- Programmable mirror image
Note the following points when making a programmable mirror image:
• In the case of tool center point control of type 1
Mirroring the linear axis alone does not create a mirror image for the rotation axis.
To make the direction of the tool symmetrical, it is necessary to make a mirror
image for the rotation axis as well.
• In the case of tool center point control of type 2
When parameter MIR (No.19608#6) is set to 0, mirroring the linear axis alone
does not create a mirror image for I, J, K. Note that the inclination direction
specified by Q is the movement direction of the tool center point after mirroring.
When parameter MIR (No.19608#6) is set to 1, mirroring the linear axis
automatically creates a mirror image for I, J, K.
A mirror image cannot be put on the rotation axis directly.
- Restriction of commands
The following functions can be used but the state can not be changed in tool center
point control mode.
・Inch/metric conversion (An alarm(P/S5000) is issued if the state is changed by
G20 or G21)
・Mirror image (Do not change the state of the signal).
・Tool life management function
The tool length compensation with tool life management function must be
commanded before tool center point control is commanded.
・F1 digit feed (Feedrate can not be changed by using the manual pulse
generator.)
