Syntax

SG=SGManipulatorLink([LL,Shap,LD,LH,DD])

Input Parameter

LL: Axis Distance; default is 40; or [Startpoint;Endpoint]
Shap: if true; the links are shaped; default is false
LD: Radius of the Tip rounding; default is 5
LH: Height of the Elements also used as shaping Radius; default is 6
DD: if true; the shape is doubled for chaining; default is false

Output Parameter

SG: Link Geometry

Examples


SGManipulatorLink(40,true); SG=ans;
SGdimensioning4(SG);
[P,N]=SGdesignBallbearing([2.5 7 3.5]); % Create Space for Shaft
SG=SGsubtract(SG,P,'alignT',{'C','B'});
SG=SGsubtract(SG,N,'alignT',{'C','F'}); SGfigure(SG);
SGManipulatorLink(40,true); SG=ans;
[P,N,S]=SGdesignDIN912DIN985([3 10 0],'TT',40,pi/2);
SG=SGsubtract(SG,P,'alignT',{'C','B'});
SG=SGsubtract(SG,N,'alignT',{'C','F'}); SGfigure(SG);
