Modifying an Element using the Cam Table

You can modify a cam element by clicking in the Master/Input, Slave/Output, Vel, or Accel column and typing in a new value. For Type, refer to Modifying the Type of a Cam Element.

The graphs are updated automatically when an element changes.

Some rules apply to the value entered:

• The Master/Input value must lie between adjacent Master/Input points
• The Master/Input value of the first and last point cannot change. These values are determined by the profile properties X offset and X amplitude
• The Slave/Output value must lie between the Y offset and Y amplitude set in the profile properties

If an entered value is invalid (due to the interpolation calculation), it is superseded with the original value without any error message.

About interpolation

The section between two consecutive cam elements is automatically calculated by a fifth order polynomial algorithm.

Modification of one cam element only affects the two adjacent segments.
