This process affects the kinematics and the dynamics of a cam mechanism. This work aims to study and quantify this process and suggest a correct choice of the number of points that describes the profile, the number of digits adopted to represent these points and the type of interpolation adopted in working machines to reconstruct the original motion profile. The case of a single dwell rotary cam with translating follower is presented through numerical and experimental tests. The obtained results demonstrate that the linear interpolation can be an effective solution, interpolating a number of points in an optimal range avoiding excesses. Furthermore, the study highlights that the number of adopted digits may show a non-negligible effect. © 2019 date: 2020 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85074000845&doi=10.1016%2fj.mechmachtheory.2019.103652&partnerID=40&md5=072d0b05bf5f0c85cf1c09a84dba8e71 id_number: 10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2019.103652 full_text_status: none publication: Mechanism and Machine Theory volume: 144 refereed: TRUE issn: 0094114X citation: Borboni, A. and Aggogeri, F. and Elamvazuthi, I. and Incerti, G. and Magnani, P.L.
