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 be executed only 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.
Cycle parameters
Help graphic | Parameter |
---|---|
Axis and factor? Select the coordinate axis/axes via the action bar. Enter the factor(s) for axis-specific enlargement or reduction. Input: 0.000001...99.999999 | |
Centerpoint coord. of extension? Center of the axis-specific enlargement or reduction. Input: –999999999...+999999999 |
NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.
Change the following contents as needed:
- Tools
- Cutting parameters
- Feed rates
- Clearance height or safe position
- Machine-specific positions (e.g., with M91)
- Paths of program calls
Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.
In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.
With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.
