Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Programming Manual page 21

G17 and G19 are used for milling on a turning machine. If there is no machine axis Y, milling
can be implemented with the following kinematic transformations.
● TRANSMIT
● TRACYL
In principle, measuring cycles support kinematic transformations. This is stated more clearly
in the individual cycles, measuring variants.
Note
If a drill or milling cutter is measured on a turning machine, in most cases, setting data SD
42950: TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE = 2 set. These tools are then length-compensated like a
turning tool.
SINUMERIK controls have other machine and setting data that can influence calculation of a
tool.
