Professional Cam is the ideal and complete software for engineering, team, tuner, etc. developing camshafts. In fact the software allows, to design valve lift law, to calculate cam profile for the main type of valve train system, to verify the valve train system with the spring load calculus and also to analyze the geometry of combustion chamber.
PRESENTATION PURCHASE INFORMATION  


Presentation

The camshaft is the heart of the 4-stroke engine, and is therefore one of the components on which we mainly act to improve engine performance.

Usually after that have been defined the new valve timing and the maximum valve lift, two important steps must be overcome to create new cams :

calculation of the lift law which must satisfy the dual purpose of maximizing the volumetric efficiency and to guarantee the mechanical reliability
calculation of the cam profile which implements the lift law calculated in function of the valve train system of the engine

The software Professional Cam allows you to tackle these phases in an easy and professional way.
LIFT LAW

The software Professional Cam offers the possibility to obtain multiple lift laws, in this way it will be possible to satisfy the different needs, performance, reliability, and feasibility of the cam in function of the features of the valve train system.

Specifically, the software contains all the main lift laws that have been developed over the years and which appear to be the most suitable for the needs of the engines.

LIFT ACCELERATION
Example Lift law - software Professional Cam by NT-Project Example acceleration Lift law - software Professional Cam by NT-Project

NT-Polydyne This type of lift law is based on particular "polydyne" polynomials appropriately modified with a special algorithm to optimally connect it to eventual ramps, hence the name "NT-Polydyne".
NT-Spline This type of lift law is based on "splines" appropriately designed to create laws that satisfy the needs of engine valve train systems and which connect in an optimal manner to eventual ramps, hence the name "NT-Spline".
NT-Trigonometric  This type of lift law is based on trigonometric laws appropriately studied to create laws that satisfy the needs of engine valve train systems, and modified with a special algorithm to optimally connect to eventual ramps, hence the name "NT-Trigonometric ”.
NT-Polynomial 8° This type of lift law is based on an 8° polynomial law appropriately modified with a special algorithm to optimally connect to any ramps, hence the name "NT-Polynomial 8°".
NT-Dudley This type of lift law is based on the particular "polydyne" polynomials developed by Dudley appropriately modified with a special algorithm to optimally connect to eventual ramps, hence the name "NT-Dudley".

For each of these laws it is possible to manage some parameters that modify the level of aggressiveness of the law, furthermore these laws can also have ramps to recover the valves clearance, and can also have an asymmetric profile.

Into the software is also possible to import lift laws detected experimentally, and thanks to a special filtering algorithm it is possible to use them to obtain the cam profile.

In fact, the lift laws detected experimentally present various measurement errors, which emerge when speed and acceleration are calculated. Therefore, without adequate filtering and reprocessing it would be impossible to reuse them to calculate the cam profile.

VALVE TRAIN SYSTEM

The software Professional Cam Pro allows to calculate the cam profile for all the main valve train system, from those at direct attack, both with flat tappet, both with roller centered or offset, to those with rocker arms or finger arms, until to the systems with pushrods and rocker arms, both with flat tappet, both with roller centered or offset.

In the version Basic of the software there are only the valve train system with direct attack, both with flat tappet, both with roller centered or offset

The insertion of the data in the software to define the features of the valve train system has been designed to be as easy as possible, in this way even without having the drawings of the valve train system it is possible to collect the necessary data with simple experimental measurements.

SYSTEM DYNAMIC

By entering the weights of the elements of the valve train system and the features of the springs, thanks to the software Professional Cam it is possible to quickly check whether there are valve floating conditions and evaluate the level of the Hertzian pressure acting on the cams.

ENGINE

When you change the valve timing and the maximum valve lift one of the problems that you may encounter is interference with the piston, therefore in the software Professional Cam there is a module where you can enter the main data of the cylinder head and of the piston, for hemispherical and roof combustion chambers, and carry out a simulation of the operation to have an initial assessment of the situation.
