The invention provides a
cam contour detection
system which is driven by a
wire rope and has simple structure, high detection precision and high efficiency. The
system comprises the following parts: a
numerical control rotary table used for driving a
cam to carry out horizontal coaxial rotation around a vertical mandrel, a guide rail which is provided at one side of the
numerical control rotary table horizontally, a slide block provided on the guide rail, a
laser range finding head which is provided on the slide block and at one side of the
cam, a raster ruler displacement sensor used for measuring horizontal displacement amount of the
laser range finding head, an
encoder used for detecting a rotation angle of the cam, a wire storage cylinder
assembly and a directive wheel which are provided at two sides of the slide block respectively, a
wire rope which is elastically sleeved on the wire storage cylinder
assembly and the directive wheel, and is fixedly connected to slide block, and an industrial control computer. The wire storage cylinder
assembly is in transmission connection with a stepping motor. The industrial control computer controls movement of the
numerical control rotarytable and the stepping motor, and calculates outer contour data of the cam according to data measured by the
laser range finding head, the raster ruler displacement sensor and the
encoder.
