The control can machine the mirror image of a contour in the working plane.
Mirroring becomes effective as soon as it has been defined in the NC program. It is also in effect in the Manual operating mode in the MDI application. The active mirrored axes are shown in the additional status display.
- If you mirror only one axis, the machining direction of the tool is reversed; this does not apply to SL cycles
- If you mirror two axes, the machining direction remains the same.
The result of the mirroring depends on the location of the datum:
- If the datum lies on the contour to be mirrored, the element simply flips over.
- If the datum lies outside the contour to be mirrored, the element also “jumps” to another location.
