G50.1/G51.1 Mirroring Function

Format

• G51.1 X_Y_Z_
• G50.1 X_Y_Z_

Description

The command indicates machining the mirror image of machining contour.

• G51.1: denote mirror image on. The center of mirror image can be a line, or a point.
• G50.1: denote mirror image off.
• X_Y_Z_:
  • For G51.1, specifying mirroring center. The center can not only be a line, but also a point
  • For G50.1, specifying the axes disabled of mirroring function. If X, Y and Z axes are all specified or no one is specified, it denotes the mirror image functions of all the axes are closed.

Programming Example

G51.1 X10 'specify the mirror image of the contour relative to the line X=10

G51.1 X10 Y10 Z10 'specify the mirror image of the contour relative to the point (10, 10, 10)

G50.1 X0 'close the mirror image function of X-axis.

G50.1 Y0 Z0 'close the mirror image functions of Y-axis and Z-axis
