8.2.8 Programmable mirroring: MIRROR, AMIRROR
Functionality
MIRROR and AMIRROR can be used to mirror workpiece forms on coordinate axes. All tra-
versing motions of axes for which mirroring is programmed are reversed in their direction.
Programming
MIRROR X0 Y0 ; Programmable mirroring; clears old instructions for
offset, rotation, scaling factor and mirroring
AMIRROR X0 Y0 ; Programmable mirroring, additive to the existing instructions
MIRROR ; Without values: clears old instructions for offset,
rotation, scaling factor and mirroring
The instructions with MIRROR, AMIRROR always require a seprate block. The axis value has
no influence. A value, however, must be specified.
Note
The direction of rotation of the circle G2/G3 is also reversed automatically when mirroring.
