Abstract
In industrial automation, there is always increasing demand of generating desired motion with accuracy and precision. It is possible when the mechanism generates motion for large number of precision points. Therefore, in present work, the dimensional synthesis of a 6-bar, Watt-I mechanism has been carried for twenty coupler positions. The single degree of freedom mechanism has revolute pairs at each of its joint and is able to generate required motion. All the links of the mechanism are made of metal. The dyad-triad design equations are formed in terms of complex number algebra. To solve these equations, a MATLAB code is generated and utilized to yield the dimensional parameters i.e. lengths and angular orientations of all links of the mechanism. The complete synthesis methodology is modeled and demonstrated on a numerical problem. To verify the outcomes, SAM 7.0 application software has been incorporated and applied on the given example.
