Scale Factor
The scale factor can be set to scale the workpiece up or down from the preset
or programmed size. All preset and displayed dimensions are multiplied by
this scale factor. All programmed dimensions will be multiplied by this scale
factor when the program is run. The
numbers in your program are not
changed.
A scale factor of 1.000 causes the
readout to use preset or programmed
dimensions exactly. Values greater than
1 cause parts to be made larger; values
less than 1 cause parts to be made
smaller.
Example:
