DUPLEX CAM and Related Components

The unique design of the DUPLEX CAM enables a single mechanical component 
to actuate many movements in theCASSETTTE and PLATE handling sequence 
of operations.  The DUPLEX CAM is essentially 2 CAMS, the SLED CAM and the 
HOOK CAM, each with separate functions.

Right facing view of DUPLEX CAM
also SLED CAM FOLLOWER.

CAM MOTOR

SLED CAM

Formed by the groove cut into the right-facing side of 
the DUPLEX CAM.  As the DUPLEX CAM rotates a 
SLED CAM FOLLOWER engages the SLED CAM, 
executing the movements associated with loading and 
unloading the CASSETTE.

HOOK CAM

Formed by the outside shape of the DUPLEX CAM. As 
the DUPLEX CAM rotates, the HOOK CAM interacts 
with components that cause the PLATE to latch and 
unlatch and to be hooked and unhooked by the 
EXTRACTION BAR.

DUPLEX CAM positions
Use J. Bailey’s VISIO ill.

M1 CAM MOTOR

Mounted on the left-facing side of the DUPLEX CAM, 
the CAM MOTOR is controlled by the MSC which 
directs it to index the DUPLEX CAM to each of its 4 
positions based on feedback from the S10 and S11 
SENSORS.  

Ring flags: 
HOME FLAG 
POSITION FLAG

These 2 ring flags are mounted on the left-facing side of 
the DUPLEX CAM.  Their function is to block and 
unblock the S10 and S11 SENSORS as the DUPLEX 
CAM rotates.

S10, S11 
SENSORS

These 2 SENSORS are mounted on a common BD 
near the CAM MOTOR.  As the DUPLEX CAM indexes 
to each of 4 positions, the RING FLAGS either block or 
unblock the beam of the S10 and S11 SENSORS.  The 
status of the SENSORS is reported to the MSC,which 
then initiates the movement of the DUPLEX CAM to the 
next position.
