3249 Trial Production of a Pantograph Mechanism with a Constant-Orientation : Output Link made from an Injection-Molding Machine

Abstract

This research concerns the static orientation error of an output link from the pantograph mechanism after designing a mold for the mechanism, and subsequent trial production. In order to manufacture an injection-molding pantograph mechanism with an output link possessing consistent orientation and lower-acting forces at the hinges, three parallelograms are contained in the pantograph mechanism and each link has optimal mass distribution.
