Example of a 3-axis and 4-axis transformation
2.13.2.1
Example of a 3-axis transformation
Example: For the schematically represented machine (see "Figure 2-1 Schematic diagram of
3-axis transformation (Page 33)"), the 3-axis transformation can be projected as follows:
Program code
$MC_TRAFO_TYPE_n = 18
$MC_TRAFO_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB_n[0] = 1
$MC_TRAFO_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB_n[1] = 0
$MC_TRAFO_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB_n[2] = 3
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_n[0] = 1
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_n[1] = 0
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_n[2] = 3
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_n[4] = 0
2.13.2.2
Example of a 4-axis transformation
Example: For the schematically represented machine (see "Figure 2-2 Schematic diagram of
a 4-axis transformation with moveable workpiece (Page 34)"), however, with an additional axis
(Y), the 4-axis transformation can be configured as follows:
Program code
$MC_TRAFO_TYPE_n = 18
$MC_TRAFO_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB_n[0] = 1
$MC_TRAFO_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB_n[1] = 2
$MC_TRAFO_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB_n[2] = 3
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_n[0] = 1
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_n[1] = 2
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_n[2] = 3
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_n[4] = 0

Example of a universal milling head
General
The following two subsections show the main steps which need to be taken in order to activate
a transformation for the universal milling head.
