  • Electronic cam control system
    Patent number: 6246201
    Abstract: An electronic cam servo apparatus uses a digital servo controller to perform motion equivalent to a mechanical cam. The control apparatus has one data table representing a characteristic of a mechanical cam and utilizes a data interpolation and the first derivative of a cam position profile to determine position and velocity commands to drive a servo motor which performs motion equivalent to a mechanical cam. Alternatively, the control apparatus uses the first cam specific data table to determine the position, velocity and torque/current command to drive a servo motor. The apparatus may additionally use a second data table representing varying cam load to obtain a more accurate torque/current command correction.
