Sinusoidal Motion-Law

Sinusoid Cam-Law, Motion-Law

This is a Traditional Motion-Law

Motion Description

This motion-law is a Sinusoid or Sine-Wave. The Segment-Parameters can define the number-of-cycles, the phase at which it start, and its amplitude.

Motion-Values

You CAN specify the:

Start Position

The Start-Position usually flows from the End-Position of the Previous-Segment.

End Position  

You CANNOT specify the:

Start Velocity & End Velocity

Start Acceleration & End Acceleration

Start Jerk & End Jerk

Segment Parameters

MT-CamLaw-Sinusoid-SegParameters

Phase - (degrees)

Circular degrees at the start of the segment

Number-of-Cycles - (360 degrees / Cycle)

Enter Number-of-Cycles

One machine cycle = 360 of the circular sinusoidal function

Amplitude

The Maximum amplitude of the Sine wave

Amplitude = Peak-to-Peak / 2

Segment-Range

Start-Range

End- Range

0 ≤ Start-Range < End-Range ≤ 1
SINUSOID  segment  Amplitude =0.5 ; Number of Cycles = 1, Phase = 0
