Discussion on the Accurate Modeling of Cylindrical Indexing Cam

Spatial indexing cam is widely used in some automation machineries, and usually can be classified into the following three types: (1) cylindrical indexing cam; (2) parallel indexing cam; (3) globular indexing cam. These cams have their own use range, and also are different in index number and application accuracy. In this paper, cylindrical indexing cam is mainly analyzed.
