虽然操作和日常维护比较简单，但特殊情况还是有点麻烦，例如：废料口的清洁（停机原点），相对还是麻烦的，使用时间久了，总会有一些残留，如果清理这里，位置空间不是很好去实施。。。

home (home return, reset)
As the context:....废料口的清洁（停机原点）
This term should be [停机原点], i.e.[Stop and Reset]
If only says the term [原点], jyuan_us said "original point, origin" will be correct, but wrong for the asker's context.
原点=original point, origin, means a point, in mathematics & geometry.
However, the context is specific to mechanical operation & maintenance. So, [原点] means [原点复归 Home Return、重新设定Reset、重设Reset、重置Reset].
By the way, the term [原点复归] is come from Japanese [原点復帰].
You may see in other website and find there are some in English as "Home position return", "Return to origin"....
But these are just literal meaning.
The correct meaning you can find on many control panels on machines or in their operation & maintenance manuals.
FYI.
