TRACYL configuration
General machine data
The names of the machine data, channel axes and geometry axes from the general machine data ($MN_AXCONF...) and
channel-specific machine data ($MC_AXCONF...) are also used for a transformation.
The geometry axis assignments specified in MD20050 AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB only apply when the transformation
is deactivated. Additional assignments are specified for a transformation.
Note
The assigned machine
axis names, channel axis names and geometry axis names must differ:
MD10000 AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB
MD20080 AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB
MD20060 AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB
The axis names of MD20060 and MD20080 (geometry and channel axes) can be t
he same for the TRACYL transformation
(e.g. X, Y, Z.), if no Y axis exists outside the transformation. This is usually the case for lathes.

Required assignment of channel axes for TRACYL transformation in machine data MD24110:
Configuration without YM axis:
Channel axis number of axis radial to rotary axis
Channel axis number of rotary axis
Channel axis number of axis parallel to rotary axis
Configuration without existing YM axis:
TRAFO_AXES_IN_1[3] Channel axis number of axis parallel to peripheral cylinder surface
and perpendicular to rotary axis (→ YM axis)
Machine data specifically for TRACYL
● MD24900 TRACYL_ROT_AX_OFFSET_1
Rotational position: rotary axis setting, when Y=0 (in degrees 0... < 360)
Rotational position of axis in the peripheral cylinder surface:
● MD24910 TRACYL_ROT_SIGN_IS_PLUS_1
If the rotary axis rotates in an anti-clockwise direction on the X-Y plane opposite to the positive Z axis, then the MD must
be set to 1, otherwise to 0.
Direction of rotation for MD value =1:
