For detailed explanation
of creating rotary cut electronic cam curves, please refer to 9.4.2.3.
The rotary cut electronic cam data can be used for general rotary cut applications. However, for thick
material cutting application, the cutting angle and the cutter speed should be additionally considered on
setting electronic cam. DVP-20PM provides parameters for thick material cutting application as below.
Parameter Data Format Explanation
P1
Thick-material
cutting format
Integer
Thick-material cutting format setting:
0:
divide non-sync area (when pulses can be equally divided by
the drop times of cutter)
1: specify non-sync area (when pulses can NOT be equally
divided by the drop times of cutter)
b[2]=1: Specify the number of data points in sync area
b[3]=1: Borrow the data setting of previous electronic cam
b[4]=1: Non-smooth acceleration/deceleration for fixing the
resolution.
P2
Pulses per round of
Master
Integer Unit: Pulse
P3
Length per round of
Master
Integer Unit: mm
P4
Pulses per round of
Slave
Floating
point
Unit: Pulse
P5
Length per round of
Slave
Floating
point
Unit: mm
P6
Sync start angle of
Slave
Integer Set range: 180~360 degrees
P7
Sync end angle of
Slave
Integer Set range: 180~360 degrees
P8
Length of cutting
process on Master
Integer Unit: mm
P9
Number of cutters
on Slave
Integer Number of cutters applied in rotary cut application
P10
Length of Master
before sync area
Integer
When P1 is set as 1, the parameter sets the length of Master
before sync area.
P11
Angle between
start position and
sync start: angle θ
1
(degree)
Integer
When P1 is set as 1, the parameter sets the angle before Sync
Start.
