Pattern rotation (G73)
7.7 Pattern rotation (G73)
Function G73 enables you to turn the system of coordinates, taking either the coordinates origin
or the programmed rotation center as the active rotation center.
The format which defines the rotation is the following :
G73 Q+/5.5 I±5.5 J±5.5
Where:
The "I" and "J" values are defined in absolute coordinates and referred to the coordinate origin of
the work plane. These coordinates are affected by the active scaling factor and mirror images.
You should remember that G73 is incremental i.e. the different Q values programmed add up.
Function G73 should be programmed on its own in a block.
Q Indicates the rotation angle in degrees.
I, J The are optional and define the abscissa and ordinate respectively of the rotation center. If
they are not defined, the coordinate origin will be taken as the rotation center.
