 ABSTRACT
 This project deals with design and fabrication of
“CAM VICE ” which works in the principle of
eccentric cam mechanism.
 The main features of the cam vice are, holding
irregular jobs, more rigidity, reduces fatigue.
 Cam was designed to hold the job at high
pressure.
 The other parts were designed to hold the job in
rigid condition. This Cam vice is suitable for mass
production. It is possible to hold irregular
components also, and similar components can be
very quickly

 INTRODUCTION
 Cam vice is operated by the eccentric cam
mechanism. There is a cam lever, the job can be held
tightly in between the jaws.
 There is a cam lever, the job can be held tightly in
between the jaws. In this, first the job is place in
between jaws, and movable jaw, and movable jaw is
adjusted by adjusting the screw rod to maintain
according to the eccentricity of the cam with the cam
profile.
 After that, cam lever at the top is operated so that
the job is held tightly in the fixture.
 This type of fixture is useful for mass production
where only similar size of jobs is to be held5
APPLICATIONS OF ECCENTRIC CAM
VICE
The following are the major applications

 To maintain the high production rate.

 To decrease the handling time of the
product.
 To maintain safer handling for less
skilled operators.
 To hold the work piece rigidly while
machining

WORKING PRINCIPLE

 To hold the job, in the fixture, first the job to be

hold is placed in between jaws.
 The screw rod is adjusted, to maintain a gap equal
to the eccentricity in between job and the
movable jaw.
 When the cam lever at the top of the cam
assembly is operated, movable jaw moves forward
and holds the hob against fixed jaw tightly.
 An already gap is maintained between job and
movable jaw by screwing the screw rod. When
the cam lever is operated the movable jaw may be
equal to the eccentricity of the cam.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
 After the operations were done on the job, the job is
released from the jaws by operation cam lever opposite
to the direction of locking.
 When the cam lever is operated to release the job from
the jaws, movable jaw moves backward to its original
position.
 In this type of cam experiment the rack and pinion
concept is used to regulate the product.
 Things like guide pin, ratchet and pinion is mainly
included to attain this cam mechanism.

ADVANTAGES OF ECCENTRIC
CAM VICE
 Idle time of the machine is reduced.
 When compared with the mechanical vices, it consumes
less time for clamping and unclamping the job.
 It reduces the manual labour, hence production rate is
higher.
 In this mechanism there is no backlash.

DISADVANTAGES OF
ECCENTRIC CAM VICE
 Initial higher cost.
 Hand operated vice.
