M1: Kinematics transformation
2.2 TRACYL cylinder surface transformation (option)
TRACYL with groove wall offset
The cylinder surface transformation with groove wall offset is used for machine kinematics with
three linear axes (X, Y, and Z) (axis configuration 2).

For a machine kinematic with three linear axes (X, Y and Z), grooves of any form can be
generated on the cylinder.
Groove edges
Because the Y axis is oriented perpendicular to the turning center, almost parallel groove edges
can be generated even for groove widths larger than the tool diameter.
