Cam PositionersIndustrial automation and controls refers to the use of technology, such as computers and sensors, to automate and control industrial processes. This can include things like manufacturing, material handling, and quality control. Cam positioners, also known as cam followers or track followers, are a type of device used in industrial automation and control systems to accurately position and move components or parts.
Cam positioners typically consist of a pivoting arm or follower that is attached to a moving component, such as a machine tool or a conveyor belt. The arm or follower is designed to follow a cam or guide track, which determines the position and movement of the attached component. Cam positioners can be used in a variety of applications, such as indexing, motion control, and assembly, and are available in different sizes and styles to suit different requirements.
