Cylinder surface transformation (TRACYL)

Peripheral surface machining can be executed on machines with an additional part
apparatus. It is typically handled with an A axis.
Peripheral surface machining offers a series of additional functions in comparison to simple
positioning along the A axis.
Programming in the run-off
The axis behaves like a Y axis while programming in the run-off. All plane machining can
also be executed in the run-off.
Drilling operations at any position patterns
Milling (pockets, contour pockets)
The Y values are converted while machining along the A axis rotation. The Y axis of the
machine does not move.
Milling grooves with parallel walls
Peripheral surface machining offers the
possibility of milling grooves on parallel
walls with and without groove side
offset. This is also possible when the
diameter of the milling cutter is smaller
than the groove width. In this case, the
cutter radius compensation may be
used. The required Y axis compensat-
ing movements are automatically cal-
culated by the controller.
Benefits
Additional business through expansion of workpiece spectrum
Reduction of set-up times by complete machining on one machine
