This command is used set temporary work offset values. The temporary work offsets are used in combination to the main work offsets G54 to G59.

Applying a temporary work offset to an axis will change the working coordinate of the axis to the specified value.

When a temporary work offset is applied it is shown on the F2 screen as the current work offset + G92 

A temporary work offset is applied to all work offsets G54 to G59 until cancelled.

Syntax & Parameters

• G92 followed by axis values.
• X, Y, Z, A, B Value - specifies the axis you wish to offset and the new working DRO value

INFORMATION: G92 work offsets are be cancelled by G92.1

Example program

N10 G92 X10 Y20

In this example the X and Y axis will not move and a temporary work offset will be applied the the X & Y axis.

The X axis working DRO will display 10 and the Y axis working DRO will display 20.

The amount of the offset is automatically calculated to give the required working coordinate.

A common use of temporary work offsets is in with probing cycles such as setting the torch height in Plasma

N10 G38.2 Z-50 
N20 G92 Z0  
N30 G0 Z1

In this example the G38.2 probes Z axis toward the surface of the material and when the touch input is triggered it will stop

The G92 Z0 sets the working coordinate to Z0

G0 Z1 moves the Z axis 1 unit above the material surface.

INFORMATION: Units are defined as either inches or mm depending on your machines setup or G20 or G21 command in use.

Zeroing Axis with Temporary Work Offsets Applied

• DRO's with Temporary work offsets cannot be zeroed by pressing the X, Y or Z Zero buttons on the DRO.
• When a G92 work offset is applied to an axis and the DRO is zeroed the offset value will be applied show and on the DRO instead of 0.
• If you click on an axis DRO with a Temporary Work Offset applied and enter a new value, the Temporary Work Offset value will be applied to it and a new working coordinate will be displayed.
• Use G92.1 to cancel the temporary work offset.
