11.8 Mirror image (G11, G12, G13, G10, G14)
Mirror image may be used to repeat the programmed machining operation in a symmetrical
position with respect one or more axes. When using with mirror image, the movements of
the axes where mirror image is applied are executed with the opposite sign.
Programming
Mirror image may be applied by program using these functions:
G10 Mirror image cancellation.
G11 Mirror image in X.
G12 Mirror image in Y.
G13 Mirror image in Z.
G14 Mirror image in the programmed directions.
G10
Mirror image cancellation
It cancels mirror image on all axes, including the mirror image activated with G14.
If it is added to a path defining block, the mirror image will be canceled before the movement.
G11 to G13
Mirror image on X, on Y or on Z
Functions G11, G12 and G13 activate mirror image on the X, Y and Z axis respectively. These
functions do not cancel each other, thus being possible to keep mirror image active on
several axes at the same time.
If they are added to a path defining block, the mirror image will be activated before the
movement.
G14
Mirror image in the programmed directions
It may be used to activate or cancel mirror image on any axis. The activation or cancellation
is defined by programming function G14 and then, the axes next to the value that determines
whether to activate (<axis>=-1) or to cancel (<axis>=1) mirror image on that axis.
