Programmable work offset: TRANS, ATRANS
Fu n ctionality
The programmable work offset can be used:
● for recurring shapes/arrangements in various positions on the workpiece
● when selecting a new reference point for the dimensioning
● as a stock allowance when roughing
This results in the current workpiece coordinate system. The rewritten dimensions use this as a reference.
The offset is possible in all axes.
; programmable offset, deletes old instructions
for offsetting, rotation, scaling factor,
; programmable offset, additive to existing instructions
; without values: clears old instructions for offset, rotation, scaling factor, mi
rroring
The instructions which contain TRANS or ATRANS each require a separate block.
See the following illustration for the example for programmable offset:
; Subroutine call; contains the geomet ry to be offset
Subroutine call - see Section "Subroutine technique (Page 132)".
