Programmable mirroring (MIRROR, AMIRROR)

Function
MIRROR/AMIRROR can be used to mirror workpiece shapes on coordinate axes. All traversing
movements programmed after the mirror call (e.g. in the subprogram) are executed with
mirroring.
Syntax
MIRROR X... Y... Z...
AMIRROR X... Y... Z...
Note
Each frame operation is programmed in a separate NC block.

12.7 Programmable mirroring (MIRROR, AMIRROR)
Mirror absolute in relation to the currently valid coordinate system
set with G54 to G57, G505 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.
The contour shown here is programmed
once as a subprogram. The 3 other contours
are generated using mirroring. The
workpiece zero is located at the center of the
contours.
