Hi,
I'm trying to work out the best linkages / cams to drive a horizontal table in a circular vertical motion (to bounce test items up and down).
It is for a package tester that will rotate at 5Hz and 25mm displacement that I've calculated will accelerate products vertically at around 1.2g so products should bounce around on the table.
I'm just trying to work out how best to drive two shafts below the table with cams on them and the linkages to create the motion, but always ensure the table is horizontal and never goes out of phase. With the circular throw of the table, it should keep pushing the items to a vertical walk at one end of the table,
