Axis Motion
This chapter covers the group of G-words that generates axis motion or
dwell data blocks. Major topics include:
Information about: On page:
Positioning axes 14-1
Automatic machine home 14-12
Dwell (G04) 14-18
Programmable mirror image 14-19
Axis clamp 14-22
Use these 4 basic G-codes to produce axis motion:
G00 Rapid Positioning
G01 Linear interpolation
G02 Circular interpolation (clockwise)
G03 Circular interpolation (counterclockwise)
After the execution of a positioning command the program proceeds to the
next block only after an in-position check function confirms that all
commanded axes have reached the in-position band. Your system installer
sets the in-position band width in AMP. See chapter 18 for details on the
G-codes that you can use to modify the in-position band check.
Format for the rapid positioning mode is:
G00X__ Z__ ;
Where : Is :
G00 The G00 code establishes the positioning mode. In positioning mode, the cutting
tool is fed along a straight line at the rapid feedrate determined in AMP by your
system installer.
XZ The end point of the move generated by the G00 block in the current work
coordinate system.
You can perform a rapid positioning in the absolute mode (G90), or the
incremental mode (G91).
