Control curves that rank among the best in the industry: designed and manufactured by WASSERMANN

As an experienced expert for industrial, series-produced control cams and cam gears, we have mastered the entire range of this technology – right up to the high-end segment: the so-called high-performance cams. Among other things, they are characterized by ground surfaces, which makes the machine run even more smoothly.

We can create all geometries that are relevant for modern mechanical control cams: Globoidal cams, conical globoidal cams, cylindrical cams, disk cams, double disk cams, complementary cams and axial cams. With our expertise in geometries, we design exactly the curve that best meets your requirements.

We develop, calculate and manufacture cams that ensure high process reliability and productivity in filling systems, packaging machines, textile machines, printing machines and other applications.

Individual cam gears as special solutions

There are standard scenarios and there are special challenges. We will find a solution for both cases. Let us clarify the special load and movement profiles of your application in an initial discussion. We have already developed many cam gears that do not fit into any standard pattern.

Precision guides for special applications

WASSERMANN is flexible. You decide to what extent you want to involve us in your project. We can take on the whole package or just sub-projects. If you do not need a complete cam drive, but rather project-specific components or know-how, we are also happy to be part of your team as co-developers or production experts.

We offer you industrial process steps such as machining, heat treatment, grinding, straightening, but also manual machining or setting of ready-to-install components or component groups.

Reproducible high quality in series

Individual parts and small series are not our main focus. We focus on series from medium quantities upwards, which must have a reproducibly precise production quality. This is where our strengths as an experienced machining company come into their own, as we meet your requirements consistently and reliably with every series run.

Range of services on control cams and cam gears

The measure of all things in cam and gearbox design

Take advantage of all the benefits of modern and precisely calculated control cams and cam gears. We take all influencing parameters into account, from design to integration into your system. We manufacture the best solution for your requirement profile.

  • All directions – stepping, pendulum, turning and lifting movements
  • Coordinated gait – overlapping of several movements
  • Perfect calculation – exact calculation of movement sequences
  • From idea to function – design of cam gears including load and strength analysis
  • Computing power for your solution – calculation with the Optimus Motus program as well as CAD and CAM programming

Calculation, design and production from a single source

We develop fast and precise mechanical automation solutions based on control cams and cam gears. Two things set us apart: WASSERMANN has all the expertise in-house that is crucial for calculation, design and production. And we now know this technology so well that we can exploit its potential even under strict framework conditions.

This special constellation is almost a unique selling point. We will also be able to provide the right control cam or cam gear if the process tolerances of your machines are tight and the cycle time needs to be high.

We are happy to summarize our experience in this area in a single figure: 250,000 – that’s how many cam controls we have already manufactured. At least.

The extra class for your application: High-performance curves, special solutions, special applications

What makes high-performance control curves particularly demanding

Cams can become critical to the process if they run too loudly, show wear too quickly or are not adequately secured against the lifting of guided elements such as chains.

We know the behavior of control cams in detail. That’s why we are meticulous in the design and manufacture of cams and timing gears. It pays to take a close look, as this helps us to prevent malfunctions and failures. You can rely on a high level of process reliability.

Here are some reasons why curve technology is anything but trivial and should be left to specialists.

  • Small series – cams and cam gears are often special solutions with small quantities. This requires specialist knowledge of design and production.
  • A lot of power and speed in the curve – curves and cam gears often cover highly dynamic processes. They therefore need to be calculated precisely. These calculations are complex and should be carried out by experts.
  • Deep inside – because control cams and cam gears are usually installed in the core of the machines, they cannot simply be replaced. Reliability and quality are therefore essential for long-term process reliability and productivity.
  • Knowing and meeting loads – mechanically highly stressed parts work in cams and cam gears. The requirements for production, heat treatment and tolerances are extreme, and the geometries are complex.
  • The importance of details – exceptional durability and wear resistance can only be achieved if everything is right. That is why we take great care to ensure that even minimal changes in the manufacturing process, alloys or hardening are excluded.
