Week 10- Assembly Workbench

ASSEMBLY MODELING
Assembly modeling is the process of creating designs that consist of two or more components assembled together at their respective work positions. The components are brought together and assembled in Assembly Design workbench by applying suitable parametric assembly constraints to them. The assembly constraints allow you to restrict the degrees of freedom of components on their respective work positions. The assembly files in CATIA are called Product files. There are two methods to invoke the Assembly Design workbench of CATIA. The primary method to start a new product file is by selecting File > New from the menu bar to open the New dialog box From this dialog box select Product

CV JOINT

Constant-velocity joints (also known as homokinetic or CV joints) are Mechanical joint which allow a drive shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play.

QUICK RETURN MECHANISAM

A quick return mechanism is an apparatus to produce a reciprocating motion in which the time taken for travel in return stroke is less than in the forward stroke. It is driven by a circular motion source (typically a motor of some sort) and uses a system of links with three turning pairs and a sliding pair.
