LamCam™ Aerial Modular Cams

Product catalog summary

Introduction and General Overview
This document provides comprehensive technical details on Anchor Lamina's Aerial Modular Cams, designed for metal stamping and plastics forming industries. The cams emphasize durability, precision, modularity, and ease of maintenance, featuring interchangeable parts and compliance with industry standards.

Key Features and Design Highlights

Safety-focused spring replacement system with slide retention during spring removal.
Major components constructed from high-strength steel castings.
Wear areas protected by double-plated, self-lubricated wear plates to minimize maintenance and extend lifespan.
Three return spring kit options: Mechanical ISO spring, Combination Mechanical/Nitrogen spring (recommended), and Nitrogen spring.
Pentahedron design ensures smooth, stable slide movement across 500 to 1200 Series cams.
Urethane bumpers cushion slide return; optional hydraulic shock absorbers available for low-angle cams.
Mounting provisions include square keys and dowel holes for precise installation.
Meets or exceeds NAAMS cam requirements with safety lock-out kits and dual external positive return systems.
Super-duty accelerator system standard for angles 0° to 50°.

Return Spring System Options
Three tailored return spring kits accommodate different application needs:

Mechanical Spring Kit: Conventional ISO die spring, suitable where no extra stripping force is needed.
Combination Mechanical/Nitrogen Spring Kit: Combines mechanical preload with nitrogen high final load, reducing wear and enhancing stripping force; recommended for Aerial and Diemount cams.
Nitrogen Spring Kit: Provides high return forces but with higher initial contact force, potentially increasing wear.

Optional shock absorbers are advised for cams with angles below 35° lacking accelerators to ensure gentle slide return.

Series Specifications and Dimensions
The document details specifications for multiple series (500-600, 700-800, 900-1000, 1100-1200), including:

Dimensional drawings with critical measurements (face width, work angle, press stroke, work stroke, effective work stroke).
Part numbers, weights (kg and lbs), and spring kit options for angles from 0° to 60° in 5° increments.
Component parts lists with item numbers, quantities, descriptions, and part numbers for assembly and maintenance.
Return spring kit specifications including preload and final load forces, tooling allowances, and rated capacities.

Highlights by Series

500-600 Series: Face widths and angles 0°–60°, preload forces 51.3–276 kg, final loads up to 458 kg, rated capacity 435 kN (44.3 M-Tons).
700-800 Series: Rated capacity 670 kN (68.3 M-Tons), max weight 130 kg, detailed tooling ball and dowel locations for precise installation.

Component Parts
Comprehensive parts lists include accelerator blocks (angle-dependent), socket head cap screws (various sizes), base plates, slides, roller shafts, wear plates (bronze, steel, hard steel), spring return brackets, lockout spacers, positive return keys, and optional shock absorber assemblies.

Installation Procedures
Without Installation Tool:

Remove return spring kit and install lockout kits.
Secure cam base/slide assembly within ±0.5 mm tolerance.
Assemble die shoes to shut height.
Fit cam driver assembly, tighten screws after seating.
Transfer tooling holes, drill, tap, and machine as needed.
Attach positive return guide and accelerator; adjust for smooth engagement.
Lubricate wear plates before final assembly.
Verify free slide movement, install return springs, and torque screws to specifications.

With Installation Tool:

Remove slide and accelerator components.
Bolt square bar to cam driver center slot.
Position cam slide onto driver, engage positive returns.
Attach installation bracket and secure screws.
Insert adjustment screw and rotate to simulate slide movement and punch setting.

Torque Specifications
Socket head cap screws require specific torque values:

M6: 16 N·m (140 in-lbs)
M8: 39 N·m (350 in-lbs)
M10: 77 N·m (680 in-lbs)
M12: 135 N·m (1200 in-lbs)
M16: 330 N·m (2900 in-lbs)

Lower torque values apply for low-profile screws.

Patents and Compliance
The cams are covered by U.S. Patent No. 5,885,521 and European Patent No. 1097010, with additional patents pending. They meet or exceed NAAMS standards, ensuring industry compliance and safety.

3 Recognizing that different cam applications have different requirements, Lamina offers three Return Spring Kit Options. 1. Mechanical . Employs a conventional ISO Die Spring, used in cam applications where additional stripping force is not required. 2. Combination Mechanical/Nitrogen . This unique Lamina design employs an ISO Die Spring in series combination with a Nitrogen Spring. This return system utilizes the mechanical spring for preload, keeping the forces low, while providing high final loads from the nitrogen spring for stripping. 3. Nitrogen . This return system provides high return...
