Abstract
The apparatus of this invention consists of a housing containing 1) a 'cam-motor' mechanism 2) an input shaft and 3) an output shaft that may or may not be collinear with the input shaft. The 'cam motor' mechanism linking the input and output shafts is capable of an infinite variety of motion transfer functions between the input and output shafts. A 'cam-motor' or cam-modulated linkage provides the transfer function. Output motion can be specified to be any of a large variety of displacement profiles (either clockwise and or counter-clock wise) including several dwells and controlled accelerations and decelerations between them. Input motion can also be specified and can have either constant or variable velocity.
