Introduction to electronic cam
Mike WoelfelIntroduces the reader to the concepts and benefits of electronic cam capability in electronic motion control systems. General mechanical cam operation is discussed and the concept…
How are we doing in mechatronics?
Jack HollingumMechatronics received close attention in October 1998, first at a day conference organized by the IEE looking at the Japanese experience, and then at a lecture on intelligent…
Cam technology for assembly automation
Joseph R. FarkasOutlines the history of the development of mechanical cam controlled machinery and provides numerous examples of applications to which mechanical cams are ideally suited…
Electronic camming and gearing
Jan van GerwenMachine builders often use mechanical solutions to translate a rotation motion into linear motion, and to synchronize several axes with one another, or with other moving parts…
Smart cam application to robot control
Hiroshi MakinoSmart cam or electronic cam is a combination of a computer program for motion definition and a high‐performance servo mechanism. By using this, one can obtain a high‐speed…
Method for automatic tool selection for disassembly planning
Benjamin O’Shea, Hartmut Kaebernick, S.S. Grewal, H. Perlewitz, K. Müller, G. SeligerA method for the automatic selection of tools in a disassembly or assembly environment is described. The method uses a cluster graph to represent the product in a fashion suitable…
Machine vision and intelligence incorporating motion control
Ronald Brian Jennings, Glen BrightManufacturers faced with small production runs often require multiple machine changeovers per shift. Vision control of machinery offers a cost‐effective solution to this problem…
