The parametric design model of parallel indexing cam mechanism is established.The parametric design is realized by second developing technology for Solidworks in VB.The outline coordinates
pressure angle and tool center coordinate of the cam can be calculated in term of selecting motion conditions.The curvature radius of the cam can be checked.This system can give out engineering drawing automatically
label dimension and technology terms
which improves the design efficiency evidently and gives a theoretical base of digital design and manufacture for the mechanism.The system’s program interface is friendly and convenient
so can be used for the engineering design and teaching.
