Engineering iMC INDUSTRIAL MOTION CONTROL, LUC. Cam-actuated motion control is a specialized business. In a 4 to 5-year university curriculum for mechanical engineering, most students spend only a few weeks studying cams and their related mechanisms. In addition to continuing academic research, many advances in cam technology have been made by companies and employees involved in the commercial application of these products. This engineering section provides the basic concepts necessary for machine designers to wisely choose the best cam solutions for their application. There are some good publications...

IMC Engineering INDUSTRIAL MOTION COIfTROL, LUC What is Indexing? Indexing can be linear or rotary. As defined by IMC, indexing is the process of starting and stopping in prթcise intervais at precise locations. Why Cam-Actuated Index Drives? The advantages of cam-controlled motion are obvious and effectively demonstrated in everyday life by the camshaft found in automobile engines. No other technology can provide comparable speed, prcision, repeatability, load capability and reliability. Cam-driven mechanisms require little or no maintenance and are capable of moving, with precision, a wide variety...

Engineering A Controlled Indexing is comprised of three sections or phases: acclration, peak velocity and d驩clra驭tion. To optimize the transition from one phase to the next, several standard motion profiles have been developed. They include Cycloidal, Modifid Sin and Modifi驩d Trapzoidal. In special circumstances, the motion required calls out for certain positions and/or velocities at certain times in the index cycle. Special Polynomial curves can be constructed for these applications. In other applications, the peak velocity needs to match the velocity of another component of the machine - and...

IMC Engineering INDUSTRIAL MOTION CONTROL, LLC Types of Index Drives IMC manufactures all three types of index drive geometries: Roller Gear, Right Angle, and Parallel. Roller Gear perpendicular to the output shaft. With this right angle configuration, it is possible to provide an optional large through-hole along the axis of the output shaft, or design a large output flange to accept dials (dial mounting). Large cam diameters relative to the output follower wheel allow for a wide rande of special motions, short motion periods and a large output displacement for relatively smaller input displacement....

IMC Engineering INDUSTRIAL MOTION CONTROL, LUC. A Types of Index Drives (continued) Parallel This family of indexers use a pair of conjugate plate cams with yoke-mounted followers mounted parallel to the axis of the output. The input shaft is parallel to the output shaft. With this parallel configuration, there are no ribs on the cam as found on Roller Gear and Right Angle indexers. Also unique to the Parallel family is no reversal of the cam followers. Since they rotate in the same direction throughout the index cycle, index rates of over 1000 indexes per minute are possible. Without minimum...
