Double Ball Loop

grabcad

In this project, the goal was to create a looping unit that a steel ball would travel through and then end up in a bin of some sort at the end. My concept was a clear glass tube and block assembly that would easily guide the ball to the box successfully. While not difficult to accomplish mechanically, creating a dynamic simulation of the project in motion was slightly challenging. To view the dynamic simulation video in Inventor, click on environments tab, then dynamic simulation, then in the simulation player, hit the play button and watch it work. First time playing through is always slow so play it a second time and it will be more clear. Make sure you have all files downloaded before opening the assembly. Otherwise it won't work.
