7.1.1 Overview
The SINUMERIK 802D sl pro provides you with a comprehensive range of functions for
machining centers with a rotary table or dividing unit. This includes:
● Clamping several workpieces to a dividing unit / turning clamp
● Clamping a workpiece to a rotary table
● 4-axis part programs from CAD-CAM systems
Highlight
● Machining of complex workpieces with standard package possible
7.1.2 Machining on workpiece periphery (TRACYL)
☑ Basic configuration
The TRACYL transformation is used for machining the peripheries of cylindrical bodies,
e.g. for milling slots. When using TRACYL, the milling machine must have an additional,
appropriate rotary axis (which can be interpolated with other axes) at its disposal, e.g. a
rotary table or a dividing unit.
• The groove path is programmed on the level
surface of the cylinder which is to be machined.
• TRACYL transforms the programmed traversing
movements in the Cartesian coordinate X, Y, Z
system into the movements of the real machine
axes (linear and rotary axes).
Highlight
● Easy-to-use workpiece periphery programming is standard
