ME 337 Homework4-planar linkage Due in class on OCT.9,2014 CID: NAME: PROBLEM 1: In converting X-ray film from the raw material to a finished product,a multi-loop mechanism was designed to transport the film from the sheeting operation,to the stenciling operation,to a conveyor belt. The linkage shown in figl-a must pick up the film from beneath the stenciling and sheeting devices with a vertical or nearly vertical motion to prevent sliding between the film and mechanism.The mechanism follows a horizontal path (with no appreciable rotation)slightly above the stenciling and sheeting devices while transporting the film from pickup to delivery. A novel mechanism shown as figl-b)was synthesized with the attention to accomplish the same function as the above one. Path Tracer Points. Path Tracer Point Input Crank Film Carrier Input Moves in Crank Curvilinear Translation (No Rotation) 汤 Fig.1-a) fig.1-b) a)Draw the unscaled kinematic diagrams of both linkages. b)Verify the degrees of freedom of both mechanisms. c)What type of six-bar is shown in Fig.1-b? solution:

The linkage shown in fig1-a must pick up the film from beneath the stenciling and sheeting devices with a vertical or nearly vertical motion to prevent sliding between the film and mechanism. The mechanism follows a horizontal path (with no appreciable rotation) slightly above the stenciling and sheeting devices while transporting the film from pickup to delivery.
