Programmable scale factor (SCALE, ASCALE)

Function
SCALE
and positioning axes in the direction of the axes specified in each case. This makes it
possible, therefore, to take geometrically similar shapes or different shrinkage allowances
into account in the programming.
Syntax

Note
Each frame operation is programmed in a separate NC block.

: Scale up/down absolute in relation to the currently valid coordinate
system set with G54 to G57, G505 to G599.
: Scale up/down additive in relation to the currently valid set or
programmed coordinate system
: Scale factors in the direction of the specified geometry axes

The pocket occurs twice on this workpiece,
but with different sizes and rotated in
relation to one another. The machining
sequence is stored in the subroutine.
The required workpiece zeroes are set with
work offset and rotation, the contour is
scaled down with scaling and the
subprogram is then called again.
