6.3.3 Fields of application
The cam track technology object is used for applications where the several
switching signals have to be precisely output on certain axis positions of an axis.
The axis position of a virtual or real axis or also the position of an external encoder
can be used as reference.
6.3.4 Application
This cam track technology object can be used, for example, for the following
applications:
 Repeated position accuracy when processing objects on a running material
line.
 Position accuracy when repeatedly applying materials on products on a
running material line, for example adhesive dots.
 Repeated output of a chronologically precise switching signal depending on an
axis or encoder position.
