Kams, Inc. has a specialized design
program that produces polynomial cam profiles
of the highest quality. These tools control the
various polynomial equations that define the cam form.
Kams, Inc. enjoys the
challenge of reengineering camshafts to meet a variety of
special applications. Bar stock manufacturing
provides the flexibility to custom design profile and
timing changes, to make solid to hydraulic conversions,
and to even make flat-tappet to roller follower
conversions. With today’s requirements for cleaner
burning, higher efficiency, and more maintenance friendly
valve trains our camshaft designs have distinguished
themselves as industry leaders.
The focus in the cam
design department at Kams, Inc. is on finding progressive
camshaft solutions to engine specific or customer specific
engine performance problems. Many engines today are
required to perform at efficiency and emissions levels for
which they were not originally designed. The
camshaft becomes a focus early on in any performance
related effort, as it is the mechanical brain of 4-cycle
engines. The process to develop a modified camshaft
design revolves around thorough communication of both the
current engine operating conditions and results and the
desired engine operating conditions and results.
The Adcole gage can be used with either a carbide ball or rod follower
to measure the part. The part is held between centers and rotated
by the headstock spindle, which uses an optical angle encoder accurate
to 0.001 degrees. Readout of the follower's position is made at
every 1/4 degree rotation, and the follower's position is sensed with a
resolution os 0.0001 mm.
Adcole gages are world standard for measuring the
following geometric features:
Acceleration
Roundness
Perpendicularity
Diameter
Concentricity
Profile
Runout
Eccentricity
Cylindricity
Straightness
The model 1200 isused for maching tool setup,
in-process, post-process, and final
inspection. This gage is a major component of
our direct process control system.
