Consider the impact roller; the equation of the actual profile is follow.
Where rr is the roller radius, the symbol negative is the internal offset curves, the symbol positive is the external offset curves.
The θ can gain from: It not only can greatly improve the design speed, accuracy and design automation design, but also apply the simulation technology and modeling technology to analyze three-dimensional dynamic, by the parallel composite design of the cam mechanism.

Abstract
Cam mechanism can get the expected movement law by means of higher pair touch drive follower. This paper used Pro/E’s datum-graph function, to create the follower’s displacement line graph, and to control cam profile by using the displacement line graph, the line translating tip follower cam mechanism was wholly parametric designed. The system can provide 16 kinds of typical combination motion law for users. The system can generate automatically cam profile according to the parameter imported by the consumer. Furthermore, using the technology of virtual assembly and motion simulation, the visible assembly structure analysis and performance evaluation can be realized in design phase.

1. The train of thoughts to build model
By means of cam profile’s change, cam mechanism’s follower can reach the expected or any complex movement law, so as to cam mechanism is widely applied in various machinery and automatic control equipments [1]. The difficult point of full parameterize design is that cam should generate automatically different profiles according to different motion laws of follower [2].
Cam mechanism’s motion process is made up of four stages as rise travel, farthest dwell travel, return travel and nearest dwell travel, as shown in Fig. 1. In rise travel or return travel, there are some typical kinds of motion laws as constant velocity,constant acceleration and constant deceleration, cosine acceleration and sine acceleration, so cam mechanism products 16 kinds of motion combination. This paper took rise-travel and return-travel as design parameters, and gave 1, 2, 3 and 4 as their values to correspond respectively the four kinds of motion laws. So that only 8 corresponding motion curves were needed to create for program calling according to different parameters. Furthermore cam profile can generate automatically for 16 kinds of typical combination motion law.
