Considerations
When machining a profile with a mirror image, the machining direction is opposite to that of
the programmed profile. If this profile has been defined with tool radius compensation, when
activating the mirror image, the CNC will change the type of compensation (G41 or G42) to
obtain the programmed profile.
Properties of the functions
Functions G11, G12, G13 and G14 are modal. Once mirror image is active on an axis, it stays
active until canceled with G10 or G14.
Functions G10 and G14 are incompatible with each other as well as with G11, G12 and G13.
On power-up and after an emergency, the CNC cancels mirror image (it assumes function
G10). The behavior of the mirror image function after executing an M02 or M30 and after
a reset depends on the setting of machine parameter MIRRORCANCEL.
