A Review on Pantograph Based Applications

  • Unique Paper ID: 154237
  • PageNo: 337-341
  • Abstract:
  • This paper aims to give various applications where a pantograph mechanism can work as a machine with high accuracy. A pantograph is a linkage mechanism which is generally used in electrical locomotives to conduct electricity from trajectory lines. It is made of 5 linkages which forms a parallelogram where, each of the link is getting connected with the help of pin joint in such a manner to form a revolute pair. Its only function is to follow an enhanced or dwindle image of the geometry it traces. Due to this property, it can be applied with some improvements in various machines in order to minimize its complexity and cost. personalized modelling and motion analysis of these mechanism in solid works is also in the scope of this paper, but due to repetition of identical results only few results are shown. Analysis is done by using 3 types of pantographs, so that all three same outputs can verify for practicality of application.
