SECTION FOUR - PREPARATORY FUNCTIONS (G CODES)
Note: Unrecognized G codes will cause an error 549 to occur.
Interpolation functions
There are four modes of interpolation:
G0 Rapid linear
G1 Feed linear
G2 Clockwise arcs
G3 Counterclockwise arcs
Positioning (G00) rapid traverse (modal)
Example: G0 X3 Y2
G00 specifies positioning in rapid traverse mode. There is no need to program rapid traverse
rates because the rates are preset by parameters. Rapid traverse rates can be overridden by the
feedrate override switch on the machine operator's panel.
G00 moves the tool at a rapid traverse rate to a position in the work coordinate system for both
incremental and absolute commands.
Format: G00 ~-;
where ~- is: a combination of optional axis address (of X, Y, Z, A, B, C) as
X-Y-Z-A-...
The programmed feed remains in the feedrate register and can be activated by canceling the G00
command with a G01 command. The motions of all axes in G00 mode will be interpolated with
all axes reaching the end point simultaneously.
