Get MoreThe kinetic finishing process does this by removing tiny peaks of material left behind after grinding while also minimizing the amount of side-to-side waviness across the surface of a camshaft lobe, thus increasing the effective surface-bearing area between a lobe and its mating lifter's roller.
Get MoreThe invention relates to a process for grinding of cams of a camshaft by means of a numerically-controlled camshaft grinding machine, whereby the camshaft is arranged in a workpiece mounting rotatably at preset angular velocity in predetermined angle steps about its longitudinal axis, and whereby a grinding wheel slide with a grinding wheel is infeedable in …
Get MoreCam grinders are cam actuated. The grinding operation itself is done by a fairly large grinding wheel. Cam grinding machines are typically equipped with a rocker ball mechanism. This allows the work to move toward and away from the wheel with each revolution of the grinding wheel.
Get MoreThe camshaft or cam profile grinding process is a special form of external cylindrical plunge grinding between centres, in which the grinding wheel axis machines the cam profile in a contour-controlled manner. Both CBN and conventional grinding wheels are used.
