ORMEC's ServoWire Motion & Logic Controller (SMLC) has added new software for creating electronic cams and profiles, plus a Cam/Profile Designer tool. The new features have been integrated into the SMLC and provided at no additional cost.Cam motions are based on a data table that describes the motion of a slave axis relative to the motion of a master axis. Cams can be up to 1024 points in length and the interpolation between each point can be linear, quadratic or cubic.
Multiple cams can be queued and/or repeated, as well as synchronized to high speed drive inputs.Profile motions are based on a data table that describes the motion of an axis relative to time. Profiles can be up to 1024 points in length and the interpolation between each point can be linear, quadratic or cubic.
Multiple profiles can be queued and/or repeated, as well as synchronized to high speed drive inputs.The Cam/Profile Designer tool aids users in creating Cam (master vs. follower position) and Profile (axis position vs. time) data. Users can enter the data directly into Cam/Profile Designer, or they can import data from a file and edit it graphically.
Cam/Profile Designer Utility Features
- View commanded position, velocity, acceleration and jerk data for specified motion.
- Set the type of interpolation used on a segment by segment basis.
