The drawbacks of the mechanical linear actuator which is applied to punch flexible printed circuit boards(FPCBs), are many components involved, low transmission efficient, and high proportion of energy consumption. In order to design and manufacture a device that can generate a rapid and high quality punching processes, the fundamental rules that can be followed are to use few parts with light weight design, good working piece, energy conserved, and perfect efficient. To improve the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the existing mechanism, design, manufacture, and assessment are to be taken for developing new linear actuated mechanisms. The first step is to analyze the performance of the existing linkage actuator . The second step is to design a over-head cam mechanism of non-constant rotational speed to substitute the pulley and the rock arm according to the design specifications. The performance of the new type actuated device is superior to the existing mechanism, and this research had preliminary verified the viewpoint of the energy in high speed punching. The achievements of this research also provide references for linear actuator designers and high speed punching producers.
