Work Envelope Basics

Page 3


The area covered by Red dots is an approximation of 2-Dimensional Work Envelope.
(A MATLAB® program is given below to illustrate the concept)

Configuration 1 Configuration 2 Configuration 3

            lx(1) = 0.0;
            ly(1) = 0.0;

            lx(2) = lx(1) + L1;
            ly(2) = ly(1) ;

            lx(3) = lx(2) ;
            ly(3) = ly(2) + L2;

            lx(1) = 0.0;
            ly(1) = 0.0;

            lx(2) = lx(1) + L1 ;
            ly(2) = ly(1) ;

            lx(3) = lx(2) +L2 ;
            ly(3) = ly(2);

            lx(1) = 0.0;
            ly(1) = 0.0;

            lx(2) = lx(1) + L1 ;
            ly(2) = ly(1) ;

            lx(3) = lx(2);
            ly(3) = ly(2) - L2 ;

Configuration 1 Configuration 2 Configuration 3

A simple MATLAB® code is provided below.
main_006.m is to be executed.
EXPERIMENT : Change the value of the variable configuration_no to 1, 2 and 3 to realize different configurations.
