Hi,
I am trying to model a two jaw gripper. I have constrained each jaw to the main section of the gripper assembly with a slider constraint. I can drag each jaw independently as needed. This is a purchased component, and I have downloaded the models which are not detailed enough to include the mechanical internals.
I would like to be able to drag one jaw and have the other move as well as if the jaws are mechanically linked like they are in the real world. I could model a linkage, constrain it, and hide those components.
I'm wondering if there is an easier way. I thought I might use relations and set the translation dimensions for each jaw to be equal. However, I do not seem to be able to get that to work.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Matt
