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).
