Matlab GUI for SVAJ Cam Analysis Diagrams

摘要

An alternative faster method for cam mechanism displacement parameters analysis based on image processing and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is proposed. The method is developed in Matlab and consists of a Graphical User Interface that displays the cam-follower position, velocity, acceleration and jerk diagrams (svaj) versus the angle of rotation of the cam. These diagrams are generated for four types of cams based on a preliminary elevation curves of the cam-follower obtained with help of GL 112 cam analysis apparatus. The method reduces the time for calculating the parameters and the results can be compared with the ones from analytical method. The image processing algorithm considered is based on a set of images taken with a HD camera of the investigated cams. These images are further processed in order to train an ANN which it finally conducts to automatically identifying the cams.
