Shutter Operator

The shutter operator is a widely used industrial mechanism that allows casement shutters to be operated from inside a room without opening the window. This product is a rich educational support covering mechanics (kinematics), technology (constructive solutions), and manufacturing (molding, machining).

Proposed Lab Topics

• Animate and model a kinematic chain
• Observe and characterize a worm gear reducer
• Set parameters and measure displacements
• Plot and analyze motion graphs
• Understand and graphically verify a kinematic law

Composition

• Shutter operator modified to visualize specific points, mounted on a wooden frame for hands-on use
• CD-ROM with educational and technical resources (3D)
