Quick-Return Mechanism Model (Shaper) with Motion Analysis
Approx. component budget: Rs. 5,000 - 9,000
Objective
Measure the time ratio and ram speed of the mechanism and compare them with the kinematic analysis.
What you will build
A crank and slotted-lever quick-return mechanism with a sliding ram, a motor with reduction, and position and current sensing, built like a shaper machine.
Results you can expect
- Ram displacement and velocity vs crank angle
- Quick-return ratio
- Motor current during the cutting and return strokes
What you will learn
Mechanism kinematics, velocity and acceleration analysis, and how a shaper works.
Tools and notes
Arduino + potentiometer or encoder, current sensor, free mechanism software, Excel. Keep fingers away from the moving ram.
Resume points from this project
- Built and tested Quick-Return Mechanism Model (Shaper) with Motion Analysis; objective: measure the time ratio and ram speed of the mechanism and compare them with the kinematic analysis.
- Measured and analysed ram displacement and velocity vs crank angle and quick-return ratio; wrote the report and presented the results in a viva. Add your own numbers: [x].
Replace [x] with your own measured results. Write only what you really did.
