Transformations
6.1 General programming of transformation types
Orientation transformation
Three, four and five axis transformations (TRAORI)
For the optimum machining of surfaces configured in space in the working area of the
machine, machine tools require other axes in addition to the three linear axes X, Y and Z.
The additional axes describe the orientation in space and are called orientation axes in
subsequent sections. They are available as rotary axes on four types of machine with
varying kinematics.
1. Two-axis swivel head, e.g., cardanic tool head with one rotary axis parallel to a linear axis
2. Two-axis rotary table, e.g., fixed swivel head with tool table, which can rotate about two
3. Single-axis swivel head and single-axis rotary table, e.g., one rotatable swivel head with
4. Two-axis swivel head and single-axis rotary table, e.g., on tool table, which can rotate
3- and 4-axis transformations are special types of 5-axis transformation and are programmed
in the same way as 5-axis transformations.
The functional scope of "generic 3-/4-/5-/6-axis transformation" is suitable both for
transformations for orthogonal rotary axes and transformations for the universal milling head
and, like all other orientation transformations, can also be activated for these four machine
types with TRAORI. In generic 5-/6-axis transformation, tool orientation has an additional
third degree of freedom, whereby the tool can be rotated about its own axis relative to the
tool direction so that it can be directed as required in space.

Initial tool orientation setting regardless of kinematics
ORIRESET
If an orientation transformation is active using TRAORI, then ORIRESET can be used to
specify the initial settings of up to 3 orientation axes with the optional parameters A, B, C.
The order in which the programmed parameters are assigned to the round axes depends on
the orientation axis order defined by the transformation. Programming ORIRESET(A, B, C)
results in the orientation axes moving in linear and synchronous motion from their current
position to the specified initial setting position.
