Motion Simulation

If you have a more complex mechanism that includes 4-bar linkages, actuators, motor, gears, cams, sprockets, belts, etc., we can use your assembled parts to create a dynamic simulation. This is a great way to better understand the characteristics of your mechanism. Use it to check for interferences, see how the parts move in relation to each other, or to make sure the parts are in the proper location and orientation you were expecting. Another great way for small businesses to provide a video presentation for their customers. Click the links below to see some examples of Motion Simulation.

 

OSCILLATING MARQUEE WITH REDUCTION GEARBOX

 

motion simulation picture 1

EXAMPLE 1

Shows all the gears and links moving together to rotate the marquee sign back and forth. The mechanism automatically pulls the lever of the counter, keeping track of the total number of cycles the marquee has operated.

motion simulation picture 2

EXAMPLE 2

Same as Example 1, except viewed from a top perspective.

motion simulation picture 3

EXAMPLE 3

Starts with an all solid isometric view, then transitions to transparent isometric view, transparent top view, and close up of counter mechanism.

 

motion simulation picture 4

EXAMPLE 4

Same as Example 3, except graphic effects added to the beginning and end.
