The “Cam table” is an alternative to the graphical editor for defining the Cam graphs (“Cam” tab). The first line of the table always contains the start position of the master (and the related slave values) and the last line is always the end position. The lines in-between alternately define segments and points.
Below is a list of key elements and their descriptions:
|
|
Inserts a new line. |
|
|
Deletes the selected segment |
|
X |
X-position of the slave axis |
|
Y |
Y-position of the slave axis |
|
V |
Velocity of the slave axis |
|
A |
Acceleration of the slave axis |
|
J |
Jerk of the slave axis |
|
Segment type |
● Poly5: 5th degree polynomial ● Line |
These elements are always shown in every “Cam” configuration:
|
The following values result from the values of the respective segment. They cannot be modified. |
|
|
min (Position) |
Minimum value of the slave position |
|
max (Position) |
Maximum value of the slave position |
|
max (Velocity) |
Maximum value of the velocity of the slave, based on the master axis |
|
max (Acceleration) |
Maximum value of the acceleration of the slave, based on the master axis |

Select a line in the table by using this tool. Selected points are deleted by pressing the [Del] key. |
|
|
Add new points with this tool. Click the insertion point in the diagram. Te graph is then adapted automatically so that its curve runs through the new inserted point. |
