Commands
The cam design editor offers the following commands, and these may be called up through the toolbars on the relevant graphic window:
can only be called if input mode is active for graphic commands.
All these commands are only applicable to the associated window.
Adjustment to the Extreme Values
The window's co-ordinates are adjusted to the extreme values of the movement
Measurement of Distance
The horizontal and vertical distance to the current point from the point first clicked with the left mouse button is displayed at the top right hand corner of the window (please hold the mouse button down for this).
Current Position
The absolute horizontal and vertical position of the point currently clicked with the left mouse button is displayed at the top right hand corner of the window (please hold the mouse button down for this).
Horizontal Shift
Moves the selected point horizontally
In the velocity window for synchronous functions: shift along a straight line in the position window.
The left-hand edge of the graphic area can be temporarily moved in this way, so that the scale can be more easily read.
Vertical Shift
Moves the selected point vertically
In the velocity window for synchronous functions: adjustment of the position in the position window to the velocity
In the acceleration window for automatic function: adjustment of the acceleration
Shift
Moves the selected point
The following commands only apply in the graphic window for position:
Insert Point
Inserts a point at the cursor position
Synchronous Function
The chosen section is passed through with a synchronous function
Automatic Function
An optimum function is selected automatically for the chosen section
Including adjustment to the boundary values
Delete Point
The selected point is deleted, as is the corresponding section
The following four items define specific boundary conditions for the points:
The point type is correspondingly displayed in front of the point in the table window. This restrictions can mean that the end value of a section does not agree with the initial value for the following section.
Rest Point
The selected point is defined as a rest point (boundary condition: v=0, a=0)
Velocity Point
The selected point is defined as a velocity point (boundary condition: a=0)
Reversal Point
The selected point is defined as a reversal point (boundary condition: v=0)
Movement Point
The selected point is defined as a movement point (no boundary conditions)
Ignoreppoint
The selected point will be defined as ignore point. The selected point will transmitted as the Motion Function IGNOREPUNKT during the download to the NC. ingenopoint will be hidden in the view and it will be ignored as table point. the ignorepoint will be resetted by definig other types to the selection
Slide Point
The starting position of the following section or the end position of the previous
section is set at the cursor position, without changing the selected section.
The point can then be moved on to the section using horizontal shift.
Delete Slide Point
The slide point is deleted and the sections are joined together as they were previously.
Undo
The last change command of the salve will be undone The undo command can be applied multiple times
Redo
The undo command will be undone the data will be resotred. The redo command can be applied multiple times
