During lectures, the mechanisms path of motions can be shown, thus illustrating its properties. The models were designed and built under the direction of professor Volmer between 1958 and 1977.

The idea of projecting models on the wall during lectures originated from professor Volmer. In this way the models could be presented to the steadily increasing number of students simultaneously even in larger auditoriums. The widespread use of over-head projectors in the late seventies/early eighties gave these models their break.

All models of this collection are in very good condition and fully operative. The colors of the links mean the following:
  • Red - Input link
  • Blue - Floating link
  • Yellow - Output link
  • Transparent - Frame

Location of the collection: Mechanism models of the Professorship of Assembly and Handling Technology at Chemnitz University of Technology
