Coordinate Transformation Cycles
AXIS-SPECIFIC SCALING (Cycle 26)
Application
Each coordinate axis can be programmed with its
own axis-specific scaling factor. In addition, the
coordinates of a center can be programmed for all
scaling factors. The size of the contour is enlarged
or reduced with reference to the center, and not
necessarily – as in cycle 11 SCALING FACTOR –
with reference to the active datum.
Activation
The cycle becomes effective immediately upon
definition in part programming.
Input data
• AXIS AND SCALING FACTOR:
Coordinate axis/axes as well as factor(s) involved
in enlarging or reducing the size of a contour by
axis-specific scaling. The factor is entered as a
positive value of up to 99.999 999
• CENTER COORDINATES:
Center of the axis-specific enlarging or reducing
cycle
Coordinate axes are selected using the soft keys.
Cancellation
The scaling factor is cancelled by entering factor 1
for the same axis.
Coordinate axes sharing coordinates for arcs must be enlarged or reduced by the same scaling factor.
Example:
Axis-specific scaling factors in the machining plane
Preset: Quadrangle (see Fig. 8.53)
Corner 1:
X = 20 mm
Y =
2.5mm
Corner 2:
X = 32.5mm
Y = 15 mm
Corner 3:
X = 20 mm
Y = 27.5mm
Corner 4:
X =
7.5mm
Y = 15 mm
• Enlarge X axis by factor 1.4
• Reduce Y axis by factor 0.6
• Center at CCX = 15 mm CCY = 20 mm
