Abstract :A novel approach based on graphical approach of cam profile determination is put forth in this study. The objective of the study is to have a high accuracy independent platform from CAD systems and to eliminate determination parameters of planar cams like derivatives, pressure angle and curvature. A brief description of graphical method is represented. Equations and algorithms of the proposed approach for flat face and roller translating follower mechanisms are provided. Results are compared with results of the conventional analytical approach and graphical CAD systems which indicated that the approach provides precisely correct results.
