Time-Based Dwell 'G04'
The G04 function can be used to program a delay time in the NC-program
for functions such as relief cutting, machine control functions, etc.
G04 F<time in seconds>
G04 time-based dwell is active on a NC-block-by-block basis and must be
programmed in combination with an F-word. The F-word will then corre-
spond to a dwell time in seconds.
•
The maximum directly programmed time-based dwell is 600 seconds
(10 minutes) and the maximum resolution is 0.01 seconds.
•
The F-value programmed together with G04 can be programmed with
three places to the left of the decimal point and two places to the right.
•
In an NC-block in which a time-based dwell is programmed, the only
other items which can be programmed are M, S and Q functions.
•
The time-based dwell programmed in the F-value using G04 does not
affect the modally active F-values (feedrate).
