4.7.4 Creating cam disks with CamTool
You can also use SCOUT CamTool to create and edit cam disks. This tool can be
ordered separately. SCOUT CamTool offers the following benefits:
• Precise, graphic visualization of the cam
• Quick and easy cam definition by means of drag-and-drop of cam elements
• Quick and easy cam tuning by means of "dragging at the profile"
• Simultaneous visualization of the position, velocity, acceleration and jerk profile
has an immediate effect on the maximum velocity, the motor torque required
and on mechanical load.
• Tuning the velocity, acceleration or jerk parameters of the cam
The SCOUT CamTool SW is totally integrated into the user interface of
S7T Config.
For detailed information on the functions and handling of this SW, refer to the
"SIMOTION CamTool" manual.
