AXCAM

[MBAutomation]

Hello,

I need some clarification on the sample project in the Do-more manual.  It?s the AXCAM instruction. Sample starts on page  I?m the example it is using N0 for both X and Y and it?s also using N0 for the index loop.  Is this correct or was it a typo?


My second question.  Do I need to fill out 61 plot points with data, is is the Sin/Cos function doing that for me?

Which manual has examples of AXCAM?  What is the title of the manual?  Do you have a link to the .pdf?

Sorry about that I thought I attached  the manual.     It?s a BRX PPC https://cdn.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/brxuserm/ch11.pdf

For drawing a coarse circle the example is correct.  N0 is 0 to 60 * 6 = 0-360 degrees.  COS for X, SIN for Y.  N0 is used as the index for the data for 60 points worth of plotting.

You don?t happen to have this program file you can share do you?

I have it working, it was an axis setting. 

My next question.  In the example it?s utilizing two servos with the same type of drive. I?m assuming since the set points are the same.

In my system (Y) is on a lead screw and my (X) is on a timing belt.

In the Sin and Cos formula, mainly D10 (50000) ,  do I need to make the numbers reflect the different axis, or will they be the same numbers.

The two axis need to be identical to form a circle.  This can be done by using similar hardware or in your case the math may need adjusting to account for the mechanical differences.  Without empirical testing of how the axis interact it would be difficult to give good guidance on this aspect.

Sounds good.  Thank you!
