Abstract
This paper considers the design of a transferring mechanism which belongs to one kind of adjustable six-bar linkage structures. Single loading point and two different destination injection points are required in the transferring system to ensure the best qualities while manufacturing different products with different materials. Due to the high complexity of synthesizing the twin manufacturing paths, this paper utilizes an evolutionary algorithm to design adjustable six-bar linkages which can simultaneously consider the dimension synthesis, twin path routing and practical manufacturing constraints. Besides, a real-world design case is used to verify the proposed approach according to the needs of the industry company.

Adjustable slider–crank linkages for multiple path generation

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal synthesis model is set up based on the position structural error of the slider guider, which can effectively reflect the overall difference between the desired and the generated paths, avoid the difficulty of selecting corresponding comparison points on the two paths, and can be calculated conveniently.
