Kinematic transformation
The table (or part) component of the kinematic transformation is described by the transition from BCS to MCS.
TOWTCS
Wear values in TCS (tool coordinate system):
• If a toolholder with orientation capability is active, the tool vector is calculated as for TOWMCS, without taking
the wear into account.
• The wear data are interpreted in the tool coordinate system.
The wear vector in the TCS (Tool Coordinate System) is converted to the machine coordinate system by way of
the tool coordinate system of the kinematic transformation (KCS) and added to the tool vector.
TOWKCS
The wear value specifications for the kinematic transformation are interpreted in the associated TCS (Tool
Coordinate System).
The wear vector is converted to the machine coordinate system by way of the tool coordinate system of the
kinematic transformation and added to the tool vector.
G code change when a tool is active
Changing the G code in the group TOWSTD, TOWMCS, TOWWCS, TOWBCS, TOWTCS, and TOWKCS does not affect an
already active tool, and does not become effective until the next tool is selected.
A new G code of this group will also come into effect if it is programmed in the same block, in which a tool is
selected.
Evaluation of individual wear components
Evaluation of individual wear components (assignment to geometry axes, sign evaluation) is influenced by:
• The active plane
• The adapter transformation
• The five setting data shown in the table below:
Setting Data Wear components

SD42920 $SC_WEAR_SIGN_CUTPOS X X —
SD42930 $SC_WEAR_SIGN X — —
SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST X X X

Note
Wear components, which are subjected to an active rotation by an adapter transformation or
a toolholder with orientation capability, are referred to as nontransformed wear components.
