Cautions for G68 and G69 commands
G68 and G69 are modal G commands which
belong to “ 10” group. They must be speci-
fied on a single block basis, in principle.
G69 (program mirror image off) is used at
the time of power-on, reset operation, and
program reset.
These commands must be specified in the
tool nose radius compensation cancelled
state.
These commands may not be specified in the
finishing shape program of the special canned
cycle.
If automatic origin return “G28 X. . . Z. . . ; “
is specified whe–n the X–axis mirror image
feature is on,
the positioning of the inter-
mediate point specified in X and Z is affect–
ed by the mirror image, but the machine
origin, which is an absolute position, is not
affected by this feature.
