    Question 1
    A cam is to be designed for an automated part loader as shown in figure below. The
    prescribed follower motion for this application is as follow:
    1. Rise 50 mm in 1.5 s using constant velocity
    2. Return in 2 s using the cycloidal fall motion scheme
    3. Dwell for 0.75 s

    a) Calculate the time to complete full cycle and the required rotational constant
    speed of the cam.
    b) Determine the cam angle of rotation for each follower motion interval
    c) Fill the table below that tabulates follower displacement versus time and cam
    rotation. Also plot displacement versus time using the calculated data.

    For a cycloidal fall, the displacement equation is given as:


    𝒕−𝟏.𝟓 𝟏 𝟐𝜋(𝒕−𝟏.𝟓)
    𝒔 = 𝒉 [𝟏 − ( ) + 𝟐𝜋 𝒔𝒊𝒏 ( )] With: h = 50 mm, T2 = 2 s, 1.5 < t < 3.5 s

    Question 2
    A Double Dwell Cam is designed to move a follower as follow:

    1. Rise to 2.5 inches, in 40 deg, using a polynomial function


    2. Dwell for 100 deg,
    3. Fall 2.5 inches in 90 deg, using a polynomial function
    4. Dwell for the remainder.
    a) Define all intervals and boundary conditions.
    b) Design the Cam by finding the SVAJ Curves for the total cycle.
    c) Plot an approximate curve for the position ‘S’.
    The displacement polynomial function is given as:

    𝜑 𝜑 2 𝜑 3 𝜑 4
    𝑠 = 𝐶0 +𝐶1 ( ) +𝐶2 ( ) + 𝐶3 ( ) + 𝐶4 ( )
    𝛽 𝛽 𝛽 𝛽

    Question 3
    Kinematic analysis research on a cam-follower mechanism, using the two different
    polynomial cam profiles below, was conducted.
    The characteristics of the two profiles are 130 Rise, 40 Dwell, 130 Fall and 60 Dwell.
    Other parameters are: lift of follower is h=16mm, speed of the cam=650 rpm.

    a) For the two profiles 2-3 and 3-4-5, for the Rise segment only, calculate the
    maximum velocity and maximum and minimum accelerations of the follower and
    the angles at which they occur.
    b) For the two profiles 2-3 and 3-4-5, for the Rise segment only, calculate the angles
    where the acceleration is zero.
    c) Plot the velocity and acceleration curves for the two profiles for the Rise segment
    only.
    d) Do any of the two polynomials violate the fundamental law of cam design?
    Which one, and why?

    and dwell for the remainder. The total cycle must take 2 sec. Choose suitable programs
    for rise and fall to minimize velocities. Plot the SVAJ fiagrams.
