The press machine is actuated by the rotating motion of crank shaft and the reciprocating motion of slide. In recent years, unbalance moments and forces to the main frame attract many researches, as press technology becomes more miniaturized, precise, and rapid. In order to control vibrations caused by the rapid motions of the crank shaft and slide, this paper studies a resolution reducing the unbalance at the high speed knuckle press.

In this study, suspension geometry is controlled to improve vehicle handling performance. The toe and camber of the rear suspension is controlled independently by using a double knuckle structure designed to enhance the vehicle cornering stability. Camber and toe changes in the rear wheel during high speed turning maneuver are important factors that influence the vehicle stability. Toe in the rear outer wheel plays a dominant role in cornering. A control algorithm for the camber and the toe angle input is developed to carry out the control simulation of the vehicle such as single lane change, the steady state cornering, the double lane change and the step steering simulation. Effects of the camber and toe angle control are analyzed from the computer simulations. A double lane change simulation revealed that the suspension mechanism with variable camber angle and variable toe angle decreases the peak body slip angle and peak yaw rate, 50% and 10%, respectively.
