Axis-Specific Scaling - HEIDENHAIN TNC 320 User Manual

11.8 AXIS-SPECIFIC SCALING

(Cycle 26)
Effect
With Cycle 26 you can account for shrinkage and oversize factors for
each axis.
SCALING 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.
Resetting
Program the SCALING cycle once again with a scaling factor of 1 for
the same axis.
Please note while programming:
Coordinate axes sharing coordinates for arcs must be
enlarged or reduced by the same factor.
You can program each coordinate axis with its own axis-
specific scaling factor.
In addition, you can enter the coordinates of a center 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) with reference to the active datum.
