6.1.4 Step 3: Defining the properties of the slave
The entries in the axes reflect the machine constants. Therefore, only work with real val-
ues.
 Enter the indicated values into the dialog box Slave.
Dialog object Description
Input field Name • The slave axis must have a definite name (e.g. Slave1)
and must not be used for other slaves at the same time.
• The name of the slave axis is used by the CamDesigner. CamDesigner creates a
Slave1.LC9 or Slave1.LC7.
In this *.LC9-file or *.LC7-file all profile data, cams and position markers are
stored.
Input field Minimum * Set range of motion
Input field Maximum *
Combination field Unit *
Selection of the unit
Control field
Absolute data model
Relative data model
When using the absolute data model, you have internal or external (PC) access to
each single base point. However, a fewer number of base points is available then.
• If the control field Absolute data model is not marked, the relative data model is
used. When using the relative data model, more base points are available. The
base points are distributed automatically.
• If the relative data model is used, the entire profile can only be accessed with the
Cam Designer Basic/Professional or Cam Loader to change the profile data.
Input field Curves * Maximum number of the curve profile to be stored.
Reserves should be considered in the maximum number of curve profiles.
Input field Points * Number of base points
Maximally 1 base point/ms or less
Group field
Background drawing
Curves are distinguished by colour.
Improved representation of the profiles in multi-axis applications. This serves to
make a collision analysis.
Input field
Gear factors z2/z1 *
Ratio between motor and tool
Example: multi-stage gearbox
Gearbox numerator = z2
×
z4 = 28
×
32 = 896 (value of z2)
Gearbox denominator = z1
×
z3 = 23
×
15 = 359 (value of z1)
