Kinematic synthesis
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Kinematic synthesis determines the configuration and size of the elements of a mechanical system that shape the flow of power through the system.[1] In this context, a mechanical system or machine is considered to be a device that transforms a power source into a desired application of forces and movement. And kinematic synthesis is the collection of techniques for designing the mechanical device to achieve desired output forces and movement for a given input.
Applications of kinematic synthesis include determining:
- the shape of a cam and follower to achieve a desired output movement coordinated with a specified input movement;[2]
- the shape of gear teeth to ensure a desired coordination of input and output movement;[3]
- the configuration of a system of gears, belts, and cable drives to perform a desired power transmission;
- the topology and dimensions of an articulated system, or linkage, to achieve a specified task;[4]
- the size and shape of fixturing systems to provide precision in part manufacture and component assembly;[5]
- the size and shape of links in an articulated system such as a robot to move parts or apply forces in a specified workspace;[6]
- the mechanical configuration of end-effectors, or grippers, for robotic systems.[7]
