Move to hardstop (G52)
6.14 Move to hardstop (G52)
By means of function G52 it is possible to program the movement of an axis until running into an
object. This feature may be interesting for forming machines, live tailstocks, bar feeders, etc.
The programming format is:
G52 X..C ±5.5
After G52, program the desired axis as well as the target coordinate of the move.
The axis will move towards the programmed target coordinate until running into something. If the
axis reaches the programmed target coordinate without running into the hardstop it will stop.
Function G52 is not modal; therefore, it must be programmed every time this operation is to be
carried out.
Also, it assumes functions G01 and G40 modifying the program history. It is incompatible with
functions G00, G02, G03, G33, G34, G41, G42, G75 and G76.
