You can save this data to a DXF or TXT file. When you finish editing your cam-follower mechanism, the result of the cam design and calculation are inserted in the drawing.įinally, you can generate NC data from the cam profile you created. You can also optimize the cam profile by selecting a new cam center or a new start point for the cam-follower movement. You can then go back to any stage in the design process to change data or select another type of cam-follower mechanism.
In the next stage of the cam design and calculation process, you can view the result of calculation. CAM Design also known as cam profile design this is used to get. Strengths are the external forces acting on the cam-follower, forces due to friction between the arm of the follower and the follower guide bushing, forces of any spring used to fix the follower-roller to the cam periphery, and characteristics of the materials used for roller and cam. Our 3D programming software helps to fold & assemble sheet metal into any shape. You use the first draft of the cam profile to calculate strengths of the cam-follower mechanism.
At this stage, the cam calculation feature creates and inserts the first draft of the cam profile in the drawing. And based on the displacement diagram, velocity and acceleration diagrams are generated. You can select to use a translating or swinging follower, an open- or closed-track for the cam-follower mechanism.ĭepending on the type of cam-follower you selected, you then define the displacement diagram for the follower.
