Cycle 26 AXIS-SPECIFIC SCALING

ISO programming

NC syntax is available only in Klartext programming.

Application

Use Cycle 26 to account for shrinkage and allowance factors for each axis.

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.

Reset

Program Cycle 11 SCALING FACTOR again and enter a scaling factor of 1 for the corresponding axis.

Notes

  • This cycle can only be executed in the FUNCTION MODE MILL machining mode.
  • The contour is enlarged or reduced relative to the center, and not necessarily (as in Cycle 11 SCALING FACTOR) relative to the active datum.

Notes on programming

  • Coordinate axes sharing coordinates for arcs must be enlarged or reduced by the same factor.
  • You can program each coordinate axis with its own axis-specific scaling factor.
  • In addition, you can enter the coordinates of a center for all scaling factors.
