11.7 SCALING (Cycle 11, DIN/ISO:

G72)

Effect

The TNC can increase or reduce the size of contours within a program,
enabling you to program shrinkage and oversize allowances.

The SCALING FACTOR becomes effective as soon as it is defined in
the program. It is also effective in the Positioning with MDI mode of
operation. The active scaling factor is shown in the additional status
display.

The scaling factor has an effect on

Dimensions in cycles

Prerequisite

It is advisable to set the datum to an edge or a corner of the contour
before enlarging or reducing the contour.

Enlargement: SCL greater than 1 (up to 99.999 999)

Reduction: SCL less than 1 (down to 0.000 001)
