Structure of mechanism |
Function |
The mechanism contains an inverted slider crank connected in parallel with a slider crank. The kinematic chain RRT´s joints are connected with the crank and coupler of the slider crank. By means of changing the geometrical lengths of the mechanism´s links, the coupler point M describes a range of coupler curves. |
