Week 10- Assembly Workbench

ASSEMBLY WORKBENCH

To create assemblies of the Quick return mechanism and CV joint and to also create a 2D drawing of the given assemblies in CATIA V5.

QUICK RETURN MECHANISM:

A quick return mechanism is an apparatus to produce a reciprocating motion in which the time taken for travel in the 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. A quick return mechanism is a subclass of a slider crank linkage, with an offset crank.

Quick return is a common feature of MACHINERY equipment in which the action is performed in only one direction of the stroke, such as shapers and powered saws because it allows less time to be spent on returning the tool to its initial position.

Initially Create an all-sketch by using positioned sketch command. Ensure that all the sketches are iso-constrained

CV JOINT

Create a new product and insert all the above separate PART FILE by using the existing component command.

Create a reference element for all parts.

Add Reference elements like axis, and points wherever we need

Use the publication tool to make all the necessary elements like planes, points, and axis to make visible.

Make the reference part fixed.

Now using Constrain, Offset tools assemble each part to one another.

COMPLETED :

• The part components and their respective assemblies were created.
• The 2D drawings of the components were created.
• Necessary files and images were attached.
