4.4.4 Changing the velocity along a straight line

Requirements

The cam is opened with SIMOTION CamTool.

Change velocity along a straight line

To change the velocity along a straight line:

1. The velocity along a straight line is represented by a line in the V diagram (velocity

diagram).

Select the line. The mouse pointer shows the direction in which you can move the line.

2. Move the line with drag&drop to the new position. The S diagram (distance diagram) is

automatically adjusted.

Figure 4-5 Changing the velocity along a straight line

1. Double-click the straight line. The Straight Line Properties window appears.

2. Enter the new velocity in the Dynamic response tab and click OK. The line in the V

diagram (velocity diagram) is shown at the new position. The S diagram (distance

diagram) is automatically adjusted.

Notice

To specify an absolute slave velocity, you must select an absolute master velocity for

calculations in the Simulation Settings window.
