i need to design a radial cam with oscillatiing follower . the follower should rise with an angular deflction of 120 degrees how should i go about this in solidworks 2010 cam toolbox... my second question is..will the drawing i make in solidworks be enough to give to the manufacturer to fabricate this cam?...
i know how to make a cam on solidworks toolbox...but i just want to know what parameters does a manufacturer require in order to fabricate the cam for me ....also...one thing is troubling me...what value of base circle radius should i take???is there some sort of table which can help me...
i have used two methods to make cam in solidworks.one using camtrax and the second utilising the toolbox addon in solidworks.but i am having problem dimensioning it because it want to send this drawing to the manufacturer for fabrication. i have attached files for both methods.please help. for the file(dimennsion1)...cam made using camtrax..PROBLEM: how to convert the selected entities into arcs so that I can dimension the arcs similar to what I have done to two arcs as show in the pictures…having dimensioned arcs makes it easy for the manufacturer to come up with a realistic model.have no prolems with the rest of the two views second is the camtoolbox cam..having problems dimensioning the arcs...but it dimensions for me the horizontal and vertical ordinates.
