A process and system for manufacturing a built-up camshaft by which the operational safety of the camshaft is ensured in a simple manner in any engine operation and the camshaft can arbitrarily be adapted to abutments which have different positions because of the individual engine construction. At least one cam is pushed onto a hollow shaft, after which the hollow shaft is expanded between the two faces of the cam which extend transversely with respect to the longitudinal course of the hollow shaft and at the respective bearing point by means of a highly pressurized pressure fluid. This fluid is delivered by a lance-shaped probe introduced into the hollow space of the shaft. On the one hand, a press fit occurs between the cam and the hollow shaft and, on the other hand, a bulging of the bearing point of the hollow shaft occurs which bridges the distance between the hollow shaft and the abutment. The hollow shaft is sealed off between the expanded points by a sealing arrangement on the probe with respect to the expanding internal high pressure.
System for manufacturing a cam shaft built-up of a hollow shaft and at least one cam, the system comprising:
An apparatus for manufacturing a built-up cam shaft formed of a hollow shaft and at least one cam, the apparatus comprising:
