Mechanism Drive & Timing
Cams
A cam turns rotary drive into a defined movement the mechanism repeats every cycle — the profile on its face decides how that movement behaves.
Where a mechanism on an IS machine is cam-driven, the profile does the deciding. A follower traces the face, and the face fixes when movement begins, how hard it accelerates, where it dwells and how it settles at the end of travel. Cut the curve right and the mechanism repeats the same path cycle after cycle. Cut it badly and the follower takes the punishment.
KVG machines cams to customer drawings, blank side and blow side. Digital drawings are read and edited in-house, so the profile that reaches the shop floor is the one you specified. Material follows the drawing — cast iron, SG iron or aluminium. Each cam is dimensioned to interchange with the equipment already on the section, so a replacement goes on without reworking anything around it.
What you get
Built for Repeatable Production
Profile Accuracy First
The working face is machined to the curve on your drawing, because that curve is the only thing setting the follower's motion.
Smooth, Repeatable Motion
A clean profile gives a gentle acceleration and a settled stop, which keeps shock out of the follower, the linkage and its pivots.
Interchangeable Fit
Dimensioned against the cams and followers already fitted, so a replacement mounts and runs without altering the mechanism around it.
Built From Your Drawing
We read and edit digital drawings in-house, so a repeat set comes back to the same profile rather than a redrawn approximation.
