G56 Work coordinate system 3

Fanuc G-code · Mill, Lathe

On mills: Work coordinate system 3

Selects work offset 3, the third part zero. It works the same way as G54. Used for a third vise, part or fixture station so one program can cut several parts.

Format

How it works

Modal, group 14. Stays until another work offset is called.

Example program

Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.

Watch out for

• Set the offset on the work offset page or with G10 L2 P3.
• Stays active until another work offset is called, so call it again after every tool change if you use more than one.
• Check the right offset is active on the screen before pressing cycle start.

On lathes: Work coordinate system 3

Selects work offset 3. Program zero is taken from the G56 line on the work offset page.

Format

How it works

Modal, group 14.

Example program

Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.

Watch out for

• The external work shift line adds to every work offset. Keep it at zero unless you mean to use it.
• On most lathes the work offset holds Z only, with X at zero.
