Double Lever Cam Follower Simulation

Please click on the picture to view a movie of the simulation.

This simulation uses a given data file in order to run the motion program for a double lever cam follower mechanism.   

If you would like a copy of the matlab file used to create the Motion Data File please contact Mark Tisius at mtisius@yahoo.com

Instructions:

1. RoboWorks must be installed on your computer if not go to Software for instructions.
2. Click on Double Lever Cam Follower Simulation and download the RoboWorks file to your computer.  Please do not open the file from the web, but rather save it on your computer and then open it in RoboWorks.
3. Similarly, download the Data File associated with this model.  Again, do not open the file from the web, but rather save it on your computer.
4. Start RoboWorks.  Click on File in the top left of the window.  Then click on Open and select the simulation file you downloaded to your computer.
5. Click on Animate, then From File.  Select the data file you just downloaded.  A control panel will pop up.  Click on play.
6. To rotate, pan or zoom the view of the 3D model hold down the right mouse button on the RoboWorks window and select 'Interactive Mode->Rotation, Translation, or Zooming' and then move the cursor.
