Cycle 11 SCALING FACTOR
ISO programming
G72
Application
The control can increase or reduce the size of contours within an NC program. This enables you to program shrinkage and oversize allowances.
The scaling factor takes effect 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 scaling factor is shown in the additional status display.
The scaling factor has an effect on
- all three coordinate axes at the same time
- dimensions in cycles
Requirement
It is advisable to set the datum to an edge or a corner of the contour before enlarging or reducing the contour.
Enlargement: SCL greater than 1 (up to 99.999 999)
Reduction: SCL less than 1 (down to 0.000 001)
This cycle can only be executed in the FUNCTION MODE MILL machining mode.
Reset
Program Cycle 11 SCALING FACTOR again and specify a scaling factor of 1.
