Introduction

The graphical user interface in SIMOTION CamTool allows you to create, edit and optimize cams.

SIMOTION CamTool is fully integrated in SIMOTION SCOUT. This allows you to also use in SIMOTION CamTool information configured in SIMOTION SCOUT (e.g. axis settings).

Basic functions

SIMOTION CamTool provides the following basic functions:

•Insert and edit cams.

Cams can be added to a SCOUT project using SIMOTION CamTool. In addition, you can edit with CamTool a cam created with CamEdit: Cams can also be imported from a text file or uploaded from a SIMOTION device.

•Modifying the representation of the cam in CamTool

In SIMOTION CamTool, you can show and hide diagrams, change the representation parameters of the axes and diagrams, and adapt the lines and fonts. You can also represent auxiliary lines in the diagram.

•Converting cams from SIMOTION CamTool to SIMOTION CamEdit.

To edit with SIMOTION CamEdit a cam edited in SIMOTION CamTool, the cam must be converted.

•Exporting cams into a text file.

•Downloading cams to a SIMOTION device

•Printing a cam.
