Abstract


This paper presents a novel copying mechanism for the replication of trajectories. Inspired by the pantograph and incorporating design elements of the Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage, this mechanism represents a distinctive approach and shows how a desired trajectory can be transformed into a more convenient one using a six-bar linkage. By bridging the output trajectory of this mechanism (the desired trajectory) with the input trajectory (a more convenient trajectory), a larger radius of action can be achieved with a simplified linkage structure. This mechanism can be used in many industries where trajectory manipulation is critical for improved user experience and operational efficiency
