Week 11- Assembly Workbench

AIM: To create two assembly products with given draft dimensions of the CV joint and Quick Return Mechanism.

SOFTWARE: CATIA v5.

CV JOINT::

Constant Velocity, or CV, joints are used to connect your vehicle’s transmission to your wheels. CV joints are part of the driveshaft and are mainly used on front-wheel drive vehicles, but they are also used in rear- and four-wheel drive vehicles.

QUICK RETURN MECHANISM:

Crank and Slotted lever quick return motion mechanism. This rapid return mechanism is mostly used in shaping machines, slotting machines and rotary internal combustion engines.

WORKBENCH: PART (or) SURFACE & ASSEMBLY.

PROCEDURE:

• Draw a 2D sketch of the given draft in the part workbench of CV Joint.

• Import all the parts into the assembly workbench and perform assembly by axis and manipulation tools.

• Draw a 2D sketch of the given draft in the part workbench of Quick Return Mechanism.
• Import all the parts into the assembly workbench and perform assembly by axis and manipulation tools.

RESULT:

Created 2 assemblies according to the content covered in the course videos. Created the individual part files and then created a complete assembly of those part files in the assembly workbench. After creating the assembly make use of the drafting tools to create a 2D drawing similar to the one given in the assignment folder.
