Solid Modeling and Numerical Control Machining of Sine Groove Cone Cam Based on MasterCAM

Contour surface construction of conical cam mechanism with swinging conical roller follower;

Parameterized modeling for entity of conical cam with oscillating follower;

Only let the cone angle of the foller λ= 0°, then the equations and formulas in this paper can also be used to design the conical cam with translating cylindrical roller follower.

On applying the theory of differential geometry, the research shows the procedure for determining the required cutter path for cutting conical cam profile using a NC milling machine based on the analytical profile expression of conical cam with oscillation conical roller follower or with a translating conical roller follow.

On applying the theory of differential geometry,the research presented in this paper shows the procedure of determining the required cutter path for cutting conical cam profile by using a NC milling machine based on the analytical profile expression of conical cam with oscillation conical roller follower established in 3D space.

The conical cam mechanism with translating conical roller follower was analyzed and studied by the use of theoretical analysis on envelopes of curved surface family with single parameter, and the mathematical expression of conical cam profile was derived.
