This invention discloses a
camshaft manufacturing process, comprising the following steps: S1: Determine the blank, clarifying the
machining allowance, dimensional tolerance values, and shape of the blank; S2: Determine the positioning datum of the blank, first determining the rough
machining datum and the finish
machining datum, and then selecting the rough datum based on the analysis and clarification of the finish machining datum; S3: Rough machining, using milling and lathe equipment to rough
machine the blank,
cutting out the outer contour shapes of the
cam and spindle according to the rough machining datum, and then
grinding the
camshaft dimensions; S4: Finish machining, first positioning the blank using locating keys, and then using a
grinding machine to precisely
machine the outer cylindrical surface,
cam groove, and oil hole of the
camshaft. In this invention, the use of locating keys to position the blank can improve the machining quality of the camshaft, and at the same time, the improved
quenching process solves the problems of excessive hardened layer depth difference and quality of soft strips in the transition zone, as well as the problems of camshaft
quenching cracking, soft strips, and peeling at the edges and corners.
