If a scaling factor is active, “SCL” lights in the status display.

Working with a Scaling Factor

Scaling factors enable you to increase or decrease the display values

based on the actual traverse distance. The display values are changed

symmetrically about the datum.

Enter scaling factors separately for each axis in parameter P12.

Parameter P11 activates and deactivates the scaling factors in all axes

(see “Operating Parameters”).

Example for enlarging a workpiece:

P12.1

3.5

P12.2

3.0

P11

ON

This results in a larger workpiece as shown in the illustration at right:

1 is the original size, 2 is with axis-specific scaling factors.
