Abstract

The applications of kinematic chains are not limited only to mechanical engineering field rather the kinematic chains are used in almost many areas like mechatronics, robot design, medical applications mainly in orthopedics area, medical instruments, physiotherapy exercise machines, and many more. As the kinematic chain is the base for any mechanism, it becomes necessary to generate and identify the unique, nonisomorphic or distinct feasible kinematic chains and have the digital library of the collection of kinematic chains so that they can be retrieved as and when required during the design phase. The objective being identification and enumeration of each kinematic chain with an identification code (digital), canonical numbering being a unique digital code assigned to identify the kinematic chains. In the proposed paper the identification codes, i.e., maxcode and mincode are explained along with an example of Stephenson’s chain.
