In the following example, glue tracks are applied to wooden boards. Each cam
track controls one glue gun via a digital output.
Figure 1-2
Example: Controlling a Press
Another typical application is the automation of an eccentric press with a cam
controller.
This is a rotational process; in other words, after one revolution of the rotary axis,
the function starts again at the beginning.
Typical electronic cam controller tasks in this application include:
Turning the lubricant supply on and off
Triggering material feed and removal (for example controlling a gripper)
Stopping the press at the "upper dead point"
Example: Packaging System
Preserves are packed on a turntable. The electronic cam controller triggers actions
at specific angular positions:
Placing and folding of cartons on the turntable
Placing the preserves in the cartons
Closing the cartons
Placing the cartons on a conveyor belt
