GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The slotted link mechanism (MBM1), designed by EDIBON, is an example of a quick-return mechanism.

This mechanism is a combination of an inversion of the slider-crank chain and slider block.
The unit is assembled in an anodized aluminum profile structure, with steel painted panel.

The MBM1 is a mechanism able to transform circular movement into reciprocating movement. It is made of aluminium and consists of a rotary
element (graduated disk), called crank, connected to a rigid bar, called connecting rod. When rotating the crank, the connecting rod moves back
and forward. The rotation motion of a crank or crankshaft causes a rectilinear reciprocating motion of a piston or plunger.

It is a reversible system through which the connecting rod can be displaced by turning the crank and the other way round. If the connecting rod
generates the input motion (as a piston in a car's engine does), the crank is obliged to rotate.

This unit is supplied with the following manuals: Required services, Assembly and Installation, Starting-up, Security, Maintenance and Practices
manual.

EXERCISES AND PRACTICAL POSSIBILITIES

1.- Demonstration of the action of a simple crank and slotted link
mechanism.
2.- Graphic determination of the relationship between the linear
displacement of the sliding block and the angular
displacement of the input crank.
Other possible practices:
3.- More advanced exercises may include the determination of the
velocity and acceleration of the slider block by graphical
differentiation and comparison with the values obtained by
velocity and acceleration diagrams.

MBM1/CAI. Computer Aided Instruction Software System:

With no physical connection between unit and computer, this
complete package consists on an Instructor Software
(INS/SOF) totally integrated with the Student Software

Unit + (MBM1/SOF). Both are interconnected so that the teacher knows

at any moment what is the theoretical and practical knowledge of
Instructor Student the students. These, on the other hand, get a virtual instructor who
Software Software
helps them to deal with all the information on the subject of study.

Example of software screens

INS/SOF. Classroom Management Instructor Software
Software (Instructor Software):
The instructor can:
- Organize Students by Classes and
Groups.
- Create easily new entries or delete
them.
- Create data bases with student
information.
- Analyze results and make statistical
comparisons.
- Print reports.
- Develop own examinations.
- Detect student s progress and
difficulties.
...and many other facilities.

This software, working in network

configuration, allows controlling all the
students in the classroom.

Student Software
MBM1/SOF. Computer Aided Instruction
Software (Student Software):
It explains how to use the unit, run the
experiments and what to do at any moment.
- This software contains:
Theory: gives the student the
theoretical background for a total
understanding of the studied subject.
Exercises: divided by thematic areas
and chapters to check out that the
theory has been understood.
Guided Practices: presents several
practices to be done with the unit,
showing how to complete exercises
and practices.
Exams: set of questions presented to
test the obtained knowledge.

MBM1/CAL. Computer Aided Learning Software (Results Calculation and Analysis):

This Computer Aided Learning Software (CAL) is a Windows based software, simple and very easy to use, specifically developed by EDIBON.

CAL is a class assistant that helps in making the necessary calculations to Calculations
extract the right conclusions from data obtained during the experimental
practices.

CAL will perform the calculations.

CAL computes the value of all the variables involved.

It allows to plot and print the results. Between the plotting options, any
variable can be represented against any other.

Different plotting displays.

It has a wide range of information, such as constant values, unit conversion

factors and integral and derivative tables.
