Linked CAM control
fig. 11
Next to the standard CAM profiling tool the TJ2-MC__ also provides a tool to
link the CAM profile to another axis. The command to create the link is called
CAMBOX
. The travelling speed through the profile is not determined by the
axis parameters of the axis but by the position of the linked axis. This is like
connecting two axes through a cam.
In the figure, A is the Master axis (0) position, and B is the
CAMBOX
Axis (1)
position.
Linked move
fig. 12
The
MOVELINK
command provides a way to link a specified move to a
master axis. The move is divided into an acceleration, deceleration and
constant speed part and they are specified in master link distances. This can
be particularly useful for synchronizing two axes for a fixed period.
The labels in the figure are:
A. Time axis.
B. Speed axis.
C. Master axis (1).
D. Synchronized.
E.
MOVELINK
axis (0).
