7.1 General information
The cam disc technology object defines the non-linear connection for a
synchronous relationship between a slave and a master axis.
The correlation of the position between the position of the master axis and the
resulting position of the slave axis can be specified via the cam disc editor in
graphical form. The position of the master axis is clearly specified on the abscissa
(x axis) of the cam disc coordinate system.

The cam disc editor also provides supports for the optimization of the curve shape,
for continuous and jerk-free transitions or for speed-optimal design of the cam disc.
