Translate To Origin

append transform sop and put in pivot xyz:

$CEX $CEY $CEZ

that brings transform handle to the centroid of the object.

In the translate fields type:

-ch("px") -ch("py") -ch("pz")

which puts your object back in the origin.

save as preset for later use.

also if the object is animated you can try branching a cache of frame 1

then using point to do the translation ($TX - $CEX2, $TY - $CEY2, $TZ - $CEZ2),

where CE2 is from the cache.

If you are using H9, you can also use the TimeShift SOP and set the frame value to 1 in order to get the centroid.

Personally I would just put $CE[XYZ] in the pivot parameters and -$CE[XYZ] in the transform parameters.
