SCALING FACTOR G72
Application
This cycle allows you to increase or reduce the size of contours within a
program, such as for shrinkage or finishing allowances.
Activation
A scaling factor becomes effective as soon as the cycle is defined. Scaling
factors can be applied
• in the working plane or to all three coordinate axes at the same time
(depending on MP7410)
• to the dimensions in cycles
• also in the parallel axes U, V, W.
Input data
The cycle is defined by entering the scaling factor F. The TNC multiplies
the coordinates and radii by the F factor (as described under "Activation"
above).
To increase the size:
enter F greater than 1 (max. 99.999 999)
To reduce the size:
enter F smaller than 1 (down to 0.000 001)
Cancellation
To cancel a scaling factor, enter a scaling factor of 1.
Prerequisite
Before entering a scaling factor it is advisable to set the datum to an edge
or corner of the contour.
