Abstract
This presentation shows a multi-objective optimization of a cam shape in a paper feeding mechanism by integrating a multi-objective optimization tool, the modeFRONTIER and a multi-body dynamics simulation tool, the RecurDyn. In order to reduce the feeding motors' load on driving the cam, two objective functions are defined, minimizing the driving torque and leveling the torque fluctuation. As the result, we design a cam shape of which the maximum driving torque was reduced 12% less than that of the initial design and which has stable torque fluctuation.
