6.1 Brief description
6.1.1 TRANSMIT (option)
Note
The "TRANSMIT and peripheral surface transformation" option that is under license is
required for the "TRANSMIT" function.
The "TRANSMIT" function permits the following services:
● Face-end machining on turned parts in the turning clamp
– Holes
– Contours
● A cartesian coordinate system can be used to program these machining operations.
● The control maps the programmed traversing movements of the Cartesian coordinate
system onto the traversing movements of the real machine axes (standard situation):
– Rotary axis (1)
– Infeed axis vertical to the axis of rotation (2)
– Longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of rotation (3)
Linear axes (2) and (3) are perpendicular to one another.
● A tool center offset relative to the turning center is permitted.
● The velocity control makes allowance for the limits defined for rotary motion.
● A path in the cartesian coordinate system must not pass through the turning center point
(this restriction applies to SW 2 and 3).
Other system variables
● The tool center point path can pass through the turning center point of the rotary axis.
● The rotary axis does not need to be a modulo axis.
