Configuring bend tables of a CAD sheet metal module
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 26.10.2009
A simple but working methodology about configuring the bend tables of a CAD sheet metal module is described in this article. The CAD user with a simple and workable method can accomplish correspondence between the CAD software and a CNC bending press. |
Non-standard metric screw thread geometry calculation
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 31.7.2008
Numerous applications require non-standard metric screw threads. Although non-standard screw threads should be avoided, when there is lack of an appropriate thread size many manufacturers (optical instruments, small size precision parts) use them. This article describes how to calculate such screw threads. |
Working with projection views
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 15.2.2008 - 1 comments
The standard way to create an illusion of a 3-D image is to use the default drawing profiles or projection views. This article describes how to make these drawing profiles when your CAD program do not provide a preset function of projection views.

Gear –Lever Mechanism
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 7.6.2007 - 1 comments
The Gear- Lever Mechanism is a simple kinematical transducer. It converts the oscillation of the input lever to various oscillations of the output lever. It is named gear – lever because combines gear and lever motion.

Simplified cardan-gear mechanism
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 7.6.2007 - 1 comments
Cardan-gear mechanisms are expensive due to their internal gears. Because this cardan-gear mechanism uses only spur gear it is very simple in manufacturing and less expensive.

Forcing split clamping elements
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 7.6.2007
The split clamping elements are using the pushing or pulling action of screws in order to clamp a part. The correct application of the screw force affects the efficiency of screw force during clamping.

Using tension spring as a guiding element
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 7.6.2007
A tension spring except its use as an energy reserve element (power saver) can be useful in several applications due to its flexure capabilities. Such application is a flexible guiding element.

Plain washers, standard and custom
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 7.6.2007
Plain washers are a basic machine component for almost any mechanical machinery. Although the plain washers exist in a huge variety, they must be customized in many applications.

Guiding lines for part modelling
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 7.6.2007
The CAD software has changed the way components are designed in the last five years, but definitely one of the objectives for every designer is the design efficiency. Simple guide lines can save a lot of time in the designing and redesigning procedure. Read this article and learn how.
