Machine data for TRACYL transformation
A TRACYL transformation is parameterized using the following machine data:
● $MC_TRACYL_ROT_AX_OFFSET_<t> (offset of rotary axis)
● $MC_TRACYL_ROT_AX_FRAME_<t> (rotary axis offset)
● $MC_TRACYL_DEFAULT_MODE_<t> (selection of TRACYL mode)
● $MC_TRACYL_ROT_SIGN_IS_PLUS_<t> (sign of the rotary axis)
● $MC_TRACYL_BASE_TOOL_<t> (vector of the base tool)
with n = 1, 2, ... max. number of possible
Sample axis configuration
Figure 6-10
The configurations highlighted in the figure above apply when TRACYL is active.
