Abstract
The classical meaning of motion design is the usage of laws of motion with convenient characteristic values. Whereas the software MOCAD supports a graphical and interactive mode of operation, among others by using an automatic polynomial interpolation. Besides a direct coupling for motion control systems, different file formats for data export are offered. The calculation of plane and spatial cam mechanisms is also based on the data, generated in the motion design module. Drawing on an example of an intermittent cam mechanism with an inside cam profile used as a new drive concept for indexing tables, the influence of motion design on the transmission properties is shown. Another example gives an insight into the calculation and export of envelope curves for cylindrical cam mechanisms. The gained geometry data can be used for generating realistic 3D-models in the CAD-system Pro/ENGINEER, using a special data exchange format.
