M1: Kinematic transformation
6.1 Brief description

TRACYL (option)

Note
The "TRANSMIT and peripheral surface transformation" option that is under license is
required for the function "Cylinder surface transformation (TRACYL)".
The function "Cylinder surface transformation (TRACYL)" permits the following services:
Machining of
● Longitudinal grooves on cylindrical bodies,
● Transverse grooves on cylindrical bodies
● Arbitrary groove patterns on cylindrical objects.
The path of the grooves is programmed with reference to the unwrapped, level surface of the
cylinder.
For machining, lathes with
● X-C-Z kinematics and
● X-Y-Z-C kinematics
are supported..
● The control transforms the programmed traversing movements of the cylinder coordinate
● For groove side offset, X-Y-Z-C kinematics is required with the following axes

system into the traversing movements of the real machine axes (standard applications X-
C-Z kinematics TRAFO_TYPE_n = 512):
– Rotary axis (1)
– Infeed axis vertical to the axis of rotation (2)
– Longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of rotation (3)
Note
Linear axes (2) and (3) are perpendicular to one another. The infeed axis (2)
intersects the rotary axis. This constellation does not permit groove side offset.
(TRAFO_TYPE_n = 513):
– Rotary axis (1)
– Infeed axis vertical to the axis of rotation (2)
– Longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of rotation (3)
– Longitudinal axis (4) to supplement (2) and (3) to obtain a right-hand cartesian
coordinate system.
Note
Linear axes (2), (3) and (4) are perpendicular to one another. This constellation
permits groove wall corrections.
