(4) On the Circumference input, enter the circumference of the RotaryKnife.

(5) On the CuttingStart input, enter the starting position for the RotaryKnife to start cutting. On the CuttingStart input, enter the
ending position for the RotaryKnife to end cutting. The speed of the conveyor and the RotaryKnife are synchronized
between CuttingStart and CuttingEnd. (If you want a cutting region of 10 when the Circumference is 360, set CuttingStart to
175 and CuttingEnd to 185.)
(6) On the generated cam profile, the movement amount of the main axis is 360Degree in ratio to PartLength. This means that
you must set the gear ratio of the motor and the machine in the parameter so that 1 rotation of the main axis equals
PartLength.
(7) On the generated cam profile, the movement amount of the serve axis is 360Degree in ratio to the Circumference. This
means that you must set the gear ratio of the motor and the machine in the parameter so that 1 rotation of the serve axis
equals the Circumference.
(8) For CuttingStart, you cannot enter a value that is less than 1/8 of the Circumference or greater than CuttingEnd. A "0x1172"
error occurs if there is an error in the CuttingStart value.
(9) For CuttingEnd, you cannot enter a value that is greater than 7/8 of the Circumference or smaller than CuttingEnd. A
"0x1172" error occurs if there is an error in the CuttingEnd value. To set the cutting region to the minimum, set CuttingEnd
and CuttingStart as equal values.
(10) On the CamType, enter the type of cam profile to generate. Available values are 1:RampIn 2:Running 3:RampOut
5:sRampIn 6:Running 7:sRampOut. If you enter 0, RampIn/Running/RampOut will be generated at once. The Running type
generates a cam profile which performs repeated cutting actions. The RampIn type generates a profile that includes the stop
state to the action of the Running cam profile performing the cutting action. The RampOut type generates a profile to switch
RotaryKnife from a running state to a stop state. A "0x1176" error occurs if the CamType value is outside of the range.
