Interpolation Mode
In
Interpolation Mode, a table of points is generated from the ideal cam. These value pairs are then
transferred to the target system Global Drive Control.
Cam Designer provides two ways of generating the table of points:
1. Uniform distribution of points
All points are distributed with the same spacing along the cam profile:
2. Optimum distribution of points
The points are optimally arranged, i. e. a few points are generated for profile sections with low curvature
(e. g. straight lines) and many points are generated for profile sections with high curvature:
•
The optimisation process results in a table with clearly less points. If tables with equidistant
points were used for the same cam profile, 2 to 7 times more points would be required for the
same quality of movement. The achievable quality of movement depends on the shape of the
cam profile and the number of optimisation steps.
•
The progress of the error functions for minimum, average and maximum errors is shown during
optimisation.
