- Scaling and coordinate system rotation
If a coordinate system rotation command is executed in the scaling
mode (G51 mode), the coordinate value (a,b,) of the rotation center
will also be scaled, but not the rotation angle (R). When a move
command is issued, the scaling is applied first and then the
coordinates are rotated.
A coordinate system rotation command (G68) should not be issued in
cutter compensation mode (G41, G42) on scaling mode (G51). The
coordinate system rotation command should always be specified prior
to setting the cutter compensation mode.
1. When the system is not in cutter compensation mode, specify the
commands in the following order :
G51 ; Scaling mode start
G68 ; Coordinate system rotation mode start
:
G69 ; Coordinate system rotation mode cancel
G50 ; Scaling mode cancel
