The Shigiya GCMH-30 is a CNC masterless cam grinder built to eliminate the need for mechanical cam templates. Instead of relying on outdated methods, it uses a conversational cam programming system that accepts digital data. This feature allows users to quickly generate and modify cam profiles directly from CAD inputs, which speeds up development time and ensures consistent results.
Moreover, the flexibility of the software makes it easy to switch between part types, giving manufacturers a powerful tool for rapid production changes.
At the heart of this camshaft grinding machine is a hydrostatic slide system. Unlike traditional guides, hydrostatic slides eliminate metal-to-metal contact. This ensures smoother table movement, greater accuracy, and longer machine life. The result is a stable platform that consistently delivers precision camshaft profiles—even during long production runs.
In addition, this design minimizes wear, reducing maintenance and preserving part quality over time. When every micron matters, this stability makes a noticeable difference.
The GCMH-30 also features oscillation grinding capability. By moving the table along the Z-axis during grinding, it distributes wear on the grinding wheel and improves surface finish. This function is essential when working with intricate cam profiles that demand exceptional precision.
Furthermore, oscillation grinding reduces cycle times by removing material more efficiently. That means shops can achieve tighter tolerances in less time—without sacrificing quality.
This high-precision cam grinder supports a swing over table of 300 mm and center distances of up to 630 mm. It accommodates workpieces up to 30 kg in weight, making it suitable for a wide range of camshaft types. Despite its advanced features, the GCMH-30 maintains an intuitive layout, enabling quick operator training and easy daily use.
As a result, it’s an ideal choice for manufacturers looking to upgrade camshaft production with modern technology that boosts both speed and quality.
