 CONCISE GUIDE FANUC 42 
Origin G53 cannot be written alone in the block. It must always be coupled to X or Z co-ordinates which 
identify the movement referred to the machine zero. This movement will always be carried out in rapid 
traverse. 
In the case of a more “traditional” use of the machine origin it is recommended to use an origin that can be 
modified (e.g. G59) having X0 Z0 as value in the table 
Example: 
N2 …… 
N3 T101 
N4
 G54 ; Workpiece origin activation 
N5 G92 S2000       
N6 G96 S150 M4 
N7 G0 X…. Z…. M8 
N8 …… 
For the operating procedure of “Origin Measurement” and “Origin Modification”, see Chapter 15 of the  
Concise Guide for Operator. 
NOTE. 
-  At power on the control automatically activates origin G54. 
-  In the program the storable origin (G54–G59) is called up but its value (X,Z,B,C,A) is to be entered 
directly in the origins table.
