Abstract A PLC controlled semi-automatic rotary indexing system for assembly of foot valve is modelled and simulated using CATIA Automation Studio. It comprised part feeders (Conveyors vibratory bowl feeder), face plate, fixtures, components (Body, cap, seal carrier, cover) electro-pneumatic (Electro-pneumatic pick & place press) which are CATIA. The kinematic model mechanism successfully v...

During product development, design engineers often have the freedom to modify a number of parameters. However, any design modification requires validation to ensure the satisfaction of requirements for all load cases. With Abaqus for CATIA V5 (AFC), nonlinear finite element technology is made available within the CATIA environment, allowing design engineers to efficiently incorporate accurate s...

Several different CAD systems are in use at CERN today. Most of the 3D design work for the LHC is being done using Euclid from MDTVision. For 2D design work AutoCAD is widely used. Also, various special design tools exist for tasks such as electrical design and schematics. Even though the LHC design will be finished with Euclid, it has been clear since several years that a new 3D CAD system wil...

The pedal mechanism of the sewing machine was measured and its structural data were obtained. essence motion a crank rocker mechanism, characteristics analyzed; After mapping components in CATIA software, adding constraints assembling, parametric model is formed, which lays foundation provides reference for simulation dynamic characteristic analysis hinge four-bar mechanism.
