Abstract
The paper describes an application developed within the European project thinkMOTION. The project aims to post online, within a digital library, heterogeneous content regarding mechanisms science and related fields. Special systems were developed in Ilmenau, Germany and in Timisoara, Romania, in order to actuate and take photographs of the physical models of the mechanisms to be digitized. The systems consist of a motor mechanically connected to the mechanism by means of a coupling device and electrically connected to a PC or a PLC. A digital still camera is connected to the same computer/controller. The logic of this system is to take a photograph after each rotational increment of 0.9°, thus obtaining a complete 400 images set that can be further processed via software in order to obtain an interactive animation which can be uploaded on the project’s dedicated web portal and used in this way as an educational or informational content tool.
