Fixed Point Definition
Definition
The cam consists of individual cam segments. Under SIMOTION CamTool, you can use
fixed points, straight lines, sine curves, arc sine curves and interpolation points as cam
segments.
A fixed point is a specified position of the slave axis for a certain position of the master axis.

With a fixed point, you define a single fixed position. The transitions between adjacent cam
segments are optimally calculated by CamTool.

If you want to specify an arbitrary characteristic, you must use interpolation points. The
individual interpolation points are connected by CamTool with cubic splines in order to
generate a curve specified by the interpolation points which is as exact as possible.
