Cam Profile

This is a code which plots the cam profile for knife edge follower as per the user defined motion

You are now following this Submission

Problem –
Base circle – 50 mm, Height of the cam follower – 50mm.
SHM – 0 to 180 Degrees.
Dwell – 180 to 270 Degrees.
Uniform velocity – 270 to 360 Degrees.
How to execute in MATLAB
Output –
Enter the Base circle radius of the cam in mm 50
Enter the Height follower is needed to move in mm 50
Enter the number of motions follower as to complete in one cycle 3
Enter the Angle till where 1 Motion is followed
Enter the Angle 180
Options for different follower motions are
1.SHM
2.DWELL
3.UV
Enter the type of 1 Motion is followed
Enter the type of motion the knife edge should follow 1
Enter the Angle till where 2 Motion is followed
Enter the Angle 270
Options for different follower motions are
1.SHM
2.DWELL
3.UV
Enter the type of 2 Motion is followed
Enter the type of motion the knife edge should follow 2
Enter the Angle till where 3 Motion is followed
Enter the Angle 360
Options for different follower motions are
1.SHM
2.DWELL
3.UV
Enter the type of 3 Motion is followed
Enter the type of motion the knife edge should follow 3
