To move the tool according to the machine coordinate system, function G53 (programming with
respect to home) must be used when programming the movement of the Z axis (G01 G53 Z).
Function G53 is not modal and only affects the programmed movement.
In order for the jog movements to be carried out according to the machine coordinate system, CNC
general logic input "MACHMOVE (M5012)" must be activated at the PLC.
Case –D–
It is working with TCP, Tool Center Point
When working with TCP transformation, function G48 active, the CNC allows changing the tool
orientation without changing the position of its tool tip (part coordinates).
Obviously, the CNC must move several axes in order to maintain the tool tip position at all times.
Function G48, as described later on, is modal and it indicates when the TCP transformation
becomes active and when it is canceled.
Function G48, TCP transformation, may be used together with function G49 (movement in the
inclined plane) and G47 (movement along the tool axes)
