About the sherline cnc cam grinder when building a model engine one of the more difficult components to make is usually the camshaft there are ways to make a mechanical grinder to do the job and ways to make builtup cams but this is one job where computer control really makes sense
Jun 22 2007 one of my current projects is turning an old van norman piston grinder into a cam grinder for small engines cam length up to 10 took me a year to find the machine so far the worst part has been trying to work up a plan for indexing the cams in the machine for various centerlines this will save on the amount of patterns i need to make
Many builders have gone down this route but have resorted to building specialistgrinding machines to rectify this distortion etw also states in his construction article on the seal that by far the quickest way to manufacture a camshaft was to make all the inlet and all the exhaust cams together
Nov 11 2011 a leading manufacturer of highperformance valve train components installed a twin spindletwinturret lathe to bring camshaft machining work inhouse here the company explains how it has become more effective using its multifunction lathe to produce small batches of custom racing camshafts
Speeding up changeovers and the ability to quickly change cam lobe designs during rd are vital to the success of aftermarket camshaft manufacturers okumas gc34nh cnc cam grinder and userfriendly pcaptcamg software streamline these processes and can be used in many other nonround cnc grinding applications as well
The method permits the cam blank to be hardened before grinding to shape depending on the design of the machine precise phasing of the cam lobes on a onepiece shaft is simplified compared to other methods several designs for cam grinding machines have appeared in model engineering magazines see references in many cases the machines have
Cnccrankshaft and camshaft grinder in excellent condition like new complete equipped for grinding of centre bearings and pin bearings in one clamping through cnbgrinding wheels a conversion to corundumgrinding wheels is possible
Camshaft machine company camshaft machine company manufactures internal combustion engine and fuel system camshafts for use in automobiles trucks heavy equipment and stationary engines we supply both completely finished and semifinished camshaft cores ugl ready for
Our newest landis lt1ve camshaft grinder is the latest technology offered in camshaft grinding and it is the first lt1ve grinder put into use by landis with a 350mm grinding wheel this machine is capable of grinding lobe profiles that can only be achieved with 1 million camshaft grinders
Oct 29 2004 thermal modeling allows the manufacturing engineer to model a new camshaft design and report back to the designer and metallurgist what the model predicts will happen to the camshaft during grinding and whether this is acceptable based on material and design thermal modeling can also serve as an educational tool for the camshaft grinding process

Machine builders in europe and japan are marketing highspeed camgrinding machines with wheel speed capability of up to 200 msec high grinding wheel speeds offer the advantage of longer wheel life lower forces and high removal rates things to know about cam grinding the oemsupplier challenge its better to be liked
Im sure many wouldbe model engine builders have seen photos of the complicated heathrobinson like cam grinding machines that appear in the model engineering press from time to time and concluded that while they might like to have a go at a fourstroke they dont have the time required to build a cam grinder or the expense would be too
Oct 26 2016 the lathe uses a follower cam much like the camshaft in your car except that on the machine the cam lobe rotates against a solid lug the cam lobe moves the spinning camshaft changing its position against the spinning grinding wheel the operator switches between the intake and exhaust lobes the entire process takes just a few minutes
