Mirror Image On / Off: G15.1 /

G50.1Function and Purpose:-

Mirror image mode can be turned on and off for each axis using G-codes. Higher priority is given to

the mirror image setting with the G-codes over setting by any other methods.

Programming Format

G51.1 X__ Y__ Z__ Mirror image ON

G50.1 X__ Y__ Z__ Mirror image OFF

Detailed:-

Use the address and coordinates in a G51.1 block to specify the mirroring axis and mirroring center

(using absolute or incremental data), respectively

If the coordinate word is designated in G50.1, then this denotes the axis for which the mirror image

is to be cancelled .Coordinate data, even if specified, is ignored in that case

After mirror image processing has been performed for only one of the axes forming a plane, the

rotational direction and the offset direction become reverse during arc interpolation, tool diameter

offsetting, or coordinate rotation

Since the mirror image processing function is valid only for local coordinate systems, the center of

mirror image processing moves according to the particular counter preset data or workpiece

coordinate offsetting data

G68 and G69 - Coordinate

System Rotation A rotation transformation can be applied to the controlled point

coordinates commanded by a part program or by the MDI line. To dothis program

G68 X__Y__R__

The X and Y words specify the center about which the rotation is tobe applied in the current coordinate system. R is the angle of

rotation in degrees with positive values being counter-clockwise. If X or Y are omitted then zero is assumed. A and B can be used as

synonyms for X and Y respectively.

To cancel rotation program G69.

If a G68 is used while rotation is in operation a G69 is implied before

it. In other words successive G68s are not cumulative and the X andY points are always in an un-rotated system.

When a rotation is in use the X and Y axis DROs will be red toremind the operator that these values are program coordinate valueswhich will be rotated

Note:

G68 may only be used in the XY plane (G17 mode)

The effects of changing work offsets when a rotation transformation is in

effect will be non-intuitive so it is wiser not to program this. Indeed care

should be taken proving any program including transformations. There is very little standardization of the functions of this code across

different CNC controls so careful checks should be made on code written for

other machines.

Jogging always takes place in the direction of the machine axes. The tool

path display frame is oriented to the physical axes and will show the part at

the angle at which it will be cut

No relationship between program and

diagram It is just a model

G15 and G16 - Exit and Enter

Polar Mode It is possible for G0 and G1 moves in the X/Y plane only to specify

coordinates as a radius and angle relative to a temporary center

point; program G16 to enter this mode. The current coordinates of

the controlled point are the temporary center

Format

G15 to revert to normal Cartesian coordinates

G0 X2.0 Y2.0

( normal G0 move to 2.0,2.0 )

G16 - start of polar mode.

G01 X1.0 Y45

( this will move to X = 2.7071, Y = 2.7071 which is a spot on a circle)

(of radius 1.0 at 45 degrees from the initial coordinates of 2.0,2.0 )


8/14

Example - Drilling a circle of

holes The code below moves to a circle of holes every 90 degrees on a circle of

radius 2.5", center X = 0.5, Y = 0.6 and high- speed peck drills to Z = -0.6

G00 Z0.0;

G01 X0.5 Y0.6; (go to the center point)

G16; (enable Polar coordinates)

G81 X2.5 Y0.0 R0.0 Z-.6 F3;(in G16 mode the X becomes the offset from

center and the Y becomes the degrees of rotation from the center)

X2.5 Y90;

X2.5 Y180;

X2.6 Y270;

G15; (cancels the g16)

G80; (cancels the canned cycle)

G01 Z0.0;

G00 X0.0 Y0.0;M30;

Note:

(1) You must not make X or Y moves other than by using G0 or

G1 when G16 is active;

(2) This G16 is different to a Fanuc implementation in that it uses

the current point as the polar center. The Fanuc version requires

a lot of origin shifting to get the desired result for any circle notcentered on 0, 0

SELECTION The G18 code is used to select the ZX plane for circular motion. In the XZ plane

(G18), circular motion is defined as clockwise for the operator looking from
