9.2 Setting the technology for simulation
Turning technology
Examples of machine kinematics:
● Conventional turning with two geometry axes
● Three spindles: Main spindle, counterspindle, tool spindle
● Counterspindle slides, tailstock as NC axis
● B axis: Aligning turning tools in the tool spindle
● Milling with geometry axes: TRANSMIT, TRACYL, TRAANG
Machine data for the turning technology:
MD52200 $MCS_TECHNOLOGY = 1 Turning technology
MD52000 $MCS_DISP_COORDINATE_SYSTEM = 34 Position of the coordinate system (exam‐
ple)
Milling technology
Examples of machine kinematics:
● Milling with five axes: Swivel/TRAORI
● Swivel head change
Machine data for the milling technology:
MD52200 $MCS_TECHNOLOGY = 2 Milling technology
MD52000 $MCS_DISP_COORDINATE_SYSTEM = 0 Position of the coordinate system (example)
Grinding technology
Machine data for the grinding technology:
MD52200 $MCS_TECHNOLOGY = 3 Cylindrical grinding technology
MD52200 $MCS_TECHNOLOGY = 4 Surface grinding technology
MD52000 $MCS_DISP_COORDINATE_SYSTEM = 0 Cylindrical grinding and surface grinding
with moving column (example)
MD52000 $MCS_DISP_COORDINATE_SYSTEM = 6 Surface grinding with table machine (exam‐
ple)
Meaning of the axes
MD52206 $MCS_AXIS_USAGE[n] Meaning of the axes in the channel
[n] channel axis number
= 0 No special meaning
= 1 Tool spindle (driven tool)
