Precision straightening for camshafts
Straightening can be performed on forged, finished or tubular shafts where cams are clamped. Generally, up to 6 straightening points are required. For a precise analysis of the pitch diameter and a consequent accurate straightening, the machine is equipped with a Master device for each groove. Machine size depends on the section and length of parts.
The machine can be also equipped with complementary units, as:
Thread unscrewing removal system
for hole protection during heat treatment process
Crack detection device
to optimize the straightening process by avoiding cracking
Workpiece traceability system
complete with camshaft code marking and reading
Center cleaning units
For high efficiency of the whole process, the straightener is completed with a fully automatic set up unit. Parts can be loaded manually by the operator or, in order to guarantee the best productivity, with continuous power loading/unloading systems (grips, portals, 6-axis robots) according to customer requirements.
