Abstract
An approach to the analysis of the surface form of spatial cams, based on envelope theory, is illustrated. The method, previously developed by the authors, is applied here to spool winding cams. These groove-type barrel cams employ followers having flank radii significantly larger than the groove width, implying particular problems in defining the form of the cam surface. The capability presented here to precisely define the surface form is the necessary precursor for optimum design and manufacture.
