The front cams in position 1 are designed for the Gildemeister multispindle automatic lathe models AS16, AS20, GS20, GM20, and GM20AC. These components are essential to ensure optimal and precise machine operation, and their technical specifications directly determine their performance.

The standard cams feature a working angle of 156° and a rest angle of 6°, allowing smooth and controlled movement. They are manufactured with different working strokes to adapt to specific part-processing requirements.

The cam design is optimized for actuating fixed and rotating front spindles, which are necessary for drilling operations and for supporting the workpiece during turning. Compared with cams in other positions, position-1 cams are shorter, making it easier for the bar stop to disengage during the loading of a new bar.

Position-1 cams offer a higher rapid lift, allowing the remnant to be ejected before the new bar is fed. This is crucial to avoid collisions with the tools and to ensure a more efficient work cycle. It is essential that the mounting and timing for this position be carried out with absolute precision at 27°.

A carefully set lever ratio must ensure that the remnant has enough clearance to fall into the chip conveyor without interfering with the tools mounted in the front positions. The versatility of these cams also allows them to be used in other positions, offering solutions for special operations where spacing is needed due to clearance limitations or vibration control.
