If G92X100Y100; is commanded when the tool
is positioned at (200, 160) in G54 mode, work-
piece coordinate system 1 (X’ – Y’) shifted by
vector A is created.

coordinate system
Suppose that a G54 workpiece coordi-
nate system is specified. Then, a G55
workpiece coordinate system where
the black circle on the tool (figure at the
left) is at (600.0,12000.0) can be set
with the following command if the rela-
tive relationship between the G54 work-
piece coordinate system and G55
workpiece coordinate system is set cor-
rectly:G92X600.0Z1200.0;Also, sup-
pose that pallets are loaded at two dif-
ferent positions. If the relative relation-
ship of the coordinate systems of the
pallets at the two positions is correctly
set by handling the coordinate systems
as the G54 workpiece coordinate sys-
tem and G55 workpiece coordinate
system, a coordinate system shift with
G92 in one pallet causes the same
coordinate system shift in the other pal-
let. This means that workpieces on two
pallets can be machined with the same
program just by specifying G54 or G55.
