Cam Design Programs
CV4CAM - CV5CAM
CV4CAM screen shots
CV4CAM and CV5CAM are special cases of polynomial cam
design technique for flat translating followers. The
maximum cam velocity can be set to a limit so that the
cam-lifter contact point will not exceed the diameter of
a given size lifter.
Maximum velocity can often be reduced by as much as
10%. Cams can then be designed to "fit" on
lifters which might otherwise be too small in diameter.
CV5CAM screen shot
This program is available in 4 or 5 exponent versions.
All input values can be changed with a mouse pointer and
rerun in real time. All input data can be saved to a file
for future reference. CV4CAM and CV5CAM generate
translating flat follower cam data. Recalculation and
redraw on a DOS PC (386, 486 or Pentium) is less than 3
seconds.
