Description
Summary:Motion and power transmission mechanisms are one of the most important components of machine tools. With these mechanisms that are designed with steps or without steps, speeds required for optimum processing in machine tools can be obtained. In this study, a computer program based on Visual BASIC programming language has been developed for computer aided kinematical design of ruppert mechanism which can be adapted for machine tools. With this program, distribution according to geometrical series of spindle speeds between minimum and maximum speeds in the system, number of teeth for gears that construct the mechanism, general and partial transmission rate, and standard output spindle speeds can be determined in tolerance limits by inputting required parameters belonging to ruppert mechanism. The principle aim of this study is to provide speed, flexibility and simplicity in design stages requiring hard and tiring work.
