From the mechanical system to an electronic system
The purpose of electronic cam controls is not only to take the place of mechanical controllers but
to render their function more precise and simpler, to provide a universal range of application and
to reduce wear.
The mechanical cam control actuates a switch over sections of a circle, and this switch is closed
over the length of this section. Such a section is defined as a "cam".
Each switch represents one output. Several circuits arranged in parallel produce the number of
outputs.
Picture 1: Mechanical cam control
This basic principle has been adopted from the mechanical cam controls. A cam is programmed
for an output by entering a switch-on point and a switch-off point. The output is switched on
between these points.
Thanks to twenty years of experience, consistent further development and the use of ultra-mod-
ern technology, DEUTSCHMANN AUTOMATION has now become one of the leading suppliers
of electronic cam controls.
