Cam indexing drive is a mechanical device for dividing materials or materials according to certain size and shape. Its structure usually consists of an input shaft, a conjugate cam, an output shaft and an indexing disk.
The input shaft is the part, which is usually driven by a motor or a manual rotary device. The conjugate cam is fixed on the input shaft, and its contour line is conjugate with the input shaft, which can realize the indexing of materials. The output shaft is connected to the conjugate cam and is used to output the indexed material. The indexing disk is located on the output shaft and usually consists of several indexing disks, which are used to index the material into several parts.
When the input shaft rotates, the conjugate cam rotates and indexes the material into multiple parts through the indexing disks. The indexing lines on the indexing disks index the material into different sizes and shapes to meet different production requirements.
The working principle of the cam indexing drive is to realize the material indexing through the contour line of the cam and the indexing line on the indexing disk. The contour lines of the cams index the material into multiple parts, while the indexing lines on the indexing disk index the material into different sizes and shapes.
In general, the structure and working principle of cam indexing drive is simple, but its indexing accuracy is high, which is suitable for many industrial production fields, such as food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical and so on.
