Edit the 2D-Cam:

IMPORTANT: Do not use the X and Y Points as manufacturing data.

For cam manufacturing data, use a Cam-Data FB and the Cam-Coordinates dialog-box

button. Click the Save Cam Data button to save the cam data to a CSV file-type.

The CSV saves the Roller and the Cam details when the Lifetime is enabled. Also, the data in the CSV file will have the data for all of the steps in the machine cycle.

The number of data points (rows) is equal to Machine Settings dialog > Number-of-Steps

See also the output connectors of the Cam-Data FB for further Cam-Analysis.
