Watch the following Arbor Press animation that I uploaded. Distance Mate.

We want to assemble this Arbor Press today.

1) Download the zip folder https://drive.google.com/file/d/16Cr3Iv69goMqRNWgA4sHc8O2Wa9w2lyS/view?usp=sharing and unzip it (right click and select “extract”).

2) Open a new assembly file and import all part files.

3) Assemble them based on the image the Arbor Press that you’ve watched in the youtube video. In terms of the rack and the pinion (gear), we have to set up a special mate called rack pinion of “mechanical mates”. I put an instruction video here:

4) After finishing 3), create an animation of Arbor Press which moves pressing down and lifting up. You can motorize it using linear motion (actuator) or rotation motion (motor). (Maybe you can try a linear motion that we haven’t done yet in the class.)

5) Upload your animation to youtube and post the link here!

6) We will discuss this animation next week before the midterm starts.

That’s it!! Enjoy!
