Tip!
To clearly represent the creation of closed profiles, only the corresponding sections
of the »Cam Designer Basic« are shown.

How to create a closed profile:
 First, the important sections (gradients, lines etc.) of the profile must be defined.
 Then, the sections must be connected without jerk, if possible. For this purpose, the
»Cam Designer Basic« has
– the sloped sine function
– the 5th-grade polynomial (x5)
A jerk-free connection in a profile means:
 The coordinates of the end point of an object must be identical with the initial point of
the following connected object.
 The gradient of the end point of an object must be identical with the following connect-
ed object.
Optimise the connection between the 5th-grade polynomial (x5) and a sloping line.
Here, the right end point of the polynominal must be connected with the left end point of
the line.
