What are the advantages and disadvantages of machine tool CAM mechanism?

CAM mechanism is an important driving and controlling mechanism used to realize mechanization and automation in machine and equipment application engineering. It is widely used in the working machinery of light industry, textile, food, medicine, printing, standard parts manufacturing, transportation and other fields. Although the theory of CAM mechanism design by analytical method has been discussed in some books, it is not enough to be used in engineering practice. In combination with some situations in teaching and practical application, we introduce a set of simple, clear and intuitive ways to the readers, without complicated calculation, so that most readers can quickly have a clear cognition and practical application of the tugboat, without the need for derivation of the CAM contour curve equation, so as to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the design. It also involves the design of various conjugate CAM mechanisms.
In order to meet the needs of high speed CAM mechanism analysis and design, the content of dynamic analysis and dynamic design is included. The general CAM mechanism design is mainly to design the basic size of the mechanism and the CAM profile which can reproduce the motion law of the given follower, but the concrete mechanical structure must be used in the engineering to ensure the realization of the design results.
For CAM processing, reasonable cutting scheme and correct tool center track coordinate data, is to obtain the key to meet the design requirements of the CAM profile, each kind of CAM cutting scheme, tool center track coordinates calculation method and by the tool center track coordinates, determine the control parameters of machining, Machining CAM profile on the copying machine is the main way to improve the production efficiency and stable machining quality of CAM, plus the square mold mechanism cooperation motorcycle wheel design, it is like tiger wings.
The advantages and disadvantages of CAM mechanism in application, let's talk about the disadvantages first! CAM mechanism because of the design process time consuming, power consumption, a simple timing action will be analyzed for a long time, he is not like electrical control, can change his action flow at any time, the order of order, so in the no design before the control order to confirm, and once the design is good, can not be arbitrarily changed, the change is involved in the whole body. In addition, machining is also an important factor to hinder the popularity of CAM mechanism.

General processing machine tools, there is no CAM inside those strange acceleration derivative formula, processing has become a problem. Another is the cost of the CAM, with the CAM mechanism of the machine is obviously relatively high cost.
The advantage of the CAM mechanism is relatively obvious, his biggest advantage is that he does not need to control, just a mechanism, he also into a set of control system, another advantage is the CAM mechanism save space, relatively easy to install, the third advantage, is "fast", the CAM mechanism turn a circle is a production cycle, in theory how fast the motor turn, it can run how fast.
