3.5.1 Normalization
When a cam disk is defined based on segments, the various cam segments can be
provided in a standard form and normalized to factor 1, i.e. the range of values and
the defined range corresponds with the completed interval [0,1].
Mapping of a physical cam segment to the normalized range
Alternatively, the segments can also be entered in the physical range.
Advantages of normalization
• Motion is clearly defined for similar tasks
• Independent of physical units and ranges of master and slave
