Today, I will talk to you about the meaning of cam in the computer-aided system, which may not be well understood by many people. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following contents for you. I hope you can get something from this article.

The meaning of cam in computer aided system is computer aided manufacturing.

CAM (computer Aided Manufacturing) mainly refers to the use of computer assistance to complete the whole process from production preparation to product manufacturing, that is, by directly or indirectly connecting the computer with the manufacturing process and production equipment, using the computer system to plan and manage the manufacturing process, as well as the control and operation of the production equipment, and to deal with the data needed in the product manufacturing process. Control and handle the flow of materials (blanks, parts, etc.), test and inspect products, etc.

It includes many aspects, such as computer numerical control (Computer Numerical Control,CNC), direct numerical control (Direct Numerical Control,DNC), flexible manufacturing system (Flexible Manufacturing System,FMS), robot (Robots), computer aided process planning (Computer Aided Process Planning,CAPP), computer aided testing (Computer Aided Test,CAT), computer aided production planning (Production Planning Simulation,PPS) and computer aided production management (Computer Aided Production Management,CAPM).

This is a broad definition of CAM. In a narrow sense, it refers to all production preparation activities from product design to manufacturing, including CAPP, NC programming, calculation of man-hour quota, formulation of production plan, formulation of resource demand plan, and so on. This is the narrow concept of the original CAM system. Today, the narrow concept of CAM is even further reduced to a synonym for NC programming. CAPP has been regarded as a special subsystem, while the calculation of man-hour quota, the formulation of production plan and the formulation of resource demand plan are divided into MRP Ⅱ / ERP system to complete. The broad concept of CAM includes much more content. In addition to all the contents contained in the narrow definition of CAM, it also includes the monitoring, control and management of all processes (processing, assembly, inspection, storage, transportation) related to logistics in manufacturing activities.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of the meaning of cam in the computer-aided system? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
