Generating a cam data file using Cam Tool
Cam Tool is an editor for many of Yaskawa’s products and has a number of features that do not apply when
generating cams for use with an MPiec controller. Figure 1 shows Cam
Tool’s “Set Style” screen which allows
the user to set the units for generating the cam profile. Master and Slave (a.k.a Phase and Position) units can be
set on this page.
Select “No Unit” to indicate that Cam Tool should not perform any position conversion when the
file is saved. Proceed by simply entering all values in user units as defined by MotionWorks IEC’s Configuration
for the appropriate axes. The Machine/Motor Information section is not necessary.
