Camnetics Suite 2019 (Build 07.05.2019)

Camnetics Suite 2019 (Build 07.05.2019) provides the designer advanced tools for creating solid models of drive components and assemblies.

Camnetics Suite is an object oriented/property driven gear design programs. It is not the intent of Camnetics Suite to replace your CAD system but to augment the CAD system with a user interface that will allow the gear designer to accurately visualize the components before they are modeled in the CAD system.

GearTrax has a predetermined number of components. For example, the spur tab always has 2 gears, a pinion and a gear. For bevel gears this is important because bevels are normally defined as a set. The number of teeth in both gears defines such properties as the pitch angles. When GearTrax creates in CAD, the user can select between creating only the individual models or the models and the assembly. GearTrax is programmed in the USA using 100% renewable energy.

A GearTeq component can be a CAD part by itself. The component can be part of a set of components that make up a single CAD part. For example, a spur gear is a single component but this spur gear may have an internal spline as a child mate that is defined as a bore. When created in CAD, the spur gear will be created and the internal spine will be added features of the spur gear. This is also true for mating parts that are defined as joined.

A CamTrax64 base component is either a cylinder or a cube. A cylinder can have paths inserted on both ends and/or the cylindrical surface. A cube can have paths inserted on the upper or lower surface. Each path has a single cam follower. This follower can be translating or oscillating. A path may also be a dual follower (two cam followers of the same diameter) so a ridge is created along the centerline of the path. A path may also be conjugate to another path (master). The conjugate path may have a follower of a different diameter than the master path
