CAM CREATED USING GRAPH FEATURE
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0
Dr Herli Surjanhata
Use Notepad or Text Editor in Unix system to create the following file called
cam_disp.pts The point coordinates represent the cam angle – follower
displacement plot
Trang 2The extension of the file must be .pts
In Windows system, be sure to include the quotation in the filename when you save the test file – see Figure
Click - the Create new object icon to create a new part called CAM
Turn-off Use default template
box
Click OK button
Trang 3Select
mmns_part_solid
as the Units
Note that the Units for the cam will be millimeters
Click OK button
Create a thin cylinder with a hole vertical up by extruding two concentric circular sections For this protrusion use
TOP as sketching plane
RIGHT as right reference for orientation of sketching plane
See Figure below for dimensioning
Trang 4Create a DATUM GRAPH to define a dimension on a cam to produce a desired
variable offset of the follower as the cam rotates
From Insert pull-down menu, select Model Datum -> Graph
Trang 5Enter a name for the feature: camgraph
Create a coordinate system to identify the origin of the graph
Click the Create reference coordinate system icon
Pick the lower left corner of the screen
Create horizontal and vertical centerlines through the origin of the coordinate system Use - spline icon to sketch and dimension the following curve:
Trang 6Modify the overall dimension to 360 as shown above
Note that pick the spline curve as shown above
Click the spline curve, then select the Modify icon
Pick File tab
Make sure the Cartesian is selected
Select the coordinate system created in the previous step
Click the Open file icon
First point
Second point
Third point
Trang 7Open cam_disp.pts
Answer Yes when asked Do you want to continue?
Create a horizontal centerline below the coordinate system, and create a new
coordinate system at the intersection between the newly created horizontal
centerline and vertical center line Delete the old coordinate system, and dimension the vertical distance between the two centerlines 5 mm:
Click this icon to continue
Create the sweep using the graph to control section dimensions as follows:
Trang 8Insert -> Variable Section Sweep
Pick the bottom edge of the cylinder
Note: Pick the front bottom half
of the circle first, then while holding the Shift key pick the second half of the circle located
on the bottom
back
Trang 9Create a rectangle aligned on one edge
to the cross hairs, and change only the height to 8 mm See dimensioning scheme in Figure
From Tool pull down menu, select
Relations
The width of the rectangle (sd4 in the Figure) is controlled by the graph feature using the relation and call to the built-in function evalgraph Add the following relation for the width sd4 of rectangle
In the message window box, type in:
/* use evalgraph to determine dimension
sd4 = evalgraph (“camgraph”,trajpar*360)
Trang 10Click OK to accept the relation
Pick the to continue
Click the icon to finish
Note that:
Camgraph & trajpar*360 are arguments Camgraph is datum graph name, and the trajectory parameter trajpar goes from 0 to 1
Create a cut for keyway with the dimensions of 7 mm width and 4 mm height
Trang 11Create a protrusion of your name on the top surface of the cam
Pick the icon
Make sure that Place Along Curve is checked
Also replace NJIT with your name
Trang 12Finally, add the necessary rounds and chamfers
