When the cam data has been entered, press OK to view the graphs.
6 Curve Shape Select the cam curve shape from among the following 21 available
shapes. Data points are calculated along each section at the resolution
specified in the Phase Plotting column; the units used are those of the
master.
1. Straight line
2. Parabolic
3. Simple harmonic
4. Cycloidal
5. Modified trapezoid
6. Modified sine
7. Modified constant velocity
8. Asymmetrical cycloidal
9. Asymmetrical modified trapezoid
10. Trapecloid
11. One-dwell cycloidal m=1
12. One-dwell cycloidal m=2/3
13. One-dwell trapezoid m=1
14. One-dwell trapezoid
15. One-dwell trapezoid m=2/3
16. One-dwell modified sine
17. One-dwell trapecloid
18. No-dwell simple harmonic
19. No-dwell modified trapezoid
20. No-dwell modified constant velocity
21. NC2 curve
22. Tanget Matching
Display the combo box and click the desired shape.
7 Phase Plotting Set the resolution of the specified section. The Cam Tool generates
points along the specified curve shape at the interval of the master, in
user units. For example, if a certain section of the cam ranges between
0 ~ 90° and a phase plotting value is entered as 0.1, then points will be
generated every 0.1° and a total of 900 points will be generated for this
section of the cam.
8 Data (Provided/Not
Provided) For a new parameter, “----” is displayed.
“Provided” or “Not Provided” is displayed depending on the necessity of
the graph data editing. This is useful when switching from the originally
entered data and modified cam profiles.
