Mechanical Power Presses-
The
Kamco K80 style
Rotating Cam Limit Switches are the accepted standard
for controlling clutch and brake circuits on Mechanical
Power Press controls. These highly accurate, repeatable
devices offer simple set up and extreme reliability. By
using multiple cams for each critical event and cross
checking the contact operation in the press control, no
single component failure can cause inadvertent operation
of the press. The fact that the
Kamco
K80 units are
typically mounted on the press in an area that is not
easily accessible to unauthorized personnel, lessens the
chance of accidentally changing (adjusting) critical
control settings.
The
K80
Chain Break Base
can be used in conjunction with the Rotating Cam Limit
Switch to detect a broken / slack chain or belt. A
switch, held active under normal conditions, allows the
press to continue its cycle. If the chain loses tension
or breaks, the switch changes state and stops the press
from cycling.
Applications using solid state press controls
can use the
Kamco
K80-R Cam / Resolver Combination
unit. This device allows the mechanical cams to be used
for critical clutch and brake controls while the
resolver is used to control automation functions. This
method is not only the best solution for safety reasons,
it is also the most cost effective.

information provided above is for reference only.
Kamco
K80
units when properly applied meet or exceed OSHA
1910.217(c) and ANSI B11.19-1990 standards. Consult your
Press Control designer for specific installation and
wiring details.
Index Tables-
The
K80
Rotating Cam Limit Switch
is ideal for use in
controlling slow down and/or stop points over the table
travel. The unit allows for dwells to be set, based on
either direction of travel.
Packaging Machinery-
Applications
requiring accurate, repetitive control of cyclical
events such as
labelers, cartoners, case packers
and others are ideal for these units as they offer long
life, easy set up and competitive pricing.
Automation Equipment-
Any project
requiring feedback or control of rotary and/or rotary to
linear motion can implement the
K80
Rotating Cam Limit Switches.
Devices such as
lifts,
transfers, shuttles, hoists
and more can be accurately controlled using these
devices. Connection to the machine must be in such a way
that the Rotating Cam Limit Switch turns one revolution
or less over the complete machine travel. This can be
accomplished via chain and sprockets or with a gear
reducer.
Steel Industry-
Applications such
as
gates, valves, vessels, coil cars, lances
and more can be controlled
via these industrial hardened units. The simple, rugged
design allows these units to be set and forgotten in
many steel Steel Mill applications.
