Diagonal saw

9 Diagonal saw
The simplest case of the diagonal saw involves synchronization to velocity.
In contrast to the Flying Saw, where the angle between the directions of the master and the slave
movements is given, the coupling factor is given for the Universal Flying Saw. This coupling factor must be
calculated in such a way that in the synchronized phase the component of the velocity of the slave axis in the
direction of the master axis is the same as the master velocity. This means that the following equation is
used to calculate the coupling factor:
The angle a can not, of course, be 90°, because the slave axis would not then have any component of
velocity in the direction of the master axis.
