302 Subject to alterations
In many toolmaking areas, purchased cam units are established as a cost-efficient option. Standard solutions can
be used for a wide range of applications thanks to a diversified range of cam unit series.
Complex component geometries, overlaps with mechanisation devices or modified geometrical requirements on
cam units do not permit the use of standard cam units in various cases. Tool-specifically configured cam units
from FIBRO represent an alternative to the self-constructed and self-made cam units used here. This allows
application-specific requirements to be combined with the advantages of standard purchase cam units.
Take advantage of our expertise
FIBRO develops tool-specific cam units according to the same technical standards as catalogue cam units.
By inquiring at an early stage, we can closely accompany you in the development of dies, and you also have
the possibility to design an optimal solution for your application. Our tool-specific cam units means there is no
longer any additional logistical effort required in your procurement processes as well as in the parts supply in
the workshop. The installation of the tool-specific configured cam unit corresponds to the process sequences
of catalogue cam units, assembly and tuning measures within a self-made cam unit are no longer required. The
analytical design of these cam units is the basic requirement for a smooth application over the intended life cycle
of the cam unit. However, should undesirable wear occur during the tool lifetime, a rapid spare part supply is
ensured by the use of a maximum number of standard parts in the cam unit. Through the entire tool development
and assembly process, as well as the entire lifetime of the cam unit, FIBRO is thus your competent contact person
for all your cam unit questions.
Features customised cam units
Tool-specific configured cam units from FIBRO generally have the same properties and qualities as our catalogue
cam units. In general, we can realize working widths up to 1100 mm for you. The conversion possibilities of
working widths greater than 1100 mm must be clarified in advance.
What is the process?
Tool-specific cam units are always used when a standard cam unit cannot meet the requirements of the tool.
These can be very simple changes, such as a widened working surface, but also very complex scope of changes,
such as complete offset cam unit components, multiple working surfaces, modified stiffnesses, etc.
The descriptions as exact as possible of your requirements for the cam unit are the basis for an target-oriented
engineering of your tool-specific cam unit. In addition to the desired design principle (on which series your
customer-specific cam unit will be based), we will also require a detailed description of the extent of change.
Alternatively, you have the possibility to describe your problem to us in the tool and to provide us with design
data from your tool (for example, part position, method plan, maximum possible space for the cam unit) as well
as the tool environment (e.g. restrictions on mechanisation devices). In this case, FIBRO can handle the entire
engineering of the customer-specific cam unit for you.
Of course, you also have the possibility to send us modified CAD data from our catalogue cam units, from which
we can then extract the properties of your tool-specific cam unit. The plausibility and feasibility test as well as the
manufacturing technology preparation with resultant possible technical modifications are made in our facility due
to reasons of the warranty.
