Kinematics with CATIA

Kinematics with CATIA

Kinematics with CATIA

(OP)
Dear all,

I'm new with the kinematik workbench in Catia v5.I would like to realise two movements with the software catia.The movements are:
The rotation of the spindle and the linear movement of the machine on the plate. I attached a figure showing the
the machine.

Thank you in advance for your help

RE: Kinematics with CATIA

case 1: the Spindle moves with the Machine:

You can use 2 joints: Revolute (1 rotation DOF - Spindle/Machine) and Prismatic (1 linear DOF - Machine/Plate).

You can link them with Rack joint if you want to create a relation between the rotation and the linear movement.

case 2: the Spindle does not "move with the Machine" (no translation Spindle/Plate):

You can use Screw (2 DOF linked with pitch in mm/turn = 1 DOF - Spindle / Machine)

But you will have to put a Revolute joint between Spindle and Plate and Planar between Machine and plate.
