4.7.3.3 Scaling
Select the "Scaling" tab in the CamEdit dialog box to define the scaling and offset
of the leading and following axes.
S7T Config distinguishes between basic and range scaling:
Scaling Scaling point (catch point)
Basic scaling is applied to the complete cam
disk by means of a definable factor.
Zero point of the coordinate axis
The range is scaled within a start and end
point.
Start point of the specified range.
The start point may be greater than the end
point. In this case, the larger value is the
pivot point for scaling (thus the starting
point).
The leading and following axes can be scaled as follows:
• with basic scaling
• with two range scales (overlapping is possible),
• with offset
Note
If a scaled and/or offset cam disk is used in more than one object, the adjustments
go into effect in all relevant objects.
