I don't know if enything that I say here can help or cornfuse the issue? But I guess I will post it and let you decide - as I am not familier with the Cam Cutting Equipment.
I usta make my own cams on the CNC mill. I had no instructions how to. What I did may or may not be Kosher, but I was able to make parts with my cams, so:
When I would lay out a job (on the B&S) I would lay out my tool list and the amount of stroke needed and at what feedrate. Also figger out how many degrees would be needed for rapids and such. Also needed to figger in tool lengths within reason as well.
Once I had all my degrees of rapids and such subtracted from 360*, I could then figger in how many "werking" degrees that I have left. Then figger in how much lift/degree I had to put in each tool.
Once this was all done - only THEN would you be able to figger out what cycle time change gears you would have to use. Not the other way around. (If that is what you are referring to?)
It has been 10 yrs or more since I have layed out a cam, so ...
Again - I don't know if any of this info is of help to you on this machine, but I would think that it hasta take into consideration all the things that I did for the CNC.
???
All of this info would be for the Z axis cam - or "lead cam" on a B&S, and I wouldn't expect the Swiss to be all that much diff. However - you would need to know at what point from ZERO* (dowel pin possibly?) each stroke is - so that your side cams can be tiimed to it? A 2 axis Strohm is likely a little more involved than a 1 axis B&S.
