and acceleration for each cam shape, offering a dynamic visual and numerical aid for engineering and design.
