SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the design of a portable device that requires the ability to tilt an object, specifically a rod within a cylinder, to achieve various orientations. The user seeks examples or theories related to this mechanism, emphasizing the need for precise movement capabilities. A reference to six-axis motion platforms from servos.com is provided, suggesting that the complexity of the design may vary based on the required degrees of freedom.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of degrees of freedom in mechanical design
  • Familiarity with servo motors and their applications
  • Knowledge of kinematics and motion control systems
  • Basic principles of portable device engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and applications of six-axis motion platforms
  • Explore servo motor control techniques for precise object manipulation
  • Study kinematic models for tilting mechanisms in portable devices
  • Investigate design considerations for achieving multiple degrees of freedom
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and designers working on portable device mechanisms, robotics enthusiasts, and anyone interested in motion control systems for object manipulation.

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?
