2.5 3D Modelling, assembly and motion simulation of the following CAM and follower.
Draw the profile of a disc cam with a radial flat faced follower which rises by a distance of
30mm during 1/4th , remains at rest for 1/4th, is lowered during 1/3rd , and remains at rest for
the remainder of a complete revolution of the cam shaft. Take; Least radius of cam is 30 mm.
Both ascent & descent takes place with UARM. During descent, deceleration period is half
the acceleration period. Cam rotates in anticlockwise direction. Assume CAM and follower
thickness of 15mm.
