Time Lock CAM 273
Scaling Time Lock Cams
You can scale a time-lock cam profile in both time and distance when it is
executed. Selecting Scale Profile uses the stored profile for only the shape
of the motion, and scales the profile definition by the total time and
distance over which the profile is to be executed, as shown below.
To scale a: Do this:
Time-lock cam
profile 1. Select Scale Profile.
2. Enter the desired total time in seconds and the
total distance (in position units of the axis) over
which the profile is to be executed.
Profile only in
time Enter a total distance equal to the distance moved
by the axis when the profile is executed without
scaling (as implied by the defined profile in the
slave cam table).
Profile only in
distance Enter a total time equal to the motion time when the
profile is executed without scaling (as implied by
the defined profile in the cam time table).
