15.3 Programmable Mirror Image (G50.1, G51.1)
A programmed shape can be projected as a mirror image along the coordinates selected in v by command
G51.1 v
in such a way that the coordinates of the axis (or axes) of mirror image can be specified in v. The v coordinate may be X, Y, Z, U, V, W, A, B, C.
The v coordinate data entered here are interpreted as rectangular coordinate data even when polar coordinate data specifications are set up.
Using G90, G91 or operator I, the v coordinates of the axes of the mirror image can be specified as absolute or incremental data.
No mirror image will be on the axis, for the address of which no value has been assigned.
Command G50.1 v
will cancel the mirror image on axis (axes) specified at v. Any arbitrary data can be written for the v coordinates, its effect will only record the fact of canceling.
When this command is issued, no rotation or scaling command may be in effect. Otherwise an error message 3000 MIRROR IMAGE IN G51, G68 is returned.
When a mirror image is applied on an axis of composing the selected plane:
–the circle direction is reversed automatically (interchange of G02, G03)
–the angle of rotation is assigned an opposite meaning (G68).
