Week 11- Assembly Workbench

ASSEMBLY WORKBENCH

Quick Return Mechanism:

A quick return mechanism is a mechanism to create reciprocating motion in which the time taken for travel in return stroke is less than its forward stroke. It driven by a circular motion source and uses a system of links with 3 turning pairs and a sliding pair. The quick return mechanism converts circular motion into reciprocating motion. It is mainly used in slot machines, shaping, planning.

CV Joint Assembly:

The CV joint is known as the Constant Velocity Joint. which is found at end of the drive shaft. They are essential to connecting the drive shafts to the transmission and wheels. Because of their function and location, these joints easily wear out over time. They can even break.

Procedure:

1) To draw quick draw assembly firstly draw all parts separately.

2) Then import those parts in the assembly workbench.

3) Draw reference elements to those parts and publish them for ease.

4) Then use proper constraints and constrain them in as required.

5) To check assembly is correct or not, use manipulation commands to check movements.
