TwinCAT NC Camming
TwinCAT NC Camming offers the option of coupling a slave axis with a master axis via a cam plate. Traditionally, cam plates are described as two-column position tables with master positions and corresponding slave positions. In addition to this simple cam plate type, TwinCAT NC also supports so-called motion functions, which very accurately describe a cam plate via a few interpolation points and a selection of motion laws. The TwinCAT NC Camming PLC library contains all the function blocks required for dealing with these cam plates.
Table type:
- Position tables with master interpolations points and corresponding slaves positions; interpolation between the points is done linearly or by splines.
- motion function table describing a cam plate via motion laws according to the guideline VDI 2143.
- cyclic or linear processing
- cam plate through offset and scaling, can be modified on the master or slave side
- Motion functions can be changed on-line.
