The movable mechatronic kinetic sculpture with glass pendants on electronic cams

This article deals with the movable mechatronic kinetic sculpture with glass pendants on electronic cams. The aim of the work is to transform the initial idea of the designer's shapes and movements of the sculpture simulation to the final realization. The main topic of the article is the displacement law, in other words the electronic cams. Specifically the solution of the calculation of individual displacement law by the 5th degree polynomial with the possibility of a correction in the graphical environment in the design time and in the time of finishing the final form. Electronic, mechanical and programming equipment was developed. The smooth, quiet and dynamic movement of the independent metal-glass elements, synchronized with the lighting. Compared to the standard single-purpose tasks of the automated manufacturing machine type, the project's goal is an artistic impression. The result is a movable mechatronic kinetic sculpture with twenty servomotors and six scenes, controlled by the PLC, iPad interface and complete remote management because of the location Guangzhou, southern China. Although the resulting project is unique, it allows similar or innovative solutions in other realizations that come from the designers of moving kinetic sculptures.
