Apparatus for producing cams is provided and specifically a machine for cutting conjugate disc cams for swinging roller followers. The apparatus includes means for holding and rotating a cam blank, a cutting tool, and a pivoted arm carrying the tool adjacent the edge of the blank, the arm also having a pointer for following a line on a moving chart. As the arm is pivoted when the line is followed, the cutting tool machines the edge of the cam blank and produces a cam of the desired shape. Preferably, two cams are formed at the same time by the cutting tool, the cam blanks overlapping and being rotated together. |
