Abstract
Generation of space curves is rather a difficult problem and not much work is reported in the literature. Planar 4-bar mechanisms with rigid links have been investigated for plane curve generation but the methods reported are complex. In this paper a slotted link mechanism with a flexibly attached slider is proposed for space curve generation. Equation of motion for the slider mass comes out to be nonlinear but the solution, i.e. the displacement of the slider mass is expressed in a linear form so that the synthesis either by precision point approach or through the method least squares becomes extremely simple. An example problem is included.
