Programmable scale factor: SCALE, ASCALE

Fu n ctionality
A scale factor can be programmed for all axes with SCALE/ASCALE. The path is enlarged or reduced by this factor in the
axis specified. The currently set coordinate system is used as the reference for the scale change.
Programming
SCALE X... Y... Z...
ASCALE X... Y... Z...
SCALE
The instructions which contain SCALE or ASCALE each require a separate block.
N o te
For circles, the same factor should be used in both axes.
If ATRANS is programmed with SCALE/ASCALE active, these offset values are also scaled.
See the following illustration for example for scaling and offset:
Programming example
N10 G17
N20 L10
N30 SCALE X2 Y2
N40 L10
N50 ATRANS X2.5 Y18
N60 L10
Subroutine call - see Section "Subroutine technique (Page 132)".

; Programmable scaling factor, clears the old instructions for offset, rotation, scaling factor,
mirroring
; Programmable scaling factor, additive to existing instructions
; Without values: clears the old instructions for offset, rotation, scaling factor, mirroring
; X/Y plane
; Programmed contour original
; Contour in X and Y enlarged two times
; Offset values are also scaled
