14.3.2.3 Step 3: Triggering automatic connection of segments
This function is only available after installing the »Cam Designer 3« licence upgrade.
After entering the technological basic conditions by means of graphical objects the segments
available can be connected automatically by the »Cam Designer«.
• The »Cam Designer« calculates the connections automatically (when a changeover to curve
mode is made). Manual starting of the connection calculation is only possible if the Expert mode
has been activated.

How to have the connections calculated:
1. Change to the curve mode.
• The objects from the entry mode are still visible (colour: "orange") but cannot be edited.
2. Start calculation of the connections.
• The calculation of the connections starts automatically when the Curve mode button is
clicked.
The connections are generated in such a way that impact-free and jerk-free motion is enabled in
accordance with the laws of physics. In addition, a check is made to see whether a transition from
one movement to another is possible without inflection points. This is possible precisely when only
- Modified sine curve
Function is only available with »Cam Designer 3« licence upgrade.
Suitable for the following movements:
• R-V (reversal-speed)
(is also called "harmonic combination")
• V-V (speed-speed)
Turning point & curve type can be set in the Properties dialog box.
- Acceleration trapezium
Suitable for the following movements:
• R-V (reversal-speed)
(is also called "harmonic combination")
• V-V (speed-speed)
Turning point & curve type can be set in the Properties dialog box.
- Modified acceleration trapezium
Function is only available with »Cam Designer 3« licence upgrade.
Suitable for the following movements:
• R-S (reversal-stop)
• S-S (stop-stop)
Turning point & curve type can be set in the Properties dialog box.
- Simple sine curve
Function is only available with »Cam Designer 3« licence upgrade.
Suitable for a circular motion of two orthogonal axes.
• Suitable for jerk-free motion but only with restrictions.
The angles on the left and right can be set in the Properties dialog box in
the range of 90° to +90°.
