Axis configuration
The following overview shows the relationship between the axes of the machine and the
relevant axis data.
Figure 7-13
The configurations highlighted in the figure above apply when TRACYL is active.
Assignment of names to geometry axes
According to the above axis configuration overview, the geometry axes to be involved in the
TRACYL operation must be defined with, for example:
MD20050 $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB[0]="X"
MD20050 $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB[1]="Y"
MD20050 $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB[2]="Z"
(the choice of names in the above figure is in accordance with defaults).
