Three, Four And Five Axis Transformation (Traori) - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Programming Manual

The axis sequence of the rotary axes and the orientation direction of the tool can be set up
using the machine data as appropriate for the machine kinematics.
There are the following possible relationships:
Axes:
1st rotary axis
2nd rotary axis
Swiveled linear axis
For more detailed information about configurable axis sequences for the orientation direction
of the tool, see

Three, four and five axis transformation (TRAORI)

Function
The user can configure two or three translatory axes and one rotary axis. The
transformations assume that the rotary axis is orthogonal on the orientation plane.
Orientation of the tool is possible only in the plane perpendicular to the rotary axis. The
transformation supports machine types with movable tool and movable workpiece.
Three- and four-axis transformations are configured and programmed in the same way as
five-axis transformations.
