Electronic Cam Tool

Phase/Position Setting

1. Unit (Phase)

The master position is generally referred to as the “phase” throughout the Cam Tool.
This is typically the external encoder. Select a radio button for degrees, pulses, or no
units.

2. Unit (Position)

The slave position is generally referred to as “position” throughout the Cam Tool.
This is the SGDH servo motor. Select a radio button for mm, pulses, or no units.

3. Maximum Phase Value from the Bottom Dead Center

This is the cycle of the master. Enter the maximum phase value of the cam curve data.
The default setting is 360.0 degrees.

4. Maximum Position Value from Bottom Dead Center

This is the maximum travel of the slave. Input the maximum position value of the cam
curve data. The default setting is 1000.0000000mm.

Machine/Motor Information

The remaining information is only required when using the Speed Data Table in the
CAM block. This information aids in determining the acceleration feed forward value
and changes this tuning parameter as the slave follows the master.

1. Ball Screw Lead

Select the radio button for Provided or Not Provided. When Provided is
selected, the setting range is 0.0 to 99999.9. When Not Provided is selected, the
value is automatically set to 0. This is the pitch of the ball screw, or the distance
the slide travels per rotation.
