Precision Camshaft Manufacturing

At AXIOM Precision Engineering, we manufacture disc cams, cylindrical cams, face cams and index cam mechanisms on our 5-axis CNC milling and grinding machines with ±0.005 mm profile tolerance. We meet the critical motion control needs of the automation, packaging and automotive industries.

Cam Types We Manufacture

Every type of cam profile that converts rotary motion into linear or oscillating motion — machined with 5-axis CNC.

Disc Cam

The most common cam type; variable-radius profile on a flat plate. The motion law (DRDRD, cycloidal, harmonic) is specified by the customer. Essential for packaging and printing machinery.

  • Profile for any motion law
  • Steel / Cast iron / Stainless
  • Profile tolerance ±0.005 mm
Cylindrical Cam

Cams that move the follower axially via a helical groove on the cylinder surface. Compact design and high force capacity make them common in automation and textile machinery.

  • Groove tolerance ±0.01 mm
  • 5-axis CNC machining
  • Lubricated or dry operation
Face Cam

Cams that drive the follower axially via a groove or surface profile on a flat face. Offers an alternative to disc cams in applications requiring compact axial length.

  • Face profile ±0.008 mm
  • Double-sided profiling available
  • Steel / aluminium options
Index Cam (Globoid)

High-precision globoid or flat index cams that rotate the output shaft step-by-step. Provides precise indexing in robotic assembly, packaging and test lines.

  • Position repeatability ±5 arcsec
  • 2 – 24 stations
  • High-speed capacity
Custom Profile Cam

Custom acceleration and velocity profiles beyond standard motion laws; designed and manufactured with CAD/CAM software support. Spline, polynomial or point-cloud-based profiles.

  • Spline/polynomial profile
  • Point-cloud-based machining
  • FEA contact stress analysis
CNC Machined Complete Shaft

Integrated camshaft solutions carrying multiple cam profiles on the same shaft axis, providing multiple motion outputs. Engine camshafts and automation sub-system shafts are produced within this scope.

  • Multi-cam integrated shaft
  • Hardened and ground
  • CMM profile verification
