Models SPC, BC and SC
R. D. Dane Corp. edge and track actuated type machinery cams shown below are of 80 KSI ductile cast iron and offered as machined blanks ready for profiling. We also provide CNC cam profiling services. CAD files are available.

Split	--	Model SPC is a split cam ready for edge profiling. Split cams require minimum effort for installation or replacement without disturbing other cams or components on the same shaft.
Box	--	Model BC is a box cam for generation of contoured face groove cam follower track. Being a split cam design, it may be easily installed or removed without disturbing other cams or components on the same shaft.
Solid	--	Model SC is a solid cam ready for edge profiling. It can be used when replacement will be required infrequently.

Engineering help is available for the development your machine. We can provide you with assistance for such things as station layouts, component details, timing charts, cam system analysis, etc. to help insure the success of your machine application.

Since 1981, we have provided cam contouring services with NC path data generated from our own proprietary software that affords the means for engineered motion solutions that are in many instances still not available in the latest popular commercial CAD packages including a wide variety of standard acceleration types,  complex polynomials for unique motion  requirements and other tools developed over the years to analyze and refine critical motions. 

R. D. Dane has designed and built many custom automatic machines requiring a wide variety of unique cam motions. All told, we have generated hundreds of cam designs with motions ranging in complexity from routine pick and place to special product handling and process contrained motions to, in one case, a conjugate pump motion for precise delivery of formulated DNA test diluent. We would enjoy the opportunity to help you with your most difficult cam motion challenge.

For the task of specifying your cam motion (those typically used in production machinery), we invite you to consider using our unique approach that focuses on the motion delivered by the cam and lever together as a system that eliminates the need for detailing the exact shape of a cam contour on a piece of paper.  Cam contours can be fully specified with only a short list of key parameters. If our blank is used, a drawing is not even needed at all.  We describe our approach here: Cam Design Made Easier
