Tilting Objects: Learn How to Tilt an Object for Portable Device Design

Click For Summary
Designing a portable device that requires tilting an object involves determining the necessary degrees of freedom for movement. Users suggest exploring motion platforms, with some recommending six-axis systems for complex tilting and rotation. It's important to assess whether all six axes are necessary or if fewer degrees of freedom would suffice for the intended functionality. Understanding the specific movement requirements will guide the design process effectively. Researching existing examples and theories on motion mechanisms can provide valuable insights for implementation.

Hi all,
Im designing a portable device and a part of that device would need to "tilt" a object.
For example if I were to put a rod into a cylinder, the cylinder would need to move at tilted angle to have the rod face another direction. Like back and forward, side to side, or even make it rotate the rod at different angles.

are there any examples or theories on how to do this?

Thank you

You may not need six axes. Do you know exactly how many degrees of freedom you need?

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
