The format for linear interpolation mode is:
G01X ____ Z ____ F ____ ;
Where : Is :
G01 G01 establishesthe linear interpolationmode. In linear interpolationmode, the
cutting tool is fedalong astraight line at thecurrently programmedfeedrate.
XZ This isthe locationof the endpoint of the linear move inthe current work
coordinate system.
F The F-word represents the feedratefor axismoves that take place inthe G01,
G02, and G03 modes. The F-worddoes not have to beprogrammed inthe G01
block however, if the F-wordis not programmeda feedratemust have beenmade
active in some previous block.
Linear interpolation can be performed in the absolute mode (G90), or the
incremental mode (G91).
