Abstract

The effort of this paper is to develop a methodology of computer aided design and manufacture of spatial cams. The integrated CAD/CAM systems for spatial cams are developed to enable manufacturer to design and machine them readily. The contour of spatial cams can be obtained by applying envelope theory to the cam/follower motion. The mathematical cam contour is evaluated at some increment to generate the numerical data for the CNC programming. Incremental generation of points along a cam contour can be accomplished in consideration with the specified tolerance. The computerized procedure is described in detail with accompanying examples.

본 연구에서는 여러가지 입체 캠 기구에 대하여 기구학적인 구성조건과 캠 곡선을 바탕으로 매개변수형태의 포락면이론에 의하여 캠 형상을 구하고, 이를 직접 가공할 수 있는 NC 파트프로그램을 얻는 CAD/CAM 소프트웨어를 구성하여 정밀성, 생산성, 효율성 등을 증진하고자 한다.
