Kinematic transformation (M1)

12.1

Brief description

Application range
The control transforms the programmed traversing instructions from a Cartesian coordinate system into a real machine axis
system.
The TRANSMIT transformation is used for the face-end milling of turned parts on lathes (without any Y machine axis).
The TRACYL transformation is used to machine the peripheral surfaces of cylindrical bodies. The main application is the
milling of grooves. A TRACYL variant is provided for lathes. A second variant is provided for lathes with an additional Y
machine axis or for milling machines with a suitable rotary table.
Machine prerequisite
The lathe must be equipped with a C axis-capable main spindle. A second spindle must be able to drive the milling tool.
When used with TRACYL, the milling machine must be equipped with a rotary table that is capable of interpolating with the
other axes.
Availability
The TRANSMIT and TRACYL functions are configured using separate machine data sets and switched on or off by means
of special instructions in the program.
With the SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED, a maximum of two kinematic transformations (TRANSMIT,
TRACYL) may be configured and one of them may be activated using the program.
