Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual page 407

The machine kinematics must correspond to the cylinder coordinate system:
● One, two or three linear axes and one rotary axis
● The linear axes must be oriented perpendicular to each other
● The rotary axis must be oriented parallel to one of the linear axes
Note
For active transformation, the names of the involved machine, channel and geometry axes are
different:
● MD10000 $MN_AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB (machine axis name)
● MD20080 $MC_AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB (channel axis name)
● MD20060 $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB (geometry axis name)
Transformation Types
The TRACYL transformation exists in three variants:
● without groove side offset (transformation type 512):
● with groove side offset (transformation type 513):
● programmable with or without groove side offset (transformation type 514)
TRACYL without groove wall offset
The cylinder surface transformation without groove side offset is used in machine kinematics
with one or two linear axes (axis configuration 1).
One linear axis
For a machine kinematic with only one linear axis (X), only grooves parallel to the periphery
of the cylinder can be generated (transverse grooves).
Two linear axes
For a machine kinematic with two linear axes (X and Z), grooves of any form can be generated
on the cylinder.
