Programmable mirroring (MIRROR, AMIRROR)

Function
MIRROR/AMIRROR can be used to mirror workpiece shapes on coordinate axes. All trav-
ersing movements, which are programmed after the mirror call, e.g., in the subprogram, are
executed in the mirror image.
Programming
MIRROR X0 Y0 Z0 (substituting instruction programmed in a separate NC block)
Or
AMIRROR X0 Y0 Z0 (additive instruction programmed in a separate NC block)
Parameters
MIRROR
AMIRROR
X Y Z
Example of contour dressing
Program the contour shown here once as a subprogram You can generate the other con-
tours with a mirroring operation.

Absolute mirror image with reference to the currently
valid coordinate system set with G54 to G599
Additive mirror image with reference to the currently
valid set or programmed coordinate system
Geometry axis whose direction is to be changed. The value
specified here can be chosen freely, e.g., X0 Y0 Z0.
Example
; Working plane X/Z
; produce contour 1
; Mirror Z-axis (the direction is changed in Z)
; produce contour 2
