Hello,
I’m trying to implement a cycle cam with a stop time-based segment like this:
So the cam will have a rising segment, a stop segment lasting x ms, and a final rising segment.
First of all, the cam must be recalculated during the different cycles in order to lengthen or shorten the duration of the central stop segment. As a consequence, the two outer rising segments must automatically adapt so that the overall cam still fits within the 360 master degrees.
In addition, I would like this cam to work at any master speed. Obviously, the dwell time must always be respected, so the master must never go from 0° to 360° in a time less than or equal to the dwell segment time.
Does anyone know how I could proceed? From what I’ve read, the final segment should be a flex step in order to close the gap. But how should I handle the first segment?
I also noticed that when changing the master speed, the cam no longer works correctly and starts to overshoot the master cycle. Moreover, I noticed that when selecting MASTER_ORIGIN_SLAVE_ORIGIN in the FlexProfile cam, this is not allowed when using a time-based cam.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.
