TRACYL transformation types
There are three forms of cylinder surface coordinate transformation:
●
TRACYL without groove wall offset (TRAFO_TYPE_n=512)
●
TRACYL with groove wall offset: (TRAFO_TYPE_n=513)
●
TRACYL with additional linear axis and groove wall offset: (TRAFO_TYPE_n=514)
The groove wall offset is parameterized with
TRACYL using the third parameter.
For cylinder peripheral curve transformation with groove side compensation, the axis used
for compensation should be positioned at zero (y=0), so that the groove centric to the
programmed groove center line is finished.
Axis utilization
The following axes cannot be used as a positioning axis or a reciprocating axis:
● The geometry axis in the peripheral direction of the cylinder peripheral surface (Y axis)
● The additional linear axis for groove side compensation (Z axis).

Rotary axis
The rotary axis cannot be programmed as it is occupied by a geometry axis and thus cannot
be programmed directly as channel axis.
