6.3 TRACYL cylinder surface transformation (option)
The TRACYL transformation permits the machining of cylinder jacket curves (grooves) on
turning machines. The machine kinematics must correspond to the cylinder coordinate
system:
● One, two or three linear axes and one rotary axis
● The linear axes must be oriented perpendicular to each other
● The rotary axis must be oriented parallel to one of the linear axes

Note
For active transformation, the names of the involved machine, channel and geometry axes
are different:
• MD10000 $MN_AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB (machine axis name)
• MD20080 $MC_AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB (channel axis name)
• MD20060 $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB (geometry axis name)
