2.8.11 AUTOMATIC RETURN TO REFERENCE
POINT (G28) (Cent’d)
Notes :
1. For parameter setting and other details of
the low traverse speed return motion shown
in Fig. 2.8.11.2, refer to 5.2.1 Manual Re-
turn to Reference Point.
2.
The starting point for RETURN TO REFER-
ENCE POINT motion must be in the area
shown in Fig. 2.8.11.4.
Fig.
2.8.11.3 can
be started from any position.

3. Before writing G28 in the program, cancel
the tool position offset as shown below .

When G 28 is written with the tool position
offset or tool radius compensation on, the
offset or compensation is automatically can-
celled.
2,8.12 RETURN FROM REFERENCE POINT (G 29)
(1) With this function, the tool is positioned to
a specified point via the interim point, after
it has been once returned to the reference
zero point by the AUTOMATIC RETURN TO
REFERENCE ZERO COMMAND (G28) .

When G.29 is used, consideration on the dis-
tance between points B and C is unnecessary
in programming.
Especially when incremen-
tal instructions are used, this function is
useful to return the tool to the original co–
ordinate system after returning to the
reference zero.
Motions C + B and B + D are made simul-
taneously along the two axes in rapid trav-
erse. However, the tool will not move in
the direction for which instruction is omitted.
Where G28 is programmed several times,
the point B creat~d by the latest G28 in-
struction is effective for the motion by G 29.

Notes :
1.
Commanding G 29 without the execution of
G28 after turning on the control constitutes
an error “059. “
2. In principle,
cancel tool offset before pro-
gramming G28 or G29. If they are program-
med while offset is effective, the interim
point B will be offset, and the tool will pass
point B’.
