FABRICATION OF

CYLINDRICAL CAM
SHAPER MACHINE
 ABSTRACT
• Cylindrical cams are, next to cam disks and globoidal cams, a very
common type of cams. Cylindrical cams are used when the output
motion is to be essentially parallel to the cam axis of rotation. In
contrast, the output of planar cams usually moves perpendicular to the
cam axis.Mechanisms are often made as simple as possible, with as few
parts and joints as possible to minimize backlash and elasticity..
• The objective of this work is to automate the conventional shaper
machine in order to achieve high productivity of work-pieces than the
normal shaper machine. The automated machine acquires two inputs
from the user namely the number of pieces to be cut and the length of
each piece that is required to be cut.
In a complex cam driven machine, of course you can control all
movements with cam disks, but for the output movements parallel to
the cam axis you will then have to use spatial linkages for motion
deflection. The rod ends in it have slack and harm the dynamics of the
machine. Therefore, it is often better to generate such movements
parallel to the cam axis in a direct manner with a cylindrical cam.The
application of this cam is used in shaper machine.
 INTRODUCTION
For cutting and shaping of different materials with a higher rating, improvement in
accuracy and efficiency because of minimization in an idle time of the machine, the
cutting time for conventional hacksaw machine and shaper machine is relatively more.
Therefore, productivity is less. So our effort is to reduce the cutting time and increase
productivity.
Transfer function with constant slope ("cylindrical worm") and controlled drive with
servomotors In the second case, too, it is necessary to determine the shape of the cam
edges correctly by cam calculation, because the constant gradient usually refers to the
rotational movement of the output gear! Cylindrical cams with constant angular
velocity referring to the rotating follower do not correspond to a spindle with a
constant slope in which the rollers run linearly directly over the cam axis Furthermore,
fixed cylindrical cams with multiple circumferential taps are often used in rotary
machines
 WORKING PRINCIPLE
In the conceptual model of “FABRICATION OF CYLINDRICAL CAM
SHAPING MACHINE” we are giving supply to the main cylinder as we can
see that the Crank mechanism is directly fabricated to the main shaft and have
same angular velocity as that of main-shaft.
When the D.C Motor is started the rotational power is transmitted through
the belt drive with the help of pulley to the main shaft. The shaft is connected
to the cylindrical cam. The nob which is present in the Disc plate pushes the
link to transfer the rotational motion into linear motion for shaping operation
PROJECT LAYOUT
 COMPONENTS

• Ac motor
• Pulley
• Circular cam
• Round plate
• Shaper machine
 ADVANTAGES

• Movements parallel to the drive axis directly accessible,

• with a compact and rigid construction
• high flywheel mass (advantage at constant drive speed)
Disadvantages
• High self-inertia (disadvantage with drive with servo or emergency
stop)
• More difficult to produce (4- or 5-axis machining), thus more
expensive
• The rolling contact between cam and roller is always interfered with
sliding, resulting in higher wear
 APPLICATION

• It can perform variable operation in a single time.

• Operations such as drilling, shaping, cutting can be done with a single
drive.
• It can be used in small, medium as well as large scale industries.
