5.4 Path Contours – Cartesian Coordinates

G00: Straight line with rapid traverse

G01: Straight line with feed rate F ...

To program a straight line, you enter:

• The coordinates of the end point

of the straight line

• If necessary:

radius compensation, feed rate, miscellaneous function

The tool moves in a straight line from its current position to the end point

. The starting position

is approached in the preceding block.

To program a straight line:

Straight line with rapid traverse.

Specify as relative coordinate, for example G91 X–50 mm.

Select the axis (orange-colored axis key), for example X.

Enter the coordinate of the end point.

For a negative coordinate, press the +/– key once, e.g. X = –50 mm.

Enter all further coordinates of the end point.
