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. 
You can specify the velocity and acceleration at the fixed point position.  
 
 
Notice 
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.
