Axis Motion
This chapter describes the group of G-words that generates axis motion or
dwell data blocks. Major topics include:
Information about: On page:
Positioning axes 14-1
Polar coordinate programming 14-21
Automatic machine home 14-29
Dwell (G04) 14-35
Programmable mirror image 14-36
Axis clamp 14-39
Feed to Hard Stop 14-40
Use these 4 basic G--codes to produce axis motion:
G00 Positioning
G01 Linear interpolation
G02 Circular/Helical interpolation (clockwise)
G03 Circular/Helical interpolation (counter-clockwise)
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. The system installer
sets the in-position band width in AMP.
The format for the rapid positioning mode is as follows:
G00X__ Y__ Z__ ;
The G00 code establishes the positioning mode. In positioning mode, the
cutting tool is fed along a straight line to a location designated by the
programmed axis words.
The axes to be moved are determined by the axis names in the G00 block.
The end point of the move to be generated is determined by the values
programmed with the axis names.
Rapid positioning can be performed in the absolute mode (G90) or the
incremental mode (G91).
