In this article, we will discuss the topic of turning cam programming, which is something that is used to set the cutting depth on CNC turning lathes. This enables you to make fine-grained adjustments to your manufactured parts by changing the cutting depth mid-turn
Turning Cam Programming Explaine
Cam programming basically refers to the act of adjusting a cutting tool's cutting radius and relative position within the machine axis so that it matches the desired application. The term "cam" has become synonymous with any type of adjustment or adjustment mechanism in machining processes
A cam system consists of one or more cam blocks or cams and an actuator (or motor). The cam block(s) are generally located on tooling carriers or spindles, while the actuator is usually found at the shaft end of a spindle or carriage. A typical configuration uses a single cam block to control both vertical and horizontal movements, while a double cam block allows separate control over vertical and horizontal movements.
