Coordinate System Offsets

Chapter 11

11-22

The G92.2 block must be programmed with no axis words. Axis words in

a G92.2 block generate an error. When you execute the G92.2 block, all

G92, {SET ZERO}, and Jog offsets are canceled on all axes. You cannot

cancel the offsets on only one or more of the axes.

No axis motion takes place during execution of a G92.2 block. Axes

remain at their last programmed position while the work coordinate system

adjusts to remove these offsets.

Your system installer has the option of activating, deactivating, or altering
the value of these offsets through PAL:

Work coordinate systems
External offset
Tool length offsets (geometry and wear)
Tool tip radius offsets (geometry and wear)
Tool orientation

These offsets can be modified through a PAL display page created by your

system installer or through some other input to PAL.

There can be an impact on the activation of offsets if a part program is

already active for automatic execution. Typically, any blocks that have

been read into the control’s look-ahead buffer use the newly modified

offset value. If a cutter compensation offset has been modified by PAL,

the control does not update the look-ahead buffer unless the offset is

currently active. Refer to documentation supplied by your system installer

for details on specific PAL offset operations.
