Cam driven indexer mostly employed in sectors including automated production, packing, electronic assembly, and printing, it is a mechanical tool used to transform continuous rotating motion into intermittent motion, sometimes known as a cam divider. Its fundamental component is a specifically crafted cam and driven wheel construction that uses cam curve design to attain high-precision intermittent indexing motion.
The cam indexer drives the shaft to rotate, therefore transmitting constant rotational motion to the internal cam mechanism. The cam's curved design may produce sporadic motion within a certain angle range, which drives the output shaft to divide precisely based on the angle range. It remains exactly after every division until the next motion starts.
These are some advantages of cam driven indexer as follow:
High precision indexing: The cam driven indexer can reach ± 0.02 degrees of high precision positioning.
Through especially crafted cam curves, the splitter moves smoothly, therefore preventing mechanical impact and extending equipment life.
The mechanical construction of the cam splitter is small, with great rigidity, capacity to withstand big loads, and ability to keep stability under high-speed running situations.
Different versions of cam dividers can offer many indexing station options, typically ranging from 2 to 64 stations, to fulfil different industrial purposes.
