The Parametric Design Method of the Globoid Cam Based on the Software of ProEngineer

Abstract:

Cam mechanisms are widely used in automated machines. Globoid cam has received widespread attention for its eminent kinematics and dynamic performance in research and application. As a commonly used cam mechanism in industry, especially in the field of industrial robots, Globoid Cam has the advantages of being highly efficient, highly accurate and relatively cheap. This study used ProEngineer to create a 3D model of the Globoid Cam mechanism. This paper describes the steps used to create a 3D model of the Globoid Cam, and the basic principles behind the parametric 3D modeling method.
