A cam is required for a reciprocating follower for a pick-and-place robotic arm. The cam follower must rise outward 0.75 in. with constant velocity in 1.4 s, dwell for 2.3 s, fall with constant velocity in 0.8 s, dwell for 1.9 s, and then repeat the sequence. Determine the required speed of the cam and plot a follower displacement diagram. A cam is required for a reciprocating follower for a pick-and-place robotic arm.
