The TIP-TOE mechanism
By: alfaster78 Date: February 22, 2013, 6:12 am

Hi! How to calculate the Tip-Toe mechanism. I mean the tip-toe
lug position which would provide a uniform movement of the track
units and the caster wheels. Cradle Base should be parallel to
the ground during the operation of the Tip-toe mechanism. At the
normal and the maximum up position averything ok, but between
these position the base losing horizon position. I know it's
becouse the track units move simple arc with the pivot center at
the tube, but the caster jockey wheel - it's the swivel mech.
The moving angles are not the same. For example: than the track
units wheel passes the first quarter way, the caster wheel
passes more than quarter way... etc. but than the track units
wheel passes the last quarter way, the caster wheel passes about
1/8 way.
What are thoughts?

Hi Alfaster78,
I have attached a picture for you showing the Input-Inc Teams
Track Tip Geometry and the fact that it does maintain perfect
Parallel and Vertical relationship throughout its entire range
of travel to within 0.00000000 of a degree. I cannot give you
any detailed information as to how to fix yours or why it is not
working due to the simple fact that even the smallest of
dimensional differences between what you have designed and our
design would make any meaningful help from us of no use because
yours would have to be different in order for yours to work
properly. The measurements and angles of all of the interfacing
parts change and are directly influenced by one another.
