F2: Multi-axis transformations
1.7 Generic 5-axis transformation and variants
Configuration
For configuration of a 6-axis transformation the extensions of the following machine data are
required:
• The channel axis index of the 3rd rotary axis must be entered in the following machine
data:
MD24110 $MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_1[5] (axis assignment for transformation)
• The direction of the 3rd rotary axis must be specified in the following machine data:
MD24573 $MC_TRAFO5_AXIS3_1[0..2] (direction 3rd rotary axis)
• An orientation normal vector with a length not equal to zero and which is not parallel or
anti-parallel to the orientation vector defined in machine data MD24574
$MC_TRAFO5_BASE_ORIENT_1[0..2] (basic tool orientation), must be specified in
machine data MD24576 $MC_TRAFO6_BASE_ORIENT_NORMAL_1[0..2] (tool normal
vector).
The previous offsets (vector):
• MD24550 $MC_TRAFO5_BASE_TOOL_1[0..2]
(vector of the basic tool with activation of the 5-axis transformation) 1)
• MD24560 $MC_TRAFO5_JOINT_OFFSET_1[0..2]
(vector of the kinematic offset of 5-axis transformation 1)
• MD24558 $MC_TRAFO5_JOINT_OFFSET_PART_1[0..2]
(vector of kinematic offset in table)
• MD24500 $MC_TRAFO5_PART_OFFSET_1[0..2]
(translation vector 5-axis transformation 1)
The following machine data is added as new offset (vector), describing the offset between the
second and third rotary axis:
• MD24561 $MC_TRAFO6_JOINT_OFFSET_2_3_1[0..2]
(vector of kinematic offset)
Note
Existing machine data blocks are compatible for transfer, without any changes having to
be made in the machine data. The new machine data therefore do not have to be
specified for a 3-/4-/5-axis transformation.
