Coordinate System Offsets

Chapter 11

11-18

A G52 offset can also be canceled by executing a G92 or G92.1,

performing a control reset or an E-STOP reset operation, or executing an

end of program M30 or M02. A G92 command only cancels a G52 offset

if one is active when the G92 block is executed. A G52 offset can be

activated at some time after the G92 block is executed even if a G92 offset

is still in effect.

CAUTION: G52 offsets are global. Changing from one

coordinate system to another does not cancel the offset. Do not

specify a change in coordinate systems (G54-G59) unless the

effects of the offset have been considered.

When you perform a Set Zero operation, the control shifts the current work
coordinate system so that the current tools position is the zero point of the

coordinate system. The axis where you want to perform a set zero on is

selected through PAL (refer to your system installer’s documentation) or

by the current jog axis if using the {FRONT PANEL} option.

The Set Zero offset is similar to the execution of a G92 X0 Z0 block, with

one exception. Unlike a G92, the set zero does not cancel a G52 offset.

The G52 remains active and continues to offset the current tool position in

the work coordinate system. When the G52 offset is canceled later, the

coordinate system shifts.

The Set Zero offset can be canceled by programming a G92.1 command,

executing a control reset operation, executing an E-STOP reset operation,

or programming an end of program M30 or M02 command. A control reset

may cancel the Set Zero offset, depending upon the selections made in

AMP by your system installer.

CAUTION: Set Zero offsets are global. Changing from one

coordinate system to another does not cancel the offset. Do not

specify a change in coordinate systems (G54-G59) unless the

effects of the offset have been considered.
