Abstract:Used the globoid indexing cam replace hydraulic motor and disc spring to control machine turntable. Determined the parameters of two levels of driving gear, and figured out resisting moment computation formula. Used Pro/E to build models and assemble, added the corresponding constraints during in Adams importing, then made a kinematics simulation. The results showed that turntable, under the globoid indexing cam controlled, can make the transmission and position integration, and the positioning error under the bounds of allowed. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of using globoid indexing cam to replace hydraulic motor control turntable, provide theoretical basis for the improvement of existing equipment.
