Overview
The control provides the following TRANS functions:
Syntax | Meaning | Further information |
---|---|---|
TRANS DATUM | Shift the workpiece datum | |
TRANS MIRROR | Mirror an axis | |
TRANS ROTATION | Rotation about the tool axis | |
TRANS SCALE | Scale contours and positions | |
TRANS RESET | Reset the coordinate transformation |
Define the functions in the sequence in which they are listed in the table and reset them in reverse order. The sequence of programming will have an impact on the result.
For example, if you first shift the workpiece datum and then mirror the contour and then reverse the sequence, the contour will be mirrored at the original workpiece datum.
All TRANS functions reference the workpiece datum. The workpiece datum is the origin of the input coordinate system (I-CS).
