Develop a drag link mechanism by using MAKIT Kit.


Select the link dimensions in such a way that the cutting stroke time must be more than return
stroke.
Create a model determine velocity of cutting tool by ADAMS.

Calculation :
n=6
j1 = 7
j2 = 0

Formula :
F = 3(n-1)-2j1-j2

where,
n = number of links,
j1 = number of lower pair joints,
j2 = number of higher pair joints

Now,
F = 3(6-1) - (2*7) – 0
F = 15 – 14
F=1

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS :


The ADAMS simulation of the developed drag link mechanism using MAKIT Kit components
confirms that the cutting stroke time is longer than the return stroke, as required. Velocity analysis
shows a steady speed during the cutting stroke and an increased velocity during the return stroke.
These results indicate that the mechanism effectively achieves the desired motion characteristics,
making it suitable for applications like shaper machines where controlled cutting is essential. The
simulation validates the design and demonstrates the utility of ADAMS in optimizing and
analyzing mechanical systems.
PROBLEM STATEMENT (PART B) :
Create a mechanism for lifting a platform by using MAKIT Kit.

KINEMATIC DIAGRAM OF LIFFTING A PLATFORM :

Figure 8 : Kinematic Diagram of Lifting Mechanism


MOBILITY:
𝐹 = 3(𝑛 − 1) − 2𝑗1 − 𝑗2

n=Number of parts

𝑗1 =Number of Lower Pairs

𝑗2 =Number of Higher pairs

𝐹 = 3(6 − 1) − (2 ∗ 7) − 0

𝐹 =15-14

𝐹 =1

Therefore Degree of freedom=1

A lifting platform operates using a kinematic approach by converting rotational motion into linear
motion to elevate or lower loads. Typically, this involves a mechanism like a scissor lift, where
linked, folding supports driven by actuators or hydraulic pistons expand and contract. As the
actuator extends, it pushes the arms apart, raising the platform; conversely, retracting the actuator
pulls the arms together, lowering the platform. This setup ensures smooth, controlled vertical
movement, leveraging the principles of mechanical advantage and precise movement control
inherent in kinematic design.
