Axial zero offset (G58, G59)

Note
For SINUMERIK 828D the statements G58/G59 have a different function than for SINUMERIK
840D sl:
● G58: Calls the 5th settable zero offset (this corresponds to statement G505 for SINUMERIK
840D sl)
● G59: Calls the 6th settable zero offset (this corresponds to statement G506 for SINUMERIK
840D sl)
Therefore, the following description of G58/G59 is only valid for SINUMERIK 840D sl.
The G58 and G59 functions can be used to substitute translation components of the
programmable zero offset with specific axes:
● G58 is used for the absolute translation component (coarse offset)
● G59 is used for the additive translation component (fine offset)
Requirements
The G58 and G59 functions can only be used if fine offset has been configured
(MD24000 $MC_FRAME_ADD_COMPONENTS = 1).
Syntax
G58 X... Y... Z... A...
G59 X... Y... Z... A...
Note
Each of the substitute operations G58 and G59 has to be programmed in a separate NC block.
