Explanation
- Z-axis workpiece origin offset
Definitions 1 and 2, described in "Definition of tool length
compensation" in Explanations for measuring the tool length
compensation, also apply to the general concept of the Z-axis
workpiece origin offset, as follows:
(1) Definition 1
In definition 1, the Z-axis workpiece origin offset is defined as
the distance from the machine zero point to the origin of the
workpiece coordinate system.

OFSL : Tool length compensation for the tool used to measure the workpiece origin offset
ZmG54 : Amount of movement from the machine zero point to the origin of the G54 workpiece
when measured with a tool having a length of OFSL
ZmG55 : Amount of movement from the machine zero point to the origin of the G55 workpiece
when measured with a tool having a length of OFSL
OFSWG54 : Workpiece origin offset for the G54 workpiece
OFSWG55 : Workpiece origin offset for the G55 workpiece
OFSWG55 ZmG55
As can be seen from the above figure, the Z-axis workpiece
origin offset can be calculated from the following formula:
OFSW=Zm-OFSL
where
OFSW : Workpiece origin offset
OFSL : Tool length compensation for the tool used to measure
the workpiece origin offset
Zm : Amount of movement from the machine zero point to
the workpiece origin when measured with a tool
having a length of OFSL
