6.5 Chained transformations
Introduction
It is possible to chain the kinematic transformation described here, with an additional
transformation of the type "Inclined axis":
●
TRANSMIT
●
TRACYL
●
TRAANG (oblique axis)
as described in
References:
Function Manual, Special Functions; 3-Axis to 5-Axis Transformation (F2)
.
● Orientation transformations
● Universal milling head
Applications
The following is a selection from the range of possible chained transformations:
● Grinding contours that are programmed as a side line of a cylinder (
TRACYL) using an
inclined grinding wheel, e.g., tool grinding.
● Finish cutting of a contour that is not round and was generated with
TRANSMIT using an
inclined grinding wheel.
Note
The transformations described below require that individual names are assigned to
machine axes, channels and geometry axes when the transformation is active. Compare
the following machine data:
MD10000: AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB
MD20080: AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB
MD20060: AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB
Besides this, no unequivocal assignments exist.
Axis configuration
The following configuration measures are necessary for a chained transformation:
● Assignment of names to geometry axes
● Assignment of names to channel axes
