Abstract

This paper deals with the development of an interactive hierarchial CAD/CAM system for integrated design and manufacture of cams. A unique feature of the system is a CAD-CAM Interface module for manufacturing analysis, which integrates CAD with CAM so that manufacturing characteristics can be considered in the design phase and vice versa. Three types of cam grinding processes are considered including NC jig grinding for plate cams, and rocker grinding and NC grinding for camshafts. An example is presented to illustrate the operation of the CAD/CAM system. More complete integration of CAD and CAM is shown to significantly enhance our understanding and utilization of engineering technology.
