A Cam-Follower Based Hammering Machine is a mechanical system that uses a cam profile to convert rotary motion into reciprocating hammer action. The cam lifts the hammer head via a follower mechanism, and once the follower drops from the cam’s peak, the hammer delivers a powerful strike.

This mechanism is used for forging, embossing, stamping, and compacting in small-scale industries and is an excellent educational project to understand cam profiles, follower motion, and impact mechanics.

Parts Used:

1. Cam Disc – shaped to control hammer movement
2. Follower Rod – rides over the cam surface
3. Hammer Head – delivers the impact force
4. Motor or Crank Handle – drives the cam rotation
5. Frame & Base Plate – supports the mechanism
6. Guide Rails – ensure straight hammer movement
7. Power Supply & Switch – controls operation
8. Springs or Counterweight – assist in hammer return
