4.8.1Optimizing a Cam

Introduction

Create the cam in the S diagram (distance diagram). The curve represents the path-related dependency between the master axis (X-axis in the diagram) and the slave axis (Y-axis in the diagram).

Structure of a cam

The cam consists of individual cam segments.

Under SIMOTION CamTool, you can use fixed points, straight lines, sine curves, arc sine curves and interpolation points as cam segments.

SIMOTION CamTool calculates interpolation curves between the individual cam segments and displays the V diagram (velocity diagram), the A diagram (acceleration diagram) and the J diagram (jerk diagram).
