Three linear axes (axis configuration 2)
For a machine kinematic with three linear axes (X, Y and Z), grooves of any form can be
generated on the cylinder.
The Y axis oriented perpendicular to the turning center means almost parallel groove edges
can be generated even for groove widths larger than the tool diameter.

6.3.1 Preconditions
Maximum number of TRACYL transformations per channel
The following machine data can be used to define transformation data records in a channel:
● $MC_TRAFO_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB_<n>
● $MC_TRAFO_TYPE_<n>
● $MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_<n>
with n = 1, 2, 3, ... max. number of transformation data records
Maximum two data records can be used for the
TRACYL, $MC_TRAFO_TYPE_<n> = 512, 513
or 514 transformation in a channel.
