CNC screw machine mod

I was daydreaming of something like this for a cam-swiss screw machine
use a constant rise cam keyed to a timing belt pully ,mount them on
a needle bearing on the original cam shaft and belt drive the cam with a
stepper motor for a "universal electronic cam"
programing it could get tricky though (5 X axes)
