G52 - Offset Local Coordinate System:
In CNC Programming G52 G-Code used to shift
the program to given distance locally.
·
The G52
works the same as G54. This code sets the origin of the local (child)
coordinate system to the command location, relative to the current work system
origin.
·
G52
shifts the local coordinate system origin by a specified distance.
·
Multiple
G52 codes are not cumulative; subsequent shifts replace earlier ones. The G52
shift may therefore be cancelled by specifying a shift of zero.
·
If you
are using multiple coordinate systems, the G52 shift amount will affect all
coordinate systems.
·
G52 is a
non-modal, no motion code. The G52 coordinate system will stay in effect for
all work systems until it is cancelled.
·
The G52
is cancelled when RESET is pressed and at the end of a program. It is also
cancelled during a program by M30, G52, X0 Y0 Z0.
Example for G52:
G0 X0 Y0; move to origin
M98 P9100; call subprogram
G52 Y4; shift coordinate system 4 inches in Y
G0 X0 Y0; move to new origin
M98 P9100; call subprogram again with new
coordinates
G52 Y0; restore un-shifted coordinate system
