8.9 Coordinate transformation cycles

Once a contour has been programmed, you can position it on the
workpiece at various locations and in different sizes through the
use of coordinate transformations. The TNC provides the following
coordinate transformation cycles:

Cycle

Soft key

G53/G54 DATUM SHIFT
For shifting contours directly within the program
or with datum tables

G28 MIRROR IMAGE
For mirroring contours

G73 ROTATION
For rotating contours in the working plane

G72 SCALING FACTOR
For increasing or reducing the size of contours

G80 WORKING PLANE
For executing machining operations in a tilted
coordinate system on machines with swivel heads
and/or tilting tables (not TNC 410)

Effect of coordinate transformations
A coordinate transformation becomes effective as soon as it is
defined — it is not called. It remains in effect until it is changed or
canceled.

To cancel coordinate transformations:

Define cycles for basic behavior with a new value, such as scaling
factor 1.0

Execute a miscellaneous function M02, M30, or an N999999 %...
block (depending on machine parameter 7300)
