What is a Cam positioner?

A cam positioner is a device used in the fields of mechanical engineering and automatic control. The purpose is to replace the mechanical cam and simplify the structure. A mechanical cam is a mechanism that rotates a circular or elliptical camshaft to operate a part that performs a specific action based on its shape. Cam positioners generally use sensors, encoders, etc. to detect the rotation angle and position of the shaft and feed them back to the control system. The control system controls the axis based on preset cam profiles.

Application of Cam positioner

１．Automated Assembly Lines
Used for precise positioning of parts in production lines, improving the efficiency of part feeding and assembly processes.
２．Packaging Machines
Positions products accurately during packaging processes, ensuring precise cutting, labeling, and sealing.
３．Printing Machines
Ensures accurate positioning of paper or film during printing to prevent misalignment and improve print quality.
４．Welding Robots
Helps move robot arms to precise positions, enabling highly accurate welding operations.
５．Medical Device Manufacturing
Used in assembly processes of medical devices, where precision in positioning small and high-accuracy parts is critical.
