Introduction

Transformation types

The transformations specified here are mathematical representations that act directly on programming coordinates before the Cartesian transformations.

These transformations simplify the programming of geometries or even allow the programming of more complex geometries (example: circle  ellipse).

Transformations are additional options and subject to the purchase of a license.

Further documentation concerning transformations

The integration of user-defined transformations is described in the description of the transformation interface [McCOM-TRAFO].

Descriptions of kinematic transformations are contained in the document Kinematic transformations [KITRA].

Mandatory note on references to other documents

For the sake of clarity, links to other documents and parameters are abbreviated, e.g. [PROG] for the Programming Manual or P-AXIS-00001 for an axis parameter.

For technical reasons, these links only function in the Online Help (HTML5, CHM) but not in pdf files since pdfs do not support cross-linking.
