Optimization of Geometric Dimensions of Links Mechanism of Cross-Planer Machine

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive kinematic analysis of the mechanism of a cross-planing machine, widely used in the mechanical engineering industry in Uzbekistan. The analysis focuses on optimizing the geometric dimensions of the machine's key components, particularly the crank and connecting rods, to improve performance. A mathematical model was developed using MathCAD to evaluate the relationship between the length of the crank and the gear ratio during operation. The study identified optimal crank dimensions within the range of 250-300 millimeters, where the maximum gear ratio is achieved. These findings contribute to the development of more efficient machines, improving their overall functionality and proposing advancements for future designs.
