Abstract

The non-oriented and oriented linear graph techniques are used for the kinematic analysis of bevel-gear trains. In this paper, these two techniques are compared and the weaknesses of each technique are shown. In order to overcome the weaknesses of these techniques a new graphical technique called Tsai–Tokad (T–T) graph is introduced incorporating the important feature of the non-oriented graph which helps to determine the transfer vertex and the oriented graph technique. The theory is demonstrated by the kinematic analysis of articulated robotic mechanism used by Cincinnati Milacron T3
