INPUT FROM 2D FILE

graphic

This function enables the program to obtain the Follower motion characteristics from any profile saved in DXF or MI format.

The file CAD must contain only the geometric informations of the profile completed with a point defining the start point of the profile.
(The files C:\cam-soft\cmm2000\cad\dxf \Rettangolo.dxf and C:\cam-soft\cmm2000\cad\mi \Policentrica.mi are useful examples).

Click the option “Displacement Diagram” when the drawing MI or DXF already expresses the displacement trend of the follower and not the shape of the Cam.
(See the file C:\cam-soft\cmm2000\cad\mi \Alzate.mi ).

Click the option "Cylindrical Cam Profile" when the drawing MI or DXF already expresses the vrapped profile of Cylindrical Cam.

Insert the required data specifying the chordal tolerance to be used to convert all the circle arcs in a segmentation, the max distance from two adjacent points and the direction to follow the profile.

Using the obtained S.V.A. graphic to define the shape of the Cam when are known the complete characteristics of the follower.

Cam obtained from the file Rettangolo.dxf:
