8 Outputs in 4 Output Housing 
The Mini·CAM is available in 4, 8, 12, or 16-output models to match a broad range of applications. The advanced design from AVG Automation has made it possible to double the output density of a 4-output unit and consequently the eight outputs are housed in a 4-output enclosure currently available in the market. This compact size permits installation of the Mini·CAM in physically tight spaces.

Non-contact Switching Assures Operation up to 2000 rpm without Contact Bounce 
The mechanical limit switches of rotary cam switches are replaced by photoelectric and solid-state switches, while the mechanical cams riding on the mechanical limit switches are replaced by adjustable Interrupter Discs. As the outputs are turned ON or OFF simply by interruption of the light beam in the photoelectric switches, there is no physical contact and consequently no wear. Also the output switches being the solid-state devices there is no contact bounce as is the case of electromechanical rotary cam switches. This solid-state non­contact switching allows operation at speeds up to 2000 rpm assuring improved accuracy and virtually eliminating the maintenance.

Logic Level or Optically Isolated Power Outputs 
Logic level PNP (sourcing) or NPN (sinking) plug-in output modules rated at 100 mA @ 50 VDC are available. When powered from internal power supply, the maximum load current rating of the power supply is limited to 100 mA on 4 or 8-output units or 200 mA on 12 or 16-output units. This type of output represents an economical way of interfacing the Mini · CAM to a PLC for additional logic capability. However, for switching higher loads directly, the optically isolated AC (1 A @ 120 VAC) or DC (I A @ 10-28 VDC or I A @ 90 VDC) plug-in modules are available. The optical isolation is rated at 2500 V between the outputs and the control circuitry, and provides for an extremely reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments. AC and DC modules can be mixed to suit your application.

Built in Resolver for PLS Interface or Position/Tach Feedback. 
The built-in resolver option allows you to combine the reliability of hard cams and the flexibility of programmable limit switches. The resolver can be used for position or tach feedback or it can interface to an external programmable limit switch (PLS). When connected to a PLS, it allows the cam settings for desired automation functions to be easily programmed in seconds saving time at job changeovers.

Easy to Install and Set-up
Installation and set-up of the Mini·Cam is extremely simple. Self-locking interrupter discs determine the "dwell" settings and are easily adjusted using the wrench supplied with each unit. An adjustable internal degree wheel can be quickly set to match the Mini·Cam shaft position to the machine "Zero Reference". The LED output status indicators are activated when each output is turned ON and help in quick and accurate set-up.
