18.6 SCALING (Cycle 11
Effect
The TNC can increase or reduce the size of contours within
a program, enabling you to program shrinkage and oversize
allowances.
SCALING becomes effective as soon as it is defined in the
program. It is also effective in the Positioning with MDI mode of
operation. 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
Prerequisite
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)
Resetting
Program the SCALING cycle once again with a scaling factor of 1.
Cycle parameters
Scaling factor?: Enter the scaling factor SCL. The
TNC multiplies the coordinates and radii by the SCL
factor (as described under "Effect" above). Input
range 0.000001 to 99.999999
