G00 Rapid Positioning

Format

• G0 X_Y_Z_
• G00 X_Y_Z_

Description

This command is used for rapidly positioning the tool, but not machining the workpiece.

It can simultaneously perform rapid movement in several axes to produce a linear track.

During analyzing the command, if there is any motion in Z-axis, the motion will be resolved into motion in Z-axis and in plane to ensure safe movement. If the motion is Z-axis upward, motion in Z-axis should be before motion in plane, otherwise, motion in plane before motion in Z-axis.

The machine data specifies the maximum rapid moving speed of each coordinate axis; a coordinate axis will run at this speed in rapid traverse. If rapid movement simultaneously performs on two axes, the speed will be the maximum possible speed of the two axes.

The rapid moving speed in this command for each axis is set by parameter Rapid Feed Speed, or specified by F_.

This command is modal in a machining program.
