Cam Spring Machine vs Camless Spring Machine: Which One Do You Need?

## The Real Cost Behind "Cheaper"

Many buyers fixate on the machine price. But consider the **total cost of ownership**:

| Cost Factor | Cam Machine | Camless Machine |

|:---|:---|:---|

| Machine purchase | Lower | Higher |

| Setup time per job | 2–4 hours (cam arrangement) | 15–30 minutes (program change) |

| Downtime from changeover | High | Low |

| Tooling/cam costs | Additional expense per spring type | Included in software |

| Average batch size | Needs large runs to be economical | Works even for batches of 100 |

If you're changing products every few days, the lost production time on a cam machine can easily cost more than the price difference.

## Dongzheng's Recommendation

At Dongzheng, we help buyers choose the right machine based on their actual production profile — not the price tag.
